Previous Meeting Minutes: May 17, 2016
The minutes were approved as presented.
New Business:
1. PW 2016-34 Intergovernmental Agreement (KC-TAP) for Kennedy Road Multi-Use Path
Mr. Olson said this agreement allows the city to accept $50,000 from the County for the path. This
item moves to the Council consent agenda.
2. PW 2016-35 IDOT – Purchase of Right-of-Way – Fox Hill
Mr. Dhuse said IDOT is seeking to purchase right-of-way at Rt. 34 and Diehl Farm Road on which an
SSA sign sits. The price offered by IDOT is $22,000. The City is responsible for demolition of the
present sign and a new sign location will be determined after the work is done. This moves to the
Council consent agenda.
3. PW 2016-36 Wrigley – Grant of Easement
This easement will allow for a traffic signal and intersection improvements near Wrigley. This moves
to the Council consent agenda.
Page 2 of 3
4. PW 2016-37 Wrigley Intersection Improvements – Bid Award
Ms. Morrison said there were 3 bidders with the low bid from Geneva Construction and she
recommended awarding to them. Work is expected to be completed in the fall. This moves to the
Council consent agenda.
5. PW 2016-38 Fountain Village - Development Status
There are outstanding punchlists with repeated unsuccessful attempts to obtain work schedules. Ms.
Morrison recommended preparing letters of default. The developer has been notified and a meeting is
scheduled for the coming week.
Mr. Mark Koenig, real estate broker and property manager, was present to represent the new property
owner. He said the owner just acquired the property in November and recently received a letter from
Standard Bank. A series of misfortunes have left the property in limbo. Mr. Olson said the developer
has been responsive recently and a decision will be made at City Council. This moves forward to the
regular Public Works agenda.
6. PW 2016-39 104 Beaver Street – Grant of Easement
Ms. Morrison said the City has been granted utility and drainage easements at this location. It does not
affect any other area drainage issues in the area. This moves to the consent agenda.
7. PW 2016-40 Street Name Signs Sales
Inventory of out-of-standard street signs has been taken and the city intends to sell the surplus signs. It
was noted that North Aurora sold their signs in just two days. It is possible the signs might be sold at
Hometown Days on a first come, first served basis, cash only. Proceeds will go into the General Fund
and the sale is expected to generate approximately $9,000. Alderman Kot said that publicity will be
needed. This is for information and Mr. Olson will inform the committee of the sale date.
8. PW 2016-41 NPDES Permit Annual Report
Mr. Dhuse said this is a required annual report to retain certain City permits and to assure that the City
meets standards set by the State. This report will be moved forward to the Council consent agenda.
9. PW 2016-42 Downtown Brownfield Project
a. Remediation Options
b. Financing Options
c. Redevelopment Scenarios
Mr. Olson said it could cost $200,000 to clean or excavate the soil at this location. When developed, it
could be paved over or encapsulated in concrete for a building. He said the study of this location was
begun more than 10 years ago and funded by the State. The City is now waiting for the owner's
decision about future site plans. This item will be on the July EDC agenda. Informational at this time.
10. PW 2016-43 Downtown Barrier Wall Safety Discussion
A recent vehicle accident in the downtown area was discussed and it was noted the vehicle drove up
onto the barrier wall. IDOT is currently studying this situation. Ms. Milschewski said it could have
been a serious problem if a pedestrian would have been injured and she said that traffic speeds through
town, however, Mr. Olson said this particular accident was not speed-related. Alderman Kot said he
will put this item on the July Public Safety meeting agenda. The committee agreed the sight lines at
Van Emmon/Hydraulic and Rt. 47 are very poor. There was discussion of having a taller handrail and
other possible solutions to the problems there. The committee will wait for IDOT's input.
Page 3 of 3
Old Business:
1. PW 2015-55 Pedestrian Crosswalk Signage
Mr. Olson reported the pedestrian crossing signs are ordered and due in August. Some advanced
warning signs also were needed at an additional cost of $2,000. Regarding signage at Autumn Creek,
Bristol Bay and Rt. 47/Hydraulic, the school district has offered to fund half of the signage costs,
however, will not share in the costs for crossing guards. The cost of a guard is $4,500 per location.
The matter will be taken to a school board meeting and Alderman Funkhouser will attend. Mr. Olson
said there was also discussion regarding some of the parking lots behind City Hall and the possibility of
the school paying for half of the paving to allow the schools to use. It was noted the schools have not
yet signed the inter-governmental agreement.
Alderman Kot inquired about the signage for Rt. 47 and Main. These signs were ordered after
obtaining State approval and should be placed by the first part of August. This is informational, but
will be brought back as updates are needed.
2. PW 2015-56 Maintenance of Stormwater Management Facilities Update
Mr. Dhuse will continue to work on this project as time allows. The Menards basin is being cleaned
now. A punchlist is being created and this item will return for an update in a few months.
3. PW 2016-21 Leopardo Energy
Mr. Olson said the City is moving forward with this project after gathering items that were requested
by Leopardo Energy. He said the City should receive an analysis in a few months to designate where
money can be saved.
Additional Business:
Alderman Kot said the traffic becomes congested in the evening rush hour on the north end of town.
The stoplights have been synchronized, but there is much more traffic. He also mentioned the light at
Cannonball does not remain green very long. It was noted that a light at Wrigley will exacerbate the
problem. When the lights are all synchronized, a problem will occur at Jericho. Mr. Kot also inquired
if the [drainage] work is done in Sunflower and the problem corrected. It has been rectified, but will
need ongoing maintenance.
Issues brought forward by resident Ms. Groner, will be addressed. These include a tree problem, road
striping and a sidewalk replacement. Alderman Milschewski will contact her. Mr. Dhuse said he had
received a bid for a hand railing and sidewalk east of her property. The “Do Not Enter” sign on the
alley is also being disregarded according to Ms. Groner.
In another matter, Mr. Dhuse said a resident on Van Emmon who had issues regarding his mailbox and
retaining wall pertaining to sanitary work being done in the right-of-way, had been spoken with and the
problems resolved.
Alderman Funkhouser asked if the approved RFQ for Kennedy Rd. had been sent out for bids. Mr.
Olson has sent it to several firms and it is on the website.
There was no further business and the meeting was adjourned at 6:53pm.

Parkway Maintenance Update
Public Works Committee – July 19, 2016
See attached memo.
Eric Dhuse Public Works
Name Department
Summary
The committee asked to be updated on the status of the parkway maintenance in regards as to
how many times we have mowed and any other pertinent information
Background
At a previous meeting, the committee had given direction to the public works director to use his
judgment for amount of times the certain rights of way within the city were mowed and or
maintained based on weather conditions throughout the seasons.
Recommendation
To date, we have mowed all of the major roadway parkways and most of the secondary
parkways one time. We are now looking at completing the first mowing for all roadways and
actually starting the 2nd mowing for some of the major collectors such as Fox and Kennedy. So
far, it has worked well and allowed us to “flex” the mowing time into our schedules instead of
dedicating someone for a week or two to mow all of the parkways. I would recommend that we
continue on this course of action for at least the rest of the season.

CHANGE ORDER
Order No. 1
Date: July 12, 2016
Agreement Date: May 6, 2016
NAME OF PROJECT: Church Street Water Main Improvements
OWNER: United City of Yorkville
CONTRACTOR: Superior Excavating, Inc.
The following changes are hereby made to the CONTRACT DOCUMENTS:
1) See Attached
Change of CONTRACT PRICE:
Original CONTRACT PRICE: $ 248,713.50
Current CONTRACT PRICE adjusted by previous CHANGE ORDER(S) $ 248,713.50
The CONTRACT PRICE due to this CHANGE ORDER will be (increased) (decreased)
by: $ 3,586.45
The new CONTRACT PRICE including this CHANGE ORDER will be $ 252,299.95
Change to CONTRACT TIME:
The CONTRACT TIME will be (increased) (decreased) by 0 calendar days.
The date for completion of all work will be July 1, 2016 (Date.)
Justification:
The location of the existing water main at intersection of River Street and Church Street
was found to be moderately different then what was discussed during the design phase.
Therefore during construction, the layout and method of connection of the new Church
Street water main to the existing River Road water main was modified. The
modification required additional water main and ductile iron fittings and resulted in the
following contract changes:
• Added 40 feet of WATER MAIN, 8-INCH D.I.P., CL 52 (Pay Item No. 2)
• Added 40 feet of POLYETHYLENE WRAP, 8” (Pay Item No. 4)
• Added 591 lbs of DUCTILE IRON FITTINGS (Pay Item No. 7)
• Added 21 SY of HOT MIX ASPHALT PAVEMENT REMOVAL (Pay Item No. 21)
CHANGE ORDER NO. 1
Page 2
CO-02
Per the above, the connection was modified to by installing a new in-line gate valve in a
valve vault on River Street. This resulted in the following contract changes:
• Eliminated one GATE VALVE, 8-INCH (RESILIENT SEAT), AND VALVE BOX
(Pay Item No. 5)
• Eliminated one CONNECTION TO EXISTING WATER MAIN (Pay Item No. 9)
• Eliminated one DISCONNECT AND ABANDON EXISTING WATER MAIN (Pay
Item No. 1)
• Added one GATE VALVE, 8-INCH (RESILIENT SEAT), IN 48-INCH VAULT
(Misc. Extras and Credit No. 2)
During construction it was determined that 3 houses located on River Street (east of
Church Street) were connected to the Church Street water main immediately north of
River Street. These 3 water services were transferred to the new water main. This
resulted in the following contract changes:
• Added three WATER SERVICE CONNECTION, 1-INCH (Pay Item No. 10)
• Added 45 feet of WATER SERVICE PIPE, 1-INCH TYPE K COPPER (Pay Item
No. 11)
During construction 2 additional sanitary sewer services were discovered; requiring 42
feet of additional water main protection for the new main per IEPA requirements. (Pay
Item No. 15)
During construction it was determined that the existing Main Street water main was
slightly different than what was shown on the plans. While the connection of the new
Church Street water main to the existing Main Street water main was constructed per
plan, the location had to be modified resulting in an additional 62 feet of sidewalk
removal and replacement (Pay Items No. 21 and 22)
During construction the existing Church Street water main broke. It was determined by
the City’s Public Works Department that the break was not a fault of the Contractor and
therefore the City’s responsibility to repair. Per the request of the City, the Contractor
repaired the main under time and material (T&M; Misc. Extras and Credit No. 1).
It was planned for 4 new manholes to be installed at the upstream end of sewer lines
that had blind dead ends (i.e. no existing manholes). The purpose of adding the
manholes was to better facilitate the upcoming sewer lining (2016 Sanitary Sewer
Lining project).
• The sewer lining on Fox Street was eliminated thus eliminating one TYPE A
SANITARY MANHOLE (Pay Item No. 31) and one SANITARY MANHOLE
VACUUM TESTING (Pay Item No. 32)
• The dead end for the sanitary sewer on Washington Street was discovered to be
a direct sanitary sewer service connection for 404 W. Washington Street in lieu
of a dead end. Therefore the proposed sanitary sewer manhole had to be
modified with an additional invert and a portion of the sanitary sewer service for
404 W. Washington Street was reconstructed. This resulted in the following
contract changes:
CHANGE ORDER NO. 1
Page 3
CO-03
o Eliminated one TYPE A SANITARY MANHOLE (Pay Item No. 31)
o Added one modified sanitary manhole and sewer service reconstruction
for 404 W. Washington Street (Misc. Extras and Credit No. 3)
Per the request of the City, a catch basin and associated downstream storm sewer was
constructed on Church Street to drain an existing low spot (Misc. Extras and Credit No.
4)
All remaining pay item deductions were a result of as-built field quantities.
Approvals Required:
To be effective this order must be approved by the agency if it changes the scope or
objective of the PROJECT, or as may otherwise be required by the SUPPLEMENTAL

II. Project Understanding and Approach
ngineering Enterprises, Inc. (EEI) is pleased to provide our understanding of the
construction of the shared-use path along Kennedy Road in the United City of
Yorkville. At EEI, our project understanding goes beyond the technical; we
understand that the purpose of this project is to provide a vital link for residents
to other regional bicycle paths.
The United City of Yorkville plans to install an 8 – 10 foot wide, 3.05 mile long hot-mix
asphalt shared-use path along Kennedy Road from Illinois Route 47 to Mill Road and the
Steven G. Bridge Park. The goal of this project is for the City to construct a shared-use
path in a financially responsible way which will meet the needs of a growing residential
area by providing pedestrian and cyclist accommodations to increase overall mobility
and safety along the corridor and provide connectivity to other regional bicycle paths.
The proposed path will reduce vehicle miles
traveled by providing a vital link between the
Mill Road bike path, the Autumn Creek and
Grande Reserve elementary schools, Steven G.
Bridge Park, commercial shopping, and the
Illinois Route 47 Trail to downtown Yorkville.
This will further provide access for Yorkville
citizens to the vast network of Chicago
regional bike paths such as the Virgil Gilman
bike trail, the Fox River Trails, the various spurs
of the Illinois Prairie Path, and Great Western
Trail, and various minor local bike paths which
total in excess of 150 miles of available trails.
Construction highlights of the project include:
3.05 miles of hot-mix asphalt shared-use path
Crossing at BNSF Railroad track
278 feet of storm sewer and associated drainage structures
Street light relocation and replacement
EEI has a firm understanding of all aspects of the project requirements. Our knowledge
and experience on similar type projects will allow us to meet City expectations
throughout the project construction. We further understand that this project will
require the highest level of on-site resident engineering, project schedule review,
quality control practices and documentation. Our detailed understanding of critical
construction elements/challenges and solutions for this project is described in the
following sections.

Communication will be one of the most critical
elements for the RE and Project Manager.
Maintaining an open line of communication with the
contractor, City, residents, businesses and other entities will
be essential in successfully completing the project. EEI will
provide the appropriate level of communication to the
entities described above in methods approved by the City.
Care will be taken during construction to minimize the
disruption and significant advance coordination with
residents and businesses will be required. Of note is the
Bristol-Kendall Fire Department Station 2 that is located
within the project limits. We will provide uninterrupted
access and determine if there are any other specific needs to
be addressed.
Methods that we have successfully employed on recent projects include conducting project public meetings, weekly
contractor meetings, weekly updates provided via project website or other means, detailed project fliers (handouts)
and direct individual communication.
Communication with the contractor is also an important element. In the preconstruction phase, all pertinent contact
information will be collected and distributed. During the construction phase, EEI will be in constant communication
with the contractor about the anticipated schedule and weekly progress meetings will be held to keep everyone on
track and accountable.

II. Project Understanding and Approach
llinois Department of Transportation (IDOT)
Processing
The Illinois Transportation Enhancement Program (ITEP)
federal funding for this project requires that the contract
be administered in accordance with the IDOT requirements.
As such, we will use the “IDOT Contract Inspector’s Checklist
for Contract Administration” as a guide. EEI will additionally
set up an empty job-box, which will be formatted in
accordance with IDOT requirements, during
preconstruction. This will allow for proper filing and easy file
management during construction and will result in efficient
audits by IDOT personnel.
tility Coordination and Avoidance of Utility
Conflicts
As with most projects constructed within developed
areas, there are a number of anticipated conflicts
with existing utilities, including numerous services. During
the preconstruction Phase, a utility coordination meeting
(or multiple coordination meetings) will be scheduled with
the utilities that are within the project limits. At these
meetings, the schedule for the required utility relocates will
be discussed and confirmed. EEI has already worked with
ComEd during Phase II Design on their relocation plan,
which they are currently implementing. Any remaining
utility conflicts that are discovered will be brought
up to the City along with a recommendation on how
to best mitigate the conflict.
The RE will attempt to minimize potential conflicts
during construction by reviewing grades and
locations with the contractor in advance of
installation. The RE will facilitate any modifications
needed to ensure uninterrupted function of the
Yorkville Tornado Siren. Minimizing disruptions to
the residents and businesses will be of critical
importance. Our goal of our RE is to be several steps
ahead of the contractor.

II. Project Understanding and Approach
oordination with Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) Railroad
The construction of this path involves construction of a
crossing over the BNSF Railroad. During Phase I
Planning, EEI coordinated with the railroad and with the
ICC for the petition. EEI continued this coordination during
Phase II Design and will ensure that the stipulations set forth
in the ICC Order that was issued are complied. In addition, EEI
will ensure the contractor is aware of the stipulation in the
plans that the spoils from the area in the vicinity of the railroad
tracks is to be used in that area and not taken off-site as it was
identified as a Potentially Impacted Property (PIP) in Phase I.
Further, EEI will communicate weekly with BNSF to keep them
advised on project status and more often while working in the
vicinity of the tracks. EEI will also coordinate work between the railroad contractor and the City contractor so that
construction goes smoothly and with minimal delay.
ight-of-Way and Easement Concerns
In many locations, the proposed path is being constructed in an area with
limited right-of-way or easement. Additional features in close proximity to
the path, such as the berm near Prairie Meadows limit the amount of space
for construction. The RE will ensure that the contractor stages their equipment
within the existing ROW per the plans and works only in the easements designated
by the Engineer.
aintenance of Traffic
The RE will ensure that the contractor’s operations will not significantly
impact traffic and pedestrian flow. Public access will need to be
maintained during construction as detailed on the plans. The project will
require careful and continuous monitoring of traffic control and signage around
the construction area and pedestrian detours. Traffic control checks will be
performed as required by the City.
Mail delivery, garbage pick-up, bus routes and emergency access will undoubtedly
be affected throughout the duration of this project. Coordination and
communication with those entities will ensure that uninterrupted services are
maintained and that the service providers can revise their routes as needed. Regarding emergency vehicles, it is our
intent to provide weekly updates to the various parties involved with the project, which would include the police and
fire departments. Keeping these entities informed of the most recent activities and providing them with the 24-hour
emergency contact information for the contractor and the RE will reduce the potential for hazardous situations.

II. Project Understanding and Approach
reservation of Drainage
As with most construction projects, preservation of
drainage and control of erosion will be a prime
concern. The RE will be conscientious to ensure that
the contractor has established appropriate erosion control
and that the erosion control is functioning properly. The
existing detention area near Prairie Meadows will be an
outfall for part of the project and the RE will be especially
mindful of erosion control in this area.
The RE will also ensure that the drainage patterns that were
established during the Kennedy Road construction project
in 2014 are maintained and that ditches and culverts that
were installed are protected.
ust Control
While some disturbances for residents and businesses
are anticipated, the intention throughout the project
will be to keep these disturbances to an absolute
minimum. Streets within and adjacent to the project will be
kept in a clean and serviceable condition as possible
through the construction process. The RE will work closely
with the City to ensure that dust control measures are
effectively and regularly implemented.
onstruction Engineering Requirements and City
Expectations
In addition to the critical construction elements described in the understanding above, we also understand the
City’s expectations in regards to the construction engineering services to be provided as follows:
Construction Administration – Consisting of Preparation of Pay Estimates, Change Orders and Other Project
Related Documentation, Reviewing of Shop Drawings and Submittals, Monitoring and Reviewing of
Construction Schedules, Coordination Between Various Local Agencies and Residents, Attendance to and
Recording of All Construction Conferences
Inspection Services – Consisting of Resident Engineering, Construction Inspection and Reporting as to
Acceptability of Work and Conformance to the Contract Documents, Material Testing, Performance of Regular
Traffic Control Inspections, and Provision and Verification of Layout/Staking
Project Documentation – All Project Documentation Fully Compliant with IDOT Requirements
Project Closeout/Record Drawings – Prepare Punch Lists and Ensure Project Completion and Acceptance
with the City, Prepare Closeout Documentation and Record Drawings, Prepare our final invoice so the City can
receive the final reimbursement of Construction Engineering services as quickly as possible.

II. Project Understanding and Approach
In addition to the items discussed above, the true success of this project will require continual communication
with the Contractor, City, residents, businesses and other governing agencies throughout the process. By
providing our contact information to all interested parties and ensuring that they know how to contact the RE, many
issues can be avoided or quickly corrected to minimize disturbances. Additionally, providing project updates via
flyers, door hangers, the City’s website or a project website will ensure that all interested parties are kept informed
and are prepared for each phase of construction. In summary, we understand that the City expects the project to
proceed in a manner consistent with the exceptional level of service that the residents of Yorkville have come to
expect. We believe our experienced project team together with our willingness to listen to the City’s needs and
concerns makes EEI the preferred consulting engineering firm for the project.

Summary
Review of an RFQ for construction engineering services for Kennedy Road path.
Background
The next step in the Kennedy Road multi-use path project is to award a contract for construction
engineering services. While we would normally utilize a firm with which we have previous experience,
the use of federal funds through the grant program requires us to go through a formal request for
qualifications (RFQ) process. The RFQ process is similar to a formal RFP, except the actual cost of the
services is not allowed to be factored into the selection process. The City will accept proposals, review
them based solely on the qualification and experience of the firms, and choose a firm. At that time, the
City is allowed to negotiate with the firm on price of the service and accept the contract, or reject the
firm and choose a different firm.
The RFQ is attached. It is a standard RFQ and has been reviewed by Attorney Orr and Director
Dhuse. If approved, proposals will be solicited from area firms and open to any firm. The deadline for
proposals will be July 1. Review of the proposals will be conducted the following week and we expect a
formal recommendation for a firm and contract to be presented to the Public Works Committee in July.
The final piece of land acquisition for the project is ongoing with ComEd, but expected to be
resolved by August With that timeline and the RFQ timeline, we anticipate an IDOT bidding process
for construction of the project to occur in Fall, with a probable construction commencement in Spring
2017.
Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of the attached RFQ.

PROJECT APPROACH
HR Green understands that the City is seeking a prequalified
engineering consultant to provide Phase III Construction
Engineering Services for the Kennedy Road Shared Use
Path project. HR Green understands that the project will
be funded primarily through ITEP funds (Federal) as well as
through City funding. The construction of the 16,100 foot
path along Kennedy Road from Il Route 47 to the Steven
G Bridge Park contains many challenging and interesting
features that HR Green is well adept to managing so as to
deliver this project for the City within the designed schedule
and budget.
Being an established United City of Yorkville business, with
an office within a half mile of the project, we know that the
development and funding for this project has been a top
priority for the City after the fatal accident that occurred in
July 2009. The journey to secure funding for this project
has involved many agencies and non-profit groups including
the Push for the Path organization that was committed to
seeing this project come to creation. With a significant
portion of the funding being secured through federal ITEP
funds, the services provided by the selected Construction
Engineering firm will be more detailed and require significant
coordination with the District 3 IDOT office in Ottawa, IL
which will be administering the overall contract.
Our assembled team of locally available staff has experience
with all of the challenges and features required for the
successful administration and oversight of this federally
funded project. This includes expertise managing project
of similar size and scope including local projects with
multi-use paths; projects with IDOT coordination, federal/
state documentation requirements, railroad coordination,
utility coordination, erosion control and NPDES requirements,
subgrade work, storm sewer and drainage improvements,
and work within a corridor lined with a mixture of residential,
commercial, educational, and recreational facilities.
A project of this size, scope, and complexity will require
an inspection staff with technical expertise in a variety of
construction disciplines to be proactive in anticipating and
resolving specific construction challenges that this project will
exhibit. Specific challenges that may develop as part of this
project include:
INTRA-GOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION (IDOT)
As this project includes federal funding and will be let for
bid on the November 2016 State of Illinois letting, active
and timely coordination with IDOT will be paramount to the
overall success of the project. With federal funds being
utilized for this project, coordination with IDOT regarding
pay estimates, change orders, providing accurate and
precise documentation of work completed, and obtaining all
material certifications per IDOT’s Project Procedures Guide
will be critical to protecting the financial investment of the
City. HR Green’s project team proposed all have extensive
experience working with and for IDOT District 3 and will
utilize their professional relationships with the IDOT staff to
deliver the project to IDOT, FHWA, and the City standards
and expectations.
RAILROAD COORDINATION & CONSTRUCTION
Per the contract drawings, the proposed multi-us path will
cross the BNSF tracks near the Steven G. Bridge Park. In
reviewing the plans, it appears that the work at the crossing
will be done by others but work adjacent to the BNSF by
this project’s contractor will require coordination on the
part of the Resident Engineer and his staff. Any work that
is near or adjacent to a Railroad requires the contractor
to obtain Railroad Liability Insurance PRIOR to any work
beginning within 50FT of the railroad ROW. Obtaining this
important insurance document can be a lengthy and drawn
out approval process with the railroad. Early and active
communication with the contractor, railroad, and IDOT will be
imperative to securing this insurance prior to work beginning
so as to negate any possible impacts to the overall project
schedule. Additionally, the contactor and Resident Engineer
staff will need to coordinate with the BNSF to obtain flaggers
when work is near the railroad property. The costs for these
flaggers are borne by the project on a time-and-material
basis and it will be important that the entire team works
together to be efficient as possible with the work around the
railroad in an effort to reduce the overall costs associated
with the flagger requirement. HR Green’s team has
coordinated this type of work with several different railroads
including the BNSF, and we understand the urgency and
importance that coordination with the BNSF is for the overall
success of the project.

United City of Yorkville, Illinois
UTILITY AND PERMITTING AGENCY
COORDINATION
In reviewing the plans and visiting the site it is evident that
coordination with private utility companies will be required
with this project. The scope of work this project entails
provides some flexibility to avoid known utilities but it will
be imperative that the Resident Engineer be proactive
in communicating with the individual utility company
representatives and also look forward on the project to
identify any potential impacts current facilities may have
on the construction of the path and to develop solutions
to minimize or avoid any issues with the overall project
progress. Additionally, due to the extensive earthwork
proposed due to construction of the multi-use path, work
will be conducted under an NPDES permit and will require
vigilance on the part of the Resident Engineer’s staff to
work with the contractor to maintain proper and functioning
erosion control measures per the permit requirements. Our
staff is familiar with the NPDES requirements of performing
weekly inspections of all erosion control measures or when
0.5” of rain has fallen. We will also maintain a working
document of the erosion control plans and update them
whenever changes are made to the original contract
documents and will provide these plans in an area of the field
office where they can be easily viewed by the public, IEPA
inspectors, or anyone interested in knowing what measures
that have been implemented. Our staff will work with the
contractor to install permanent landscape items immediately
upon their completion and not allow the contractor to wait
until the entire path is constructed. If a portion is complete,
permanent landscaping measures will be scheduled so as to
limit the opportunity for erosion to develop in these areas.
COMMUNITY OUTREACH
The project location is within an area that is surrounded by
significant residential development, golf course, educational
facilities, and commercial properties. Maintaining
consistent and accurate communications with these entities
(Stakeholders) will be an important component to creating
a working relationship within the project corridor to provide
the avenue for quick responses to any concerns and/or
questions that may arise. Additionally, with the support and
intimate involvement from several local organizations (Push
for the Path) for this project, it will be important to keep
them abreast of project progress. HR Green’s proposed
staff has worked on several urban projects which involved
coordination with many different stakeholders and our staff
could provide these unmatched and intangible services if so
desired by the City.
WORKING WITHIN RIGHT OF WAY CONSTRAINTS
AND WITHIN PRIVATE EASEMENTS
With the small amount of Right-of-Way that is allowed for
construction of this project, along with the need to utilize
private easements in some areas, it is important that the
contractor confines work and equipment within the right-
of-way and easements. HR Green construction engineers
are very familiar with administering this requirement to the
contractors, and are experienced in obtaining additional
temporary easements from property owners when necessary
during construction. It will be important that the contractor
confine his work to within the property limits provided and to
not impact adjacent properties. It will be important that the
Resident Engineer and his staff work with the contractor so
his staff is diligent in containing all work within the allowable
limits.
Every construction project has its own unique and specific
engineering plans and specifications, construction oversight
personnel, and existing conditions governing the site. HR
Green has the ability to create a “team” with the client,
contractor, private entities, and other project stakeholders
for each individual project HR Green undertakes. This team
approach creates a unified vision allowing the project to be
completed efficiently, meeting the project schedule, and
maintaining the overall project budget. Our ability to foster
a team relationship on this project is unmatched given our
Resident Engineer’s past work experiences as well as his
professional relationships with the IDOT District #3 staff.
In addition to the services that would typically be expected
of a construction engineering team (i.e. observation and
documentation of contractor’s work efforts, submitting of
HR Green feels that coordination with other state agencies, local public
officials, local emergency responders, the Burlington Northern Santa
Fe Railroad, Park Districts, and providing effective coordination
of private utilities will be the keys to a successful project.

HR Green feels that coordination with other state agencies
(IEPA), local public officials, local emergency responders, the
Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad, Park Districts, and
providing effective coordination of private utilities will be the
keys to a successful project. HR Green will pair its sound
construction engineering expertise with a willingness to
coordinate with the aforementioned parties in order to deliver
a successful project.
CONSTRUCTION ENGINEERING SERVICES
HR Green believes in a thorough understanding and review of
the plans and contract documents is essential to minimizing
cost overruns and untimely delays. If so desired by the
City, HR Green will perform a constructability review of the
contract documents, including reviews of the plan quantity
calculations for large unit price items, to verify that sufficient
quantities are present in the contract bid documents to
construct the project without costly budgetary overruns. If
constructability reviews are desired by IDOT, they will be
conducted under the direction of HR Green’s construction
Project Manager, Mr. Matthew Jereb, PE. Mr. Jereb’s
extensive construction and management experience will
be vital to ensuring the most cost-effective review of the
plans and contract documents is completed. Additionally,
Mr. Jereb will closely monitor the progress on the project
and will be available to discuss contractor schedule and
operations daily with the City’s Public Work’s staff and the
IDOT’s Area Construction Supervisor. With over 20+ years
of engineering expertise and being a former IDOT Bureau
Chief of Construction and IDOT District #3 employee, Mr.
Jereb will be bring his vast technical knowledge of IDOT
documentation and procedural requirements, as well as his
relationships with the IDOT staff to this project.
The proposed Resident Engineer, Mr. Kevin Berry, PE,
will be in-charge of all staff and field inspection operations
and management to confirm that the work is being
completed in accordance with the Standard Specifications
for Road and Bridge Construction, the plans and the
Special Provisions. Contract compliance will be done with
respect to quantity documentation, material certification,
EEO requirements, and preparation of payment estimates
and change orders. Each payment estimate and change
order submitted to IDOT will verify that the materials and
procedures used to complete the work were in accordance
with the Project Procedures Guide for each pay item. HR
Green understands that we are not authorized to revise,
delete or change the contract provisions. When contract,
plan or specification changes are anticipated, HR Green will
coordinate with the IDOT Construction Area Supervisor to
obtain prior approval regarding recommended changes.
The staff proposed for this project has the exact experience
specific to meeting the project’s major challenges. A primary
challenge will be to help administer the contract to achieve
timely completion. It will be imperative that the contractor’s
progress schedule is analyzed in detail before it is approved,
and that it is updated when it becomes out of phase. Any
contractor proposed changes must be evaluated as could
potentially impact overall project schedules and costs.
Workable and Working days will be charged, as appropriate,
so that any later request for an extension of time can be
properly analyzed and a proactive approach can be taken
so that the job is finished on time, regardless of adverse
weather conditions. Efficient construction methods will be
recommended and we will suggest techniques to promote
timely and complete fulfillment of pay items, so that long
punch-lists can be avoided. Detailed records will be kept to
make sure the contractor is performing operations in proper
sequence to keep the job progressing. It will be critical in this
regard, for the contractor to submit a daily schedule in order
that the inspection team can schedule layout verification and
material testing so that pay item work can be witnessed for
compliance with specifications and documented for payment.
CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTATION
Documentation of the contractor’s daily activities is an
important and vital function for timely close-out of the project
and subsequent acceptance of the improvements by the
City and IDOT. Complete and accurate documentation is
necessary for contractor payment, project acceptance and
closure. The following is a brief list of activities required for
proper documentation:
HR Green will maintain a daily diary in accordance with IDOT
documentation requirements. The diary will include, but
not be limited to: weather conditions, workable days, the
contractor and subcontractor’s various operations for
| 7

the day, number of employees working on each operation,
accidents, injuries, arrival and departure of major equipment,
official visitors and directions given to contractor or
subcontractor.
In addition to the diary, important records will be maintained
as follows:
▪Acceptance/Testing/Monitoring Log.
▪Force Account documentation as necessary.
▪Inspectors Daily Reports.
▪Weekly progress reports.
▪Accurate and up-to-date quantity book.
▪Engineer’s Payment Estimates.

HR Green understands the importance of efficient closeout
and field staff will assist the Resident Engineer in coordinating
with the contractor to agree to final quantities and prepare
the Final Payment Estimate. All calculations, measurements
and final contract documents related to the project are to
be indexed, boxed and archived. HR Green will provide
measurements and quantity calculations in accordance
with standard IDOT practices described in the Construction
Manual and will perform all project documentation on ICORS.
In addition to our experience with IDOT record keeping
procedures, HR Green relies on its own project QC/QA
processes, which will aid in assuring that the final project
documentation is be completed within six (6) weeks of
completion of the punch-list.
The assembled team has a broad resume in providing
resident engineering and inspection on IDOT projects.
Proposed members have specific experience with all of the
challenging elements that this project puts forth. We believe
the City will find the experience of the project staff to be
well suited to perform the Phase III services solicited for this
project.
QUALITY ASSURANCE MATERIALS TESTING
Monitoring and testing of the all materials incorporated
into the project by the contractor is vital to ensuring a long
lasting, quality built project that will serve the Yorkville
community for years to come. HR Green has teamed with
Rubino Engineering to perform all Quality Assurance Testing
for the project. We understand that the contractor will be
ultimately responsible for providing daily testing but to provide
a “check and balance” system of their testing procedures,
Rubino will conduct at least 20% side-by-side testing to
confirm acceptance of the material. If so needed, Rubino
Engineering’s technical skills may also be utilized to evaluate
subgrade and earthwork stability if an area is identified by the
HR Green field staff as an area of needed remedial action.
Rubino Engineering technicians know the staff at the IDOT
Bureau of Materials and know exactly what type of tests and
documentation is required for the acceptance of the project
by the Department.
HR Green and Rubino Engineering have a close working
relationship and have successfully completed many federally
funded projects in the past. Our entire staffs are familiar
with each other and this familiarity creates an unmatched
efficiency for our projects and ultimately for our clients.

SIMILAR PROJECT EXPERIENCE
ANDERSON ROAD EXTENSION PHASE III | KANE
COUNTY DOT
The Anderson Road Extension
is a new two-lane, expandable
to four-lane roadway that links
Illinois Route 38 to Keslinger
Road in Kane County. The
project provides a key north-south
transportation link for vehicular
access to the newly constructed
Metra commuter station in Elburn
and relieves congestion along
Illinois Route 47 by providing a
grade separation option over the
railroad tracks along one of the
most heavily traveled roadways in
the region. The new roadway is
approximately 2 miles long and
provides a signalized intersection at
Keslinger Road.
The project includes a three span,
500 foot-long overpass to carry
the Anderson Road extension
over three main line tracks of the
UPRR and nine Metra coach yard
tracks. The bridges consist of
twin composite concrete decks
on ten 58-inch-deep plate girders
on a concrete substructure
widened for future expansion. The
roadway is a curb and gutter lined
two-lane separated full depth HMA
roadway expandable to four-lanes
of pavement. The project also
incorporates a multi-use path from
end-to-end linking commuters and local residents to the
newly constructed Metra station.
This project was let through the Illinois Department of
Transportation (IDOT), District 1. HR Green performed
Construction Engineering services assuring that the
project was constructed in accordance with the Standard
Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction, IDOT
Highway Standards, approved plans and special provisions.
HR Green had all traffic control be in compliance with the
Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices and the traffic
control standards. With three large detention basins used
as sources for the embankment and the north portion of
the project adjacent to a wetland, HR Green coordinated
and was compliant with the issued NOI, the specifications
and requirements of the implemented NPDES permit, and
SWPPP plan, while satisfying routine inspections from the
KDSWCD.
INDIAN TRAIL OVER THE FOX RIVER | CITY OF
AURORA, IL
HR Green provided Phase I and Phase II engineering for this
project starting in early 2010. Extensive coordination with
the Illinois Department of Natural Resources and Army Corps
of Engineers led to a detailed, two-season construction
schedule to accommodate fish spawning season restrictions
and maximum impact areas for each phase of construction
resulting from in-stream work required for cofferdams
serving the substructure widening. Both AT&T and ComEd
utilities being attached to the existing bridges along with the
BNSF Railroad being located within the project limits further
complicated design. It was also determined that the project
site contained contaminated soils and asbestos conduit to be
managed during construction.
Phase III services began in 2014. The construction
management staff coordinated public outreach via a project
website, meetings, and media campaigns. The bridges
were closed for several months at a time with posted
detour routes, which resulted in frequent communication
with concerned local businesses and commuters. HR

Phase III Engineering Services – Kennedy Road Shared Use Path
United City of Yorkville, Illinois
MILLER ROAD BRIDGE OVER THE FOX RIVER |
MCHENRY COUNTY DOT
HR Green provided Phase
III resident engineering and
construction inspection services
on behalf of McHenry County
Division of Transportation for
$11.9 million in improvements
to Charles J. Miller Road. Miller
Road improvements will be
completed in two stages. Stage
I of the project was completed
in October of 2013 and Stage II
is anticipated to be completed
in 2015. Stage I improvements
consist of the reconstruction of
Charles Miller Road from just East
of Green Street to River Road.
This project consists of widening
of Miller Road from a three lane
cross section to a four lane cross
section including turn lanes at
River Road, Conservation Drive,
and McHenry Avenue, new traffic
signals at the River Road replacing
the existing temporary traffic
signals, construction of a new
660’ two lane steel bridge north
of the existing bridge, installation of approximately 5600’ of
storm sewer, curb and gutter, and landscaping/pavement
markings/signage.
This bridge component of the project required a significant
amount of coordination with the IDNR, the Corps of
Engineers, the McHenry County Stormwater Management
Department, Fox River Waterway Agency and McHenry
Lake County Soil and Water Conservation District. This
coordination was required for erosion control purposes,
dewatering, and construction of the causeway within the Fox
River and for the full river closures when the center spans of
the structural steel were installed.
HR Green assisted with the relocation efforts of Nicor,
ComEd, Comcast, and ATT by identifying possible conflicts
and then field staking locations of new appurtenances to
provide the utility companies with a visual reference of
the proposed improvements to ensure utility facilities be
relocated clear of the Charles Miller Road improvements.
HR Green assisted McHenry County DOT with a stakeholder
outreach program for the project. HR Green knocked on
doors of businesses and residences providing a project
overview, which included a description of Phase I of the
project, project location, project description, proposed
improvements, Charles Miller Road website address,
frequently asked questions and project contract information
including cell phone numbers and email addresses for the
HR Green Project Manager and Resident Engineer. HR
Green also has meet with all the business in the corridor to
discuss how the project will affect the businesses project and
to project contact information to the business so they have
a dedicated person to contact if they have any construction
related questions. HR Green created a project website
for interested parties to provide residents a forum to ask
questions, receive e-mail construction updates, view project
maps and view the construction progress via job photos.
This federally funded (CMAQ) project was let through the
Illinois Department of Transportation and required that all
Phase III inspection to be documented on the State quantity
tracking software, ICORS. All evidence of material inspection
was in accordance with the IDOT Project Procedures Guide
prior to issuing payment. Stage 1 of the project was
completed in October of 2013.

PROJECT APPROACH & UNDERSTANDING
Alfred Benesch & Company (Benesch) is excited to
submit this Statement of Interest to provide professional
construction engineering services for the Construction
of a new shared use path along Kennedy Road from IL
Route 47 to the Steven G. Bridge Park for the United
City of Yorkville. We have assembled a team specifically
tailored to tackle the challenges on this project, bringing
you the following benefits, setting us apart as the "go-to"
construction team to deliver this project on time and
within budget:
A SEASONED CONSTRUCTION TEAM
Benesch has assembled a team of professionals with
valuable construction management experience on
local roads projects. We have successfully managed
construction on projects of all types and sizes, giving
our team the depth of knowledge to deliver a project as
efficiently as possible.
Our proposed Resident Engineer, Thomas Carrato, PE,
has worked with the City of St. Charles, the Village of
Schaumburg, the City of Evanston as well as Loyola
University, to deliver quality work on time and within
budget. His valuable communication skills and knowledge,
matched with Benesch’s wide range of project experience,
makes us the team to deliver this project for you.
Lending project support to Mr. Carrato will be Project
Manager David Cuthbertson, PE, who has over 23
years of experience in the industry and has successfully
delivered a number of projects varying in size and scope
for many agencies across Chicagoland. He brings extensive
experience managing everything from schedule to
maintenance-of-traffic plans.
A STRONG WORKING RELATIONSHIP WITH IDOT
Our team has worked on numerous IDOT and Local
Roads projects. We have an in-depth knowledge of IDOT
policies and procedures that will help keep your project
on track. Our team is trained in the use of ICORS and
many of our key staff maintain current certificates in
IDOT’s Documentation of Contract Quantities. Our
subconsultant, Material Solutions Laboratory Corporation
(MSL), is well qualified in Quality Assurance testing
of HMA mixtures having served as IDOT’s Quality
Assurance Manager and Laboratory on numerous
roadway projects throughout the Chicago Metro area.
PROACTIVE COORDINATION
We understand that communication is key to the success of
this project. With communication our team uses a hands-on
approach to ensure the needs of every impacted stakeholder
are heard and responded to. Our team will apply their utility
coordination skills to maintain daily maintenance-of-traffic
planning for lane closures. Benesch knows how to maintain
mobility safely and effectively for this project through past
experiences from similar projects.
KEYS TO SUCCESS:
Benesch has visited the project site, understands the scope
of work and has identified the following keys to success, as
well as our approach, to deliver:
Maintenance-of-Traffic: Unique to this project are the
varying widths of pavement through the work area.
Construction crews will be working in various locations
and at varying rates. This will result in frequent changes
to the MOT standards necessary to complete the work. At
times this can lead to driver confusion and irritation. The
use of temporary informational signs may be necessary
to keep motorists informed. To help facilitate the flow of
traffic through the work zone, the Benesch Team will review
the maintenance-of-traffic plans and monitor traffic control
devices daily to ensure effectiveness. A neat and orderly site
along with proper use of flaggers will ease driver frustration
naturally caused by traversing construction zones.
Utility Coordination: It will be important to establish
the utility status early on because relocations can cause
significant delays. Several pedestals and power poles
require relocation. We will be proactive in our approach to
coordinating utility relocations by holding periodic review
meetings with utility companies and project staff. We will be
clear in stating the project objectives and will provide any
support necessary for the relocation work to be done within
the 90 days allowed by law.
Coordination with Residents: We want to be good
“neighbors” and address any concerns that impacted
residents may have, while serving the best interests of the
City. We will initiate access coordination with the contractor
and handle any resident issues in a personalized, hands-on
manner. Communication will be a top priority with the
City, the contractor and impacted residents.
City of Yorkville | Shared Use Path CM | 11
PROJECT APPROACH & UNDERSTANDING
ADA Compliance: The plans call for all sidewalk ramps to
be in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act
(ADA). Our team of engineers is knowledgeable in ADA,
has proven success meeting requirements and will work
closely with the contractor to ensure compliance.
Railroad Coordination: The BNSF rail line passes through
the project site. Coordination with the railroad will be
especially important as this is an active line not only for
freight but also Amtrak. Our team will be certified by the
railroad to work within its right-of-way. Benesch brings a
solid working relationship with the BNSF.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
We will provide the necessary staff to review, observe,
monitor and document the contractor’s progress on
the project from the start of field operations to final
completion. All work will be performed according to
the general industry engineering standards established
by IDOT. We understand we are expected to perform
complete construction inspection services in accordance
with, but not limited to, the following general task areas:

Key Issues
• Coordination with ISTHA contractor within
their work zone
• Salvaging existing blocks for incorporation
into the new wall
Background: As part of the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority Capital
Improvement Plan, Meacham Road was reconstructed and widened. This project
afforded the Village of Schaumburg an opportunity to rehabilitate the existing
retaining wall and reconstruct the bike path along Meacham Road.
Scope: Benesch provided construction engineering services during the
construction of improvements. These services included reviewing contract
documents, tracking the contractor’s progress, documentation of contract
quantities and preparation of as-built drawings.
Unique Features: This project required close coordination with ISTHA and its
contractor in order to complete the improvements. Although the Tollway project
suffered delays, the two teams worked together in order for the bike path project
to reach substantial completion by late fall.
The contract documents specified the contractor was to salvage and re-use as
many of the existing blocks as possible in the new retaining wall. Because the
new wall was being installed in essentially the same location as the existing, the
contractor was required to dismantle the entire existing wall and store it on site
for later use.

Key Issues
• Phase I, II, III services
• Proactive coordination with IDOT and CDOT
in order to move forward with expedited
schedule
• Concurrent execution of Phases I & II
• Multimodal project site including pedestrian,
bicyclist and public transit
• Develop landscape/streetscape design plans
for new pedestrian plaza
Background: Sheridan Road at the Loyola University campus CTA stop
accommodates more than 4,000 pedestrians per day, along with high volumes
of vehicular and bus traffic. The mid-block traffic signal at the CTA viaduct has
limited sight distance and is less than 150 feet from the adjacent Loyola Avenue
intersection traffic signal. The University has been working with CTA and the City
of Chicago for several years to develop potential solutions and funding to improve
safety and traffic flow.
Scope: The Benesch Team completed the necessary Phase I engineering
studies, landscape plaza design and final contract plans within a 3-month time
frame. Phase III included CM services for traffic signal modernization; ADA
and pedestrian upgrades, including improved crosswalks and ADA compliant
sidewalk ramps; a new pedestrian plaza with decorative sidewalk, ornamental
lighting and landscaping; and a new access driveway with permeable concrete.
The $1,000,000 project includes decorative sidewalk planters with irrigation and
ornamental lighting along Sheridan Road and modernizing the Sheridan Road/
Loyola Avenue traffic signal along with improved crosswalks, ADA compliant
sidewalk ramps and the elimination of the pedestrian crossing traffic signal
immediately north of the CTA viaduct. A new pedestrian plaza with decorative
sidewalk, ornamental lighting and landscaping was designed to create a sense
of place, utilizing sustainable design practices; all stormwater will be channeled
to rain gardens and landscaped areas. A new access driveway with permeable
concrete was also designed to eliminate the need for storm sewer for the project.
The sidewalk planters and plaza were designed to channel pedestrians to the
Loyola Avenue intersection in a creative and aesthetically pleasing manner.
Unique Features: Benesch utilized video camera-based data collection to capture
and analyze the high pedestrian volumes and platooning. Sustainable design
practices and computer renderings were utilized to design the pedestrian plaza
and landscaping. Continual coordination with IDOT and the City were necessary
to move both Phase I and Phase II services in parallel.

completion date for the construction of the improvements to lessen the impact on sch ool bus traffic, students, and parents (unless
otherwise directed by the City).
The anticipated construction activities to complete the proposed improvements to the Kennedy Road corridor include:
Erosion/sediment control installation
Right-of-way grading (cut/fill operations)
Geotechnical fabric/ground stabilization
Storm sewer rerouting
Fire hydrant relocation
Removing/replacing concrete curb/gutter
Removing/replacing concrete sidewalk
Removing/replacing driveways
Tree planting
Accessible ramp installations per ADA/PROWAG
Installing new thermoplastic pavement markings
HMA shared use path installation
In the following pages we will continue to detail our understanding of the project, approach, and provide qualifications of the firm
and our proposed staff.
Don Ryba, PE, will serve as
the Resident Engineer for
this project. He will oversee
the construction quality of
the shared use path
improvements, document
the work, and communicate
activities and
progress to
stakeholders.

SECTION II: PROJECT UNDERSTANDING AND APPROACH
Critical Project Components
Our team walked the project site on June 26, 2016, to gain a better understanding of potential challenges. Photographs,
notes, and recommendations were recorded. W e feel the following items are important to consider and/or are critical to
the successful construction of the improvements:
Illinois Transportation Enhancement Program (ITEP) Funding
The ITEP provides funding for community-based projects that expand travel choices and enhance the
transportation experience. The proposed improvements qualify for an 80/20 federal/local split . Complying with
federal requirements will be of the utmost importance to maintain this split. Like other federally-funded projects,
this will include usage of and/or adherence to:
- IDOT Project Procedures Guide
- ICORS Quantity Tracking
- MISTIC Material Tracking
- Material QA/QC per IDOT standards
- Extra Work Prior Authorizations from IDOT
- Invoicing with IDOT forms/certified timesheets
Our construction engineers regularly provide documentation and submittals according to these procedures,
most recently for projects in the Counties of DuPage and Kane, Cities of Naperville, Lockport, Crystal Lake,
Woodstock, and Evanston, and the Village of Arlington Heights.
Utility Coordination
While major utility relocation is not anticipated, there are utility pedestals and power poles to be relocated by
others. In addition, existing fire hydrants and street lights may be in the way of the proposed path and require
relocation. HLR’s engineers have extensive experience coordinating with private and public agencies to ensure
that necessary utility relocations are identified ahead of time and resolved to prevent schedule and budget
impacts.
Earthwork Activities
The project will include over 4,000 cubic yards of earthwork activities. We will coordinate regarding offsite
Clean Construction or Demolition Debris (CCDD) haul-off. Rubino Engineering will ensure that proper
compaction testing is performed on embankment to avoid future path settlement issues and assist with
identifying potential unsuitable material areas where undercutting may be required.
Traffic Control and Public Safety
A variety of methods will be used to safely accommodate vehicular traffic on Kennedy Road (4,250 average
vehicles per day) as well as pedestrians, bicyclists, school and park attendees, and the construction team. The
Maintenance of Traffic (MOT) Plan will be prepared and closely followed and include changeable message
boards, arrow boards and temporary lane closures. In addition, reduced speed limits, temporary sidewalk
ramps and closure signs, flaggers, and barricades will be necessary. All lane closures will be called into the
Public Works/Engineering Department, Fire Department, and Police Department in advance. This approach
will ensure that first responders will be able to travel unimpeded throughout the construction zone and access
all neighboring areas.
Resident Satisfaction
HLR will keep in mind the specifics involved with each and every
property within the project limits. Special attention will be paid to
trees, plantings, mailboxes, existing landscaping, and driveways, all
of which may be affected by construction. It will be of the utmost
importance to not impact any of these appurtenances or replace in
kind. Extensive resident coordination will also be key in keeping the
community aware of upcoming construction tasks. This can be
accomplished via a neighborhood kick-off meeting, door-to-door
introductions by the Resident Engineer, 24-hour contact
information, flyers/social media posts as required, and any
additional methods the City desires.
Hampton, Lenzini and Renwick, Inc. | 7
SECTION II: PROJECT UNDERSTANDING AND APPROACH
Critical Project Components (continued)
Railroad Coordination
The Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) railroad passes through the project limits with the proposed shared
use path crossing the tracks near the north end of the project. The plans mention that the crossing will be
completed by others. If work will occur within 50’ of the tracks in either direction, railroad right-of-entry approval
will be required along with railroad flaggers. HLR has coordinated this type of work on previous projects and
knows how it can potentially delay project schedules due to railroad approval times. W e recommend starting
coordination for this as soon as possible.
Tree Protection/Removal
There are trees within the right-of-way that will require protection or removal to accommodate the new path.
Our team will work with the City to discuss desired tree protection measures and ways to save existing trees
that are within the proposed path alignment. Keeping residents informed of the protection and removal process
will also be essential. Our team has experience answering questions regarding this sensitive issue and
understands how to explain the overall benefits of a project to avoid resident disapproval and complaints.
Erosion and Sediment Control
Each member of our proposed team is IDOT-certified in erosion and sediment control. Best management
practices and the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) will be monitored at all times of construction,
especially during tree removal and earthwork/embankment activities. Proposed control devices include
perimeter erosion barrier, inlet/pipe protection, and topsoil seeding/fertilizer/mulch. Our team will ensure
NPDES compliance and complete necessary NOI/ION/NOT documentation because the project will disturb
over one acre of land.
ADA/PROWAG Compliance
It is important that the design and construction of accessible ramps
and pathways is overseen by a team with experience and familiarity
with ADA/PROWAG requirements in order to ensure compliance.
Otherwise rework, corrections, or removal/ replacement may be
required, possibly leading to cost disputes.
Scott Rodseth, PE, leads HLR’s accessibility efforts as he has
personally designed and overseen construction of
over 1,000 ramps in his career. Our team is IDOT
ADA/PROWAG and electronic Smart Level trained.
We have also created accessible check sheets to
catch common mistakes and to verify that ramps
are built with proper slopes and dimensions during
construction.
Hampton, Lenzini and Renwick, Inc. | 8
SECTION II: PROJECT UNDERSTANDING AND APPROACH
Project Approach/Methodology
The construction process is a complex undertaking comprised of many
details and coordination challenges. We will work as an extension of the
City’s staff throughout the improvements to achieve your goals and
objectives. To deliver projects safely, under budget, and to the highest
quality, HLR’s engineers implement the following approach:
Communication: Effective communication and coordination with all stakeholders on a project is where HLR shines.
Whether it’s a pre-construction meeting with the City or personal meetings with affected residents, our staff will make
distribution of information a priority at all times. We will supply Yorkville staff with regular status updates via e-mail,
phone, or project reports (as desired). Our Resident Engineer will work with our marketing department and the City to
produce flyers, e-blasts, website updates, and/or social media posts to relay project info rmation in a clear, concise
manner without “engineering” terminology, which can be confusing to the general public. Our proposed Resident
Engineer (Don Ryba, 708-767-6805) will be available 24/7 to answer questions regarding the project. This information
will be distributed to residents via informational refrigerator magnets (if desired). He will make individual contact with
project stakeholders including, but not limited to, Grande Reserve Elementary School, Autumn Creek Elementary
School, Blackberry Oaks Golf Course, Yorkville engineering staff, Bristol Kendall Fire Protection District, Yorkville
Police, and local residents.
Constructibility: As an advocate for the City, we will maintain a positive relationship with the contractor. Our team will
implement a collaborative approach to construction scheduling, operations, and standard implementation while utilizing
existing relationships they have gained on similar projects. This allows for a “headache-free” construction process,
benefiting all involved parties.
Our engineers will work diligently to interpret the intent of the plans prior to construction tasks to catch any potential
discrepancies. This allows for issues to be remedied ahead of time. We routinely perform the following tasks to help
ensure that improvements are constructed in a timely manner and to the highest quality:
Detailed plan and quantity reviews
Pre-construction site visit
Construction layout checks
ADA compliance reviews
Material/equipment staging coordination
Documentation and calculation checks
Closing: Full-time, federally-funded construction observation of projects like this require extensive project
documentation and detailed closeout coordination with IDOT. Use of ICORS to log daily activities, generate reports,
and track quantities will be essential. Our Resident Engineer will organize all applicable documents and set up job
boxes during the pre-construction phase to allow for proper filing throughout the duration of construction. This
“Constant Closing” allows our staff to limit the amount of time required at the end of the project to track down necessary
forms/tickets/calculations, saving you on engineering fees.

SECTION II: PROJECT UNDERSTANDING AND APPROACH
Scope of Services
Below we have provided an outline which includes
our anticipated scope of work. These tasks are
based on the details of the RFQ, findings from our
site visit, and the successful experience of our team.
We look forward to collaborating with the United City
of Yorkville to fine-tune this approach to meet the
exact needs of the project.
Task 1: Communication (duration of project)
Public Relations – The following 24-hour contact information will be provided for motorists, pedestrians, schools, and
neighboring businesses to voice any concerns during construction:
Resident Engineer: Don Ryba, 708-767-6805, dryba@hlreng.com
Project Manager: Scott Rodseth, 224-828-2911, srodseth@hlreng.com
All project contact will be logged and regularly forwarded to the City. HLR will work with the City to identify a public notice
strategy as detailed in the C3 approach on the previous page.
Project Administration/Coordination – Our Project Manager will handle all project administration including contract preparation,
BC 775/776 forms, and invoicing per IDOT requirements with certified timesheets. Our Resident Engineer will continually
coordinate with all interested parties via pre-task meetings, follow-up correspondence, phone calls, etc. to prevent
construction-related issues. He will distribute project contact lists to stakeholders and provide notifications and coordination
regarding sidewalk closures, access maintenance, quantity upgrades, utility conflicts, permitting, and budget status.
Status Reports – The Resident Engineer will prepare weekly status reports that detail completed and upcoming contractor
activities and distribute them to the City and IDOT. These will include:
Digital photographs
Summary of activities
Quantity status and anticipated totals
Authorization and change order status
Task 2: Pre-Construction Services
Pre-Construction Meetings – Our engineers will attend two separate pre-construction meetings with:
City of Yorkville: HLR will discuss community outreach, utility coordination, safety and maintenance of traffic plans,
project goals, potential conflicts/issues, schedule, record drawing requirements, and contractor DBE utilization.
Affected entities, including but not limited to, Yorkville Public Works/Engineering, Police, and Fire Departments will
be invited to attend.
IDOT: HLR will attend and contribute to the IDOT-led pre-construction meeting (required due to ITEP-funding).
Utility Coordination – Comcast, AT&T, Nicor, and ComEd will be contacted to resolve any conflicts. Our engineers coordinate
and confirm these relocations prior to the start of improvements.
Plan and Quantity Review – Our team will perform a pre-construction site visit to identify any inconsistencies between the
plans and existing conditions. We will review the construction sequencing to determine whether multiple construction
operations can be performed concurrently, evaluate whether proposed work zones are in accordance with applicable
standards for the proposed construction operations, review the Maintenance of Traffic Plan for possible improvements, and
check quantities for accuracy. Any issues will be identified and prior authorizations will be processed through IDOT to secu re
additional funding (if required) so that impacts to the project schedule are avoided.
Our Commitment to You
HLR prides itself on customer service and does not pursue work that
we cannot complete in a timely and efficient manner. Our current
and future workload will neither interfere with nor limit us from
providing the City with the time and attention that is required for
this project. We will be able to start this project as soon as we
receive notice to proceed.

SECTION II: PROJECT UNDERSTANDING AND APPROACH
Task 2: Pre-Construction Services (continued)
Project Setup – HLR will organize all project files and perform shop drawing review. Rubino Engineering, Inc. will review and
comment on the contractor-submitted Quality Control Plans for Asphalt and Concrete production. Our team will review the
contractor’s proposed schedule and coordinate with IDOT to get the following items approved (as needed):
BDE 2290 Waste/Use Area Review Form
BDE 725 Traffic Control Authorization Request Form
BC 260A Subcontractor Approval Form
Verify Control Points – Our Survey Department will confirm that established benchmarks and horizontal/vertical control points
are accurate and properly reflected in the plans to ensure that layout issues and busts in alignment/elevation do not occur.
We will refresh/adjust base line, station marks, and benchmarks, if necessary.
Task 3: Construction Services
Construction Layout – The Resident Engineer and surveyors will provide line/grade assistance and construction layout for the
proposed improvements. This will also include extensive on-site coordination regarding accessible ramp design and layout.
Resident Engineering – HLR will provide full-time construction observation by a Resident Engineer with assistance by an
experienced Construction Engineer to verify that the improvements are constructed, recorded, and quantified in accordance
with the IDOT Project Procedures Guide and standards, City requirements, engineering plans, and construction documents.
This will include the rejection and non-payment of any work that is deficient or unsatisfactory in addition to informing the City
and IDOT immediately of poor quality work along with erosion and sediment control inspection.
Traffic Control and Site Cleanliness Monitoring – Our team will monitor all traffic control and signage for potential temporary
lane closures and overnight sidewalk closures. HLR will provide coordinatio n between contractors to ensure traffic control is
effectively maintained through and around all active work zones without conflict. IDOT Traffic Control Inspection Reports wi ll
be completed on a regular basis. In addition, our team will perform daily ch ecks that include inspection of site cleanliness to
ensure that construction dust is kept in check, all debris on driving surfaces is removed, bike paths/facilities are maintain ed,
and removed sidewalks are ramped with temporary aggregate or asphalt depend ing on the estimated time until they can be
replaced.
Documentation – HLR will prepare and submit all required pay estimates, change orders, records, and reports. Daily records
of contractor activities, Inspector Daily Reports, Weekly Reports, and Pay Estimates will be maintained throughout the
duration of construction. Both ICORS and MISTIC will be utilized to electronically track the improvements. Prior Authorizat ion
forms will be submitted to IDOT for any/all work that is encountered that requires budget changes. In addition, BC-635 Extra
Work Daily Report forms will be utilized to track any work that does not have an Agreed Unit Price. All documentation will b e
prepared by staff that is trained in IDOT’s Documentation of Contract Quantities (Clas s S-14) and ICORS. This will include
maintaining a set of working drawings during the construction process to allow for easy preparation/completion of record
drawings during post-construction.
Progress Meetings/Schedule Coordination – Our team will conduct weekly progress meetings and prepare/distribute minutes
to discuss project status and look ahead schedules. Periodic contractor punchlists will be distributed at these meetings to
expedite project closeout. If it is determined that the contractor has deviated from the approved project schedule, they will be
directed to resubmit a “catch up” schedule to ensure that the project completion date is not compromised. This will help
eliminate City and resident frustration caused by an absentee contractor on good-weather working days.
Safe Work Zone Monitoring – Our Project Manager and Resident Engineer will oversee and enforce OSHA safety regulations
for consultant and subconsultant staff. We will also provide guidance and assistance to the contractor to ensure that
regulations are followed while proper material/equipment staging, traffic control, and construction operations are performed.

SECTION II: PROJECT UNDERSTANDING AND APPROACH
Task 3: Construction Services (continued)
Material Testing and Yield Checks – HLR will schedule and coordinate with Rubino Engineering, Inc. to perform all QA/QC
testing of materials in accordance with IDOT policies. Our construction engineering staff will perform yield checks on all
materials. We will not recommend payment for material that has not been properly inspected and/or does not meet yield
check requirements. We will also check periodically with IDOT’s Bureau of Materials to confirm that the contractor has been
in contact to inform them of material placements.
Project QC/QA – HLR’s Quality Control and Quality Assurance (QC/QA) program is a key component to the successful
delivery of our construction engineering services. The QC/QA process eliminates errors and omissions, emphasizes
coordination, and limits the number of requests for information and change orders on a project. This program assures the
City of the following:
All documentation will be reviewed monthly, at a minimum, by the Project Manager to assure accuracy and
completeness.
The Project Manager will develop, coordinate, and continually update project and manpower scheduling through
project milestones and status reviews.
Project costs and quantities will be regularly reviewed by the Project Manager, and the approach will be modified if
required to ensure a successful project delivery.
On-Call Services – HLR’s Environmental and Survey Departments are an available resource for any concerns that may arise
throughout the course of the improvements.
Task 4: Post Construction Services
Final Inspection – HLR will present a punch list to the contractor with items requiring correction. After correction, we will
perform the final inspection with the contractor, IDOT, and City. Recommendation of final acceptance will occur only after a ll
deficient items have been fixed.
Record Drawings – We will prepare and submit hard copy and electronic record drawings that have all changes and additions
tagged by clouds and/or similar easy-to-see markings.
Final Agreement to Quantities – The Resident Engineer will agree to quantities with the contractor on a daily, weekly, and
monthly basis. This will eliminate disputes with the contractor during the final pay item measurement and quantity agreement.
Performance Evaluation/Meeting – Throughout the duration of construction HLR will record contractor performance and then
complete a contractor performance evaluation. Our team will conduct a post -construction meeting with all interested parties
to discuss lessons learned, ways to eliminate future problems, and overall project performance and budget, schedule, and
quality status.
Documentation Submittal – Our team will submit final pay estimates and change orders. In addition, we will assemble,
organize, and turn-in all project files, records, material testing and certifications, quantities, etc. per IDOT- and ITEP-funding
standards and City requirements. This includes continued coordination with City, IDOT, and MISTIC representatives until final
job box acceptance.
Project Closeout – We will close all permits and provide final project account and documentation items to the City. Our team
will work with Yorkville staff to provide all desired closeout documents.

Project Approach
Warrenville | Chicago | Champaign
Project Understanding
The United City of Yorkville desires to retain a consultant to perform Phase III construction engineering services for
the Kennedy Road Shared Use Path project between Illinois Route 47 and the Steven G. Bridge Park. The project
will primarily consist of the construction of approximately 16,100 feet of new shared used path ranging between 8
and 10 feet wide and involve earth excavation, curb and gutter removal and replacement, concrete sidewalk
removal and replacement, hot mix asphalt path, landscaping, signage, pavement markings, traffic control signing,
and all other incidental and collateral work necessary to complete the improvements. The projects will be utilizing
STP funds. The firm selected will be responsible for project management, material testing, documentation and
inspection services meeting all IDOT and STP requirements from the pre-construction meeting through
construction and project close out. The consultant that is selected must have extensive familiarity with IDOT and
federally funded project procedures to ensure this work meets expected deadlines and remains on schedule.
Innovative Approach
We have identified the following challenges, issues and potentially innovative and cost-effective approaches that
may be considered prior to and during the construction of these improvements.
1.Stakeholder Coordination and Communication – Effective coordination and communication is critical to
the success of any project. Weekly meetings will keep all project team members informed of the
construction progress, but it is equally important to keep property owners informed as well. There is the
potential use of door hangers for individual houses to inform residents and business owners of pending
activity that may impact them. ERA has also used periodic newsletters or a website link to inform property
owners of progress and any significant changes. Blogs, Twitter and e-alerts are also effective forms of
communication regarding unplanned construction activities.
2.Access and Safety – During a site visit, it was noted that Kennedy Road is home to Bristol Kendall Fire
Department Station 2. Advanced coordination, especially with this property, will be required to ensure
access is maintained and their day-to-day operations are minimally affected. Our Resident Engineers and
Inspectors may gather additional comments and concerns from stakeholders during construction as well.
3.Construction Staging – The construction staging of the project is vital to the success of this project.
Depending on the final design, a variety of staging scenarios will need to be coordinated between all
stakeholders. Considering the primary access for Grande Reserve Elementary School is located along
Kennedy Road, it may be beneficial to construct the path improvements near Freedom Place while school
is out of normal session.
4.Public Rights-of-Way Accessibility Guidelines (PROWAG) – Our Resident Engineers and Inspectors are
well-versed in PROWAG for accessible routes. Complying with these requirements for sidewalks and paths
can be difficult within established areas due to elevation constraints. We will verify existing and proposed
elevations in the field and make any necessary adjustments to ensure the new sidewalk best conforms to
these guidelines. Similar issues were experienced and addressed as part of the Illinois Prairie Path Geneva
Spur and Great Western Trial Project in West Chicago.

Project Schedule
It is our understanding that the United City of Yorkville anticipates selecting a consultant in early- to mid-July 2016.
The City will then work with the selected consultant to negotiate final scope and hours. The selected consultant
will prepare a draft construction engineering services agreement shortly thereafter so the City may forward to
Council for approval and include it with the Final PS&E submittal to IDOT for the November 2016 letting. Once the
project is let, the consultant will start their Phase III work with the preconstruction meeting. It is anticipated that
construction will begin in spring 2017. ERA has the staff and resources available to fully staff the project for the
duration of construction in order to meet these deadlines. If the project schedule or scope of services changes, we
have additional staff and resources available to accommodate the project. Our experience on similar assignments
and ability to shift staff and resources will contribute to the ultimate success of this project.

Project Understanding
The installation of the Kennedy Road Shared Use Path by the United City of Yorkville represents a major step in increasing
the mobility of the community while embracing the concept of sustainability and conservation. This pathway will allow
residents to safely connect and access neighborhoods and parks along the approximate 3-mile corridor using non-
motorized transportation. This particular Request for Qualifications for Phase III Engineering Services, Kennedy Road
Shared Use Path, provides for construction management and engineering for various types of construction as needed to
construct the Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) trail as well as any other identified work.
The TYLI team has significant experience in working for various Municipal and State agencies on Construction
Management in Illinois and can provide:
• Proven Phase III engineering experience on all types of construction projects, including maintenance and repair
• Specialized pavement and roadway knowledge to address technical challenges in both design and construction
• Understanding of the expectations to accommodate the citizens during the construction process
• Available experienced design engineering staff to assist in field evaluation of projects as well as in design changes for
constructability
• Illinois experience to carry out the work in accordance with the Illinois Department of Transportation Construction
Manual including forms and documentation for successful reimbursement.
Project Approach
TYLI is confident that the proposed team of highly qualified professionals possesses the knowledge and experience
necessary to provide the United City of Yorkville with the responsive and efficient execution of the required Phase III
construction engineering services. Members of the project team are currently serving the Illinois Tollway as part of the Elgin
O’Hare Western Access (EOWA) program. With portions of that program nearing completion at the end of the 2016
construction season, all the members of our experienced team will not be necessary to complete that project. Our proposed
team for the Kennedy Road Shared Use Path Phase III Engineering Services project includes members of the highly
experienced EOWA team.
TYLI’s proposed Project Manager, Mr. Bruce Bushnell, P.E., has over 30 years of experience performing roadway and
structural design and analysis, construction inspection, bridge inspection, and survey. For the past 13 years he has

allowed for successful project completion. Chris’ project experience includes serving as Resident Engineer for the Diversey
Parkway Sewer Improvement Project, and as Field Engineer for the Stearns Road and Dunham Road Kane County Division
of Transportation (KDOT) projects.
Mr. Kevin Whalen will serve as Materials Coordinator. He has 27 years of construction management, materials
coordinator, and field inspection experience, as well as previous material coordination and testing experience with road
construction contractors. He has worked on Metra, CDOT, IDOT, and Tollway projects. Recently, Kevin served as Material
Coordinator on the Tri-State Resurfacing and Elgin O’Hare Western Access projects. He will provide material support as
needed.
TYLI will function as an extension of the United City of Yorkville staff and will proactively manage this project by:
• Providing up front review by experienced personnel of project plans to resolve design or constructability issues
• Providing up front utility coordination as necessary to provide for timely relocation if needed.
• Identifying and resolving project issues quickly to prevent potential delays
• Reviewing & submitting of contractor lane closure requests to allow for accurate notification to the City for distribution
to the media
• Monitoring contractor-installed MOT control for compliance and safety with timely follow-up on traffic control and
protection deficiencies
• Ensuring all correspondence (submittals/RFI’s) is reviewed and responded to in a timely manner
• Maintaining effective communication between all parties throughout the project duration
• Ensuring that all work performed is in accordance with the Contract Documents and meet’s the quality standards of
IDOT and the City
• Monitoring contractor progress and budget with respect the approved schedule including contractor’s field production
rate versus rate shown in the approved schedule. As CM, proactively review contractor baseline and monthly update
schedules to mitigate delays and limit time extensions and as required develop strategies including accelerating work
activities and re-sequencing of work activities to meet the contract schedules.
• Preparing all required deliverables in full accordance with the approved procedures including proper documentation
of any deficiencies that have been resolved and closed out
• Anticipating each following phase of the work and communicating with the contractor on the planned approach
including their means and methods
• Complying with the IDOT processes and requirements and providing the required information in a timely manner
Scope of Services Review
The RFP documents have provided a very detailed list of Phase III Engineering scope items and tasks necessary for the
successful completion of the project. TYLI agrees with the scope as defined in the RFP documents, and has developed an
approach that proactively addresses these items throughout the duration of the project.
As an additional task for consideration, it is noted that under Construction Tasks, Item 13, the RFP requests construction
layout as needed by the consultant. On most projects, the contractor is required to provide construction layout services
and is paid for that work via the Supplemental Specifications and Recurring Special Provisions (Check Sheet #10). We
did not note this pay item in the Summary of Quantities. Use of the check sheet keeps the responsibility for scheduling
Kennedy Road Shared Use Path T.Y. Lin International
and establishing the necessary level of detail for work to be completed with the contractor. We recommend a surveyor
be available on the CM team to verify & reestablish the project control, and for verification of contractor layout. For that
reason, we have included, Sanchez & Associates, P.C. as a subconsultant on our team, to provide for any construction
layout needed for the project.
Project Challenges
Consistent with our belief that a proactive approach is necessary for successful completion of your project, we have
performed a ‘big picture’ review of the Pre-Final project plans provided. From past experience on many construction sites,
design issues and changed site conditions revised before bids are submitted will save significant amounts of administrative
time as well as construction funds. Continuing during the construction phase, we monitor conditions and raise issues early
to avoid impacts to the contractor’s production which result in potential delays and claims. We note the following areas of
potential concerns:
Railroad Coordination | The issue of railroad coordination is
extremely important and issues regarding the construction near
the railroad right of way always have the potential to introduce
significant delays and significant extra costs. We note from our
review of the plans that the limits of work at and near the railroad
tracks is not well defined nor is grading or drainage in this vicinity.
It has been our experience that work on the grade crossing between
the rails and for some distance outside of the rails (generally to the
limits of the Dynamic Train Envelope) are done by Railroad forces
and further work within this zone or otherwise on railroad property
comes with additional requirements for insurance and permitting
to be obtained by the contractor which can result in delays or
increased costs. We would recommend a detailed review of this
crossing and potential addition of a large scale detail to the plans
to more accurately depict what is intended and to assist in obtaining
a permit from the railroad to work on railroad right of way.
Additionally, the designers may wish to examine current required
practice for lighting at railroad crossings and determine if additional
lighting is required.
TYLI construction engineers have recently been involved in a similar
situation on IL 22 at the Metra Tracks adjacent to US 41 in Lake
County Illinois as well as constructed traffic signals and pedestrian
crosswalks in downtown Wilmette, Illinois at three local street
crossings of Green Bay Road at the Metra Union Pacific North Line
commuter service.
Utility Relocations | Next to railroad issues, utility relocations
and identification are the second largest potential for project
schedule delays and extra costs. The timely coordination with utility
companies for field locates as well as working with the various
companies to ensure that relocation or protection are provided when
necessary greatly enhances the chances for project success.
Drainage and Erosion Control | This project generally follows
a rural cross section roadway with open ditch drainage for the
majority of the route. Grading operations must be carefully
monitored to provide near constant drainage during the construction
of the subbase and embankment of the trial to avoid localized
Kennedy Road Shared Use Path T.Y. Lin International
flooding and sediment transport issues. We would also note that
an earthwork summary table was not provided in the Pre-Final
Plans which would be extremely helpful during construction. With a
portion of the path being constructed over an existing ditch, some
undercuts would be expected although no areas were identified
in the plan review. With the proposed alignment and grades and
limited drainage structures, positive drainage throughout the project
limits is a concern.
Erosion Control measures must be applied and maintained
simultaneously with grading operations to stop the unnecessary
transportation of silt to area waterways and ponds. This sustainable
practice will be well served by Resident Engineer Chris Gottlieb,
P.E., who is certified by IDOT as an Erosion and Sediment Control
Manager.
ADA Ramp Design | With recent lawsuits and consent decrees,
ADA ramp designs and the standardization of designs across Illinois
have become a significant issue. IDOT has made recent changes
to ramp standards and details to provide for a better crossing
experience and transition. The new requirements require additional
design efforts to make sure that ramp grades, sideslopes, curbs, and
tactile areas are in accurate compliance with the law. Leaving the
design of the ramps to the contractor in the field is not a desirable
practice and can lead to the incorrect installation and need to
remove and replace. We strongly recommend that the designer
provide additional information regarding the ramp designs on the
plans.
TYLI field personnel have supervised the installation of hundreds of
ADA ramp replacements in the City of Chicago through our work
in the Aldermanic Ward Construction programs and for IDOT and
municipalities on other construction projects. Our field engineers are
trained and capable of redesigning ramps in the field if necessary
and additional office staff is available for assistance.
Maintenance of Traffic | This project is being built adjacent to a two
lane rural cross section roadway. In some locations, the roadway
must be reduced to a single lane via flagging to allow safe work
areas and access for grading and paving. The contractor must be
held to the standards for signing, marking and flagging to avoid
work zone incidents and make the work zone as safe as possible for
residents and motorists.

admirably in both primary and support roles due to his varied background.
Construction Management Services for Citywide Construction Engineering Services,
Chicago, Illinois
Field Engineer for the City of Chicago Department of Transportation (CDOT) Citywide
Construction Engineering Services contract requiring construction management of various
streets and alley resurfacing, speed hump installation, sidewalk replacement, and curb and
gutter replacement projects. Chris provided oversight of ADA inspection and compliance
staff, reviewed and developed scopes for work related to CSR complaints, and oversaw
design of non-standard ADA corners for the program. This included verifying design
locations, assigning survey crews, and performing QA on all designs. Additionally, Chris
handled all technical issues involving compliance both during and post-construction.
2010 ADA Ramps on Vaulted Sidewalks Task Order, Chicago, Illinois
Chris served as Field Engineer providing engineering design services at 17 vaulted
sidewalk corners located in the central business district of the city. In an effort to improve
existing sidewalk ramps throughout the city to meet current ADA standards, TYLI provided
CDOT with contract documents for ADA sidewalk ramp improvements at each of the
designated vaulted sidewalk locations. The work entailed topographic survey of existing
conditions and a structural inspection of each vault located under the sidewalk. It was
determined that four locations required structural designs. At three locations it was
determined to eliminate the vaulted portion under the ramp by designing retaining walls to
seal off the existing vault under the sidewalk ramp and filling that portion under the ramp
sidewalk. At one location a portion of the existing roof slab required replacement due to
its poor condition. The civil portion of the design plans included ramp designs that met
current ADA requirements but minimized the impact to local business, pedestrian access
and motoring public.

CONSTRUCTION ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR THE CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT
MULTI-USE PATH
Lake Forest, Illinois
The construction of this 0.5 mile Central Business District Multi-Use Path will close a critical
gap in the Robert McClory Bike Path, a 26.5 mile path in Lake County Illinois. The Robert
McClory Bike Path begins in Highland Park, Illinois and extends north into Wisconsin,
where it continues on as the Kenosha County Bike Path. This major bikeway is also part of
the Illinois Department of Natural Resources’ Grand Illinois Trail.
The new multi-use path will provide a key connection to the Lake Forest Metra Station
which is a major hub in the City and region from a transit perspective as well as a central
location for community groups, jogging and bicycling clubs and community events.
The proposed shared use path will improve safety by separating the path users from
automobile traffic within the Metra Station parking lot which will reduce potential conflicts.
Relocating the path from within the parking lots will improve the visibility of path users
crossing Deerpath Road and Westminster Avenue. The implementation of the path will
improve the quality of these roadway crossings making use of traffic controls already in
place and familiar to drivers. Additionally, Lake Forest High School (0.6 miles away)
students use the City parking facilities located along the path, the separation of the shared
use path from the parking lots will greatly improve safety for students walking to school
from the parking lot.
Our construction engineering team included key personnel from the design phases to
ensure a seamless transition to ensure the project was constructed in accordance with
the Contract Documents while conforming to the IDOT construction procedures. The
construction engineering team brought key design insight and knowledge of private utility
relocation that occurred prior to construction.
As resident engineer, TYLI documented the quality and progress of the Contractor’s work
including performing pay item calculations, preparation of pay estimates and material
inspections. Active coordination with the City of Lake Forest was required to provide
progress updates, budget status and to manage impacts to the surrounding business and
residential community. The combination of our design and construction expertise is a great
example of how TYLI offered the City of Lake Forest our full service capabilities.

CONSTRUCTION ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR ILLINOIS ROUTE 22 AND THE SHARED
USE PATH ALONG IL 22
Bannockburn, Illinois
TYLI was selected by the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) to provide
Construction Engineering Services for the reconstruction and widening of Illinois Route
22 from Interstate 94 to US Route 41, in Lake County Illinois. Engineering services
included on-site inspection; review layout of contract, including design changes; on-site
quality assurance material testing; material acceptance; coordinating with communities
businesses, and local municipalities; contract administration, including pay estimates,
contract authorizations, and extra work documentation; and schedule monitoring.
The project was separated into two construction contracts. The first contract in 2010
consisted of removing trees, brush and fences as designated on contract plans. The
second contract was the roadway portion of the project that included reconstructing
approximately 1.2 miles Illinois 22 in the Village of Bannockburn from a two lane
section into a four lane divided section with left turns lanes from Interstate 94 to east
of Illinois 43. The new roadway was constructed with PCC jointed pavement which
included the intersection at Illinois 22 and Illinois 43. This portion of the project
also included construction of an HMA 10-foot wide Shared Use Path from I-294 to
Illinois 43. Adjacent to the intersection of Illinois 22 and Illinois 43was a CP RR/
Metra railroad crossing that was reconstructed by Metra forces and required close
coordination with CP RR/Metra to assure the crossing gates for both the traffic lanes
and the Shared Use Path as well as the new combination railroad crossing signal and
traffic signal bridge were all in accordance with railroad regulations. In addition to the
roadway, a new drainage system and traffic signals were installed with interconnects
to other signals.
The eastern 1.5 mile portion of the project was in the City of Highland Park and
required milling the existing roadway, widened pavement with bituminous, installation
of drainage structures, traffic signals replacement, curb and gutter installation and new
bituminous binder and surface courses. Portions of this segment also included a HMA
10-foot wide Shared Use Path where right of way allowed and a PCC Sidewalk in
other areas. The entire project received landscaping with a rain gardens installed on
the southeast portion of the project.

CONSTRUCTION ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR THE NAVY PIER FLYOVER LAKEFRONT
TRAIL IMPROVEMENT
Chicago, Illinois
TYLI was selected by the Chicago Department of Transportation (CDOT) to provide
professional construction engineering services for the Navy Pier Flyover Lakefront Trail
Improvements from North Chicago River Bridge to Jane Addams Park in the City of
Chicago. As Navy Pier approaches its 100th anniversary in 2016, CDOT seeks to make
this area a modern, appealing and sustainable attraction for all to enjoy by undertaking
the construction of the Lakefront Trail Improvements “Navy Pier Flyover” project. The trail
is to be constructed in three (3) phases with the first two phases extending from the north
end of Jane Addams Park to the north end of the Chicago River Bridge, and the third
phase, which will span the Chicago River, connecting the existing trail on the south side
and the new “flyover” path on the north side.
The scope of the Navy Pier Flyover project includes constructing an elevated lakefront
path through a heavily congested lakefront area that will be utilized to provide safe
passage for bikers, joggers, roller-bladers and the general public. The trail will rise from
the north end of Jane Addams Park onto a newly constructed single column structure
running through Jane Addams Park, adjacent to Lake Shore Drive, and over the Grand
Avenue intersection. The structure will wind over Grand Avenue and attach to upper Lake
Shore Drive, cantilevering off the east side of the existing structure. The structure will span
Illinois Street and will intersect with the newly constructed Navy Pier ramp near the Ogden
Slip. From this point, the trail will run adjacent to the mid-level Lake Shore Drive through
DuSable Park with the final phase crossing the Chicago River and connecting to the
existing trail on the south end.
The project includes constructing a single column steel structure; modifying existing Lake
Shore Drive and the Chicago River Bascule structure to accommodate the new trail; and
constructing new ramps, approaches, retaining walls, stairs, drainage improvements,
ADA compliant connection points along the route to existing parks, and public streets.
Landscape and architectural elements will be included to fulfill the project’s stated intention
and provide a complete experience. The project includes the removal and disposal of
any special or radioactive waste that is encountered during this project. The United States
Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) identified the DuSable Park area as having the
potential for thorium contamination.

CITYWIDE CONSTRUCTION ENGINEERING SERVICES
Chicago, Illinois
TYLI was selected in 2005 by the CDOT to be one of three firms to lead the Citywide
Construction Engineering Services contract. This contract requires construction management
for work consisting of various streets and alley resurfacing, speed hump installation, sidewalk
replacement and curb and gutter replacement projects that were constructed by City labor
forces called In-House Construction. One primary program that is serviced under this contract
is the City of Chicago Aldermanic Menu Program, which allocates a budget to Alderman for
infrastructure priorities within their respective wards. Other City work that is serviced under
this contract, for which TYLI provides construction expertise, include ADA compliance, 311
repairs, vault reconstruction, speed hump installation and pot hole patching, as requested by
CDOT engineering.
ADA Ramp Compliance
The ADA compliance program was developed to address a federal government directive.
TYLI was able to develop and deploy an experienced team of individuals to assist the City’s
In-House Construction forces in constructing ADA compliant passing ramps.TYLI developed
a Program Manual that identified in detail the CDOT mandated tasks, flow charts identifying
the procedures necessary to achieve the tasks, prepared flow charts detailing the process for
each specific type of project, described in detail individual staff responsibilities & expectations,
examples of all individual project documentation required for project completion and current
ADA Standards & references to the City’s web site to check for updates.
TYLI also prepared a Training Manual & Power Point Presentation to educate staff as well as
the City’s In-House Construction forces as to what is a compliant ADA ramp. The success of
this effort was realized by the fact that the City In-House forces were able to achieve a higher
percentage of passing ADA compliant ramps than other City agencies and private contractors.
ADA Ramp Design
TYLI also coordinated detailed surveys and prepared designs to accommodate non Standard
ADA compliant ramps for submittal to the City’s QA program consultant for review and
approval. Upon receipt of approval for these designs, a field engineer was provided
for construction assistance and the designs were implemented in the field by In–House
Construction forces.

KENNEDY ROAD SHARED USE PATH PROJECT

PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
The United City of Yorkville has requested the assistance of a professional engineering firm to provide Phase III
Construction Observation Engineering services for the Kennedy Road Shared Use Path Project. The project is
located along Kennedy Road from IL Route 47 to the Steven G. Bridge Park. The proposed path is estimated to be
16,100 feet in length and 8-10 feet wide.
The project is estimated to be completed in forty-five (45) working days. Adjustments to fire hydrants, streetlights
and storm sewers are limited, so no delays are anticipated with this work. However, the shared use path crosses
the BNSF Railroad and ComEd right-of-way, so extra coordination may be required with these project
stakeholders.
PROJECT APPROACH
Every construction project varies based upon the engineering plans and specifications, personnel involved, and
the existing conditions of the site. Trotter and Associates understands the importance of the ability to create a
“team” with the client, contractor, utility companies, railroad and other project participants in each construction
project that we undertake. This team approach creates a unified vision, allowing the project to be completed
efficiently and on schedule. At the same time, we realize that with each construction project there are unique
problems and challenges for the team to overcome.
Although the Kennedy Road Shared Use Path project is not complex to construct, it can easily be delayed by
difficulties scheduling and completing the railroad right-of-way work and weather. If the project is not completed
in a timely fashion and traffic control is not properly maintained, staff time will be consumed responding to
complaints.
After conducting a field review of the site, TAI anticipates that key issues will be:
1) Proper Traffic Control on Kennedy Road
The construction engineer will monitor the Kennedy Road traffic flow and help direct the contractor
on to best prepare for ingress and egress the project site to minimize the impact on the traveling
public.
2) Maintenance of traffic control and clean job site.
TAI will closely monitor the traffic control as required and work with the contractors on site to
maintain a clean, orderly job site without material stockpiles located throughout the right-of-way.
Properly maintained traffic control and a clean and orderly site reduces complaints and the potential
for accidents.
3) Public Involvement
TAI is a local firm and has relationships with the City staff and the local community. We understand
the importance of providing accurate and timely information to the project stakeholders. Whether it
is meeting with IDOT, residents, the railroad or City staff, TAI has existing relationships that assist in
building the project team and getting the commitment to complete work on schedule.
UNITED CITY OF YORKVILLE
STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS
PHASE III ENGINEERING SERVICES
KENNEDY ROAD SHARED USE PATH PROJECT

TAI proposes to prepare/distribute flyers at the start of the project to notify the residents and
businesses along the project corridor. In addition we will provide weekly construction updates to be
posted on the City’s “Construction Projects” website until the project is completed.
4) Railroad Right-of-Way Work
Railroads can be very difficult to schedule work inside their right-of-way. Right-of-entry permits are
required as well as safety training for any personnel working in the right-of-way. TAI surveying and
construction staff have been E-Rail certified and have experience working in railroad right-of-way.
The resident engineer will continuously follow up with the BNSF Railroad to schedule the construction
of the shared use path across the tracks in a timely fashion so the project completion is not delayed.
PRECONSTRUCTION CONFERENCE
IDOT will lead a preconstruction meeting with the general contractor, design engineer, and other project
stakeholders such as the BNSF Railroad, utility companies (Nicor/ATT, etc) and the United City of Yorkville. The
meeting agenda will be prepared and administered by IDOT.
CONSTRUCTION STAKING AND LAYOUT
Since Construction Layout is not listed as a pay item in the pre-final engineering plans, TAI’s surveyors will
coordinate with the contractor to furnish and place construction layout stakes per the approved plans. TAI will
obtain survey control points and benchmark information from the design engineer. Our surveyors will set all right-
of-way stakes/markers and take all cross sections from which various pay items will be measured. They will make
random checks of the contractor’s work to verify it is proceeding in conformance with the approved plans.
CONSTRUCTION OBSERVATION
TAI will assign one (1) full-time construction engineer who will be on the
site to observe the contractor’s work and materials for conformance with
the approved engineering plans, specifications and contract documents.
The construction engineers will keep IDOT and the United City of Yorkville
representative informed of the contractor’s progress and shall endeavor to
guard against deficiencies in the work. Additionally the construction
engineer will inspect the project’s traffic control twice daily and erosion
control measures as required. The construction engineer will document
the quality and progress of the contractor’s work by preparing Inspector’s
Daily Report (IDR’s) and maintaining a project field book that will contain
all measurements and sketches used to justify the quantities in the IDR’s.
The field book will also contain surveying records, layout checks, and depth checks, etc. In addition, digital
construction photographs will be taken throughout construction activities and a weekly progress report
(generated by ICORS) will be submitted to the United City of Yorkville, IDOT and the general contractor
documenting when working days were charged and how many working days are remaining.
PROJECT ADMINISTRATION AND COORDINATION
Project administration and coordination services are contained in this scope of work. Attendance at weekly
progress meetings and the preparation/distribution of meeting minutes is included as part of these services along
UNITED CITY OF YORKVILLE
STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS
PHASE III ENGINEERING SERVICES
KENNEDY ROAD SHARED USE PATH PROJECT

with communicating with project stakeholders regarding construction activities and the contractor’s schedule.
These services also include time for contract administration and supervision of project personnel (including
subconsultants) by TAI. Our staff is experienced and fluently uses ICORS to complete the project documentation
per IDOT/FHWA requirements. Additionally the construction engineer will utilize the ICORS system to prepare and
maintain the following documents/files: monthly pay contractor estimates, change orders, weekly progress
reports, project diary, quantity books, progress meeting minutes, material testing logs, and project
documentation files. Time spent preparing “Construction”website updates would be included in project
administration and coordination services.
MATERIAL TESTING
SEECO Consultants will provide material testing, geotechnical and quality control services in accordance with the
IDOT policies and procedures. This allows TAI to verify that the proper materials and the contractor’s work is in
accordance with the project specifications. The construction engineer will gather/review all pertinent material
testing and quality control documentation prior to recommending payment for the work. SEECO will provide the
following services during the construction of the improvements:
Geotechnical Field Tests
Bituminous Material Density Testing
Portland Cement Concrete Material Testing
Monitor special waste testing and disposal (if required)
PROJECT CLOSEOUT AND RECORD DRAWINGS
Once the work is substantially completed, TAI will schedule/conduct a field review of the improvements with the
contractor, the United City of Yorkville staff and IDOT in order to prepare a list (punchlist) of uncompleted or
deficient items of work requiring completion or correction by the contractor. Once all material documentation
certifications is approved by IDOT, TAI will prepare and submit the final pay estimate for the release of the
remaining retention funds. At this time TAI will submit record drawings along with electronic copies of the
drawings to United City of Yorkville for their final records.
TAI has been providing the record drawings in GIS format so our clients GIS system can be immediately updated.
At this time TAI staff will assemble all project documentation into a job box for storage and for future information
if requested.

City of Elgin – 2016 Collector street Resurfacing program
Joe Evers, P.E. City Engineer
(847)-931-5955
Trotter and Associates, Inc. prepared preliminary design, final design and contract documents for the resurfacing
and rehabilitation of 2.83 miles of streets. The contract documents included a base bid and 5 alternates in order
to obtain “economy of scale” The streets include segments of Allen Drive; Bode Road; Bruce Drive; Campus Drive,
Channing Street, Chester Court; Fletcher Drive; North Lyle; Springfield Court; Valley Creek Drive; Waverly and
Weld Roads. The resurfacing work consists of HMA surface removal, pavement patching, installing strip reflective
crack control fabric, removing/replacing sidewalk ramps to meet ADA requirements; curb removal/replacement;
installing HMA binder and surface courses; pavement markings and restoration work. TAI coordinated with IDOT
and Kane County DOT for maintenance of traffic signals. Campus Drive and Weld road will be rehabilitated utilizing
full depth reclamation (FDR) with cement to stabilize the roadway base. Once stabilized, the base will be
resurfaced with HMA binder and surface courses. This rehabilitation alternative was more economical than the
completely removing and replacing the existing roadway. The project was bid in the winter of 2016 for
$2,000,030.00 and construction is scheduled to start in July 2016. TAI is providing construction engineering
services on the project.

Tasks include Phase I and Phase II Civil Engineering Design Services including permitting, cost analysis,
geometrics, pavement design, traffic staging, stormwater management report and design, traffic signalization,
preliminary and final construction plans, specifications and bidding documents for the approximate 3,300 feet of
roadway improvements. As proposed, Bowes Road will be extended approximately 3,300 feet from its current
terminus to Illinois Route 31; at its intersection with Illinois Route 31, the project will provide for intersection
improvements including a new traffic signal with inter -connect, roadway channelization and drainage
improvements. The primary goal of the project is to provide an east-west corridor between McLean Boulevard
and Illinois Route 31 to reduce the volume of traffic along nearby residential streets and enhance access to
industrial and manufacturing area located along Bowes Road.
Phase I tasks included preparation of funding applications through the Illinois Department of Transportation and
Kane/Kendall Council of Mayors. Due to the anticipated Federal funding involved, plan review and approval will
be necessary through the Illinois Department of Transportation - Bureau of Local Roads, and in accordance with
the Surface Transportation Program (STP) requirements. In addition, Phase III services including
construction/material inspection, planning, preconstruction and contract administration services will be performed
for the Local Agency and the Illinois Department of Transportation at the time of construction.

Mackie Consultants, LLC
Detailed Project Information:
Fall 2012 DuPage County Sidewalk Project (2012), DuPage County, Illinois
DuPage County constructed approximately 3000 linear feet of new 5 foot sidewalk at various locations on Devon Avenue, Schick Avenue, Geneva Road, and
75th Street. Another 1050 foot of 6 foot walk was constructed to replace an existing bituminous path at the DuPage County Comple x. Work at the County
Complex also included the construction of a handicap accessibility ramp leading from an emergency exit at the DuPage County Courthouse building.
Construction involved, removal and replacement of portions of existing walk, curb and gutter, and property access drives. The majority of the sidewalk was
excavated in the right of way, framed, stoned and poured in place. Extra attention was paid to make sure that sidewalk slope s did not exceed the ADA
standards of the Illinois Accessibility Code. Frequent checks of the sidewalk slope resulted in field adjustments to ensure compliance. Resident Engineering
Duties included: Conducting project meetings, on-site construction observation, project coordination, quantity measurement project documentation per IDOT
and DuDOT documentation standards, material testing coordination for QC/QA compliance where applicable, review of QC/QA reports for compliance with
project specification, site erosion control observation and documentation, contract oversight, checks for ADA compliance, and coordination and submittal of
contractor pay requests.
Illinois Route 31 (La Fox Road) and Bowes Road Intersection Improvements, South Elgin, Illinois
Tasks include Phase III Construction/Resident Engineering services for the new construction of approximately 3,300 lineal fee t of roadway improvements for
Bowes Road, complete with a 10’ bike path, stormwater infrastructure, utility adjustments, sanitary service stubs for future industrial properties along the
Bowes corridor, and street lighting infrastructure. Work on Bowes Road extended the road from its previous terminus, east to the intersection at Illinois Route
31. The project provided a new signalized intersection at Illinois Route 31 with interconnect, Route 31 widening and channelization, and drainage
improvements. Mackie staff also represented Fox River Water Reclamation District (FRWRD) as sanitary sewer inspector for sanitary sewer connections and
installations associated with the project. The project also involved coordination with Kane DuPage Soil Water Conservation District for the installation of a
temporary stream bypass system that was required in order to construct a required culvert crossing. Mackie frequently coordinated with KDSWCD on matters
related to site erosion and sediment controls, as the project area was tributary to the Fox River.
Mackie Consultants staff followed IDOT standard documentation procedures, acting on behalf of the Village of South Elgin as Construction/Resident Engineer
for the project. Mackie served as primary liaison between the contractor and IDOT/Village of South Elgin for all project coordination. Mackie staff was onsite
on a full time basis during construction, performing and/or coordinating tasks including but not limited to: meeting coordination, general project documentation
(maintaining a project diary, daily reports, weekly reports, traffic control inspection reports, erosion observation reportin g, etc.), construction and material
inspection, project contract administration, quantity measurement, documentation, and coordination for contract payments, punch-list coordination, and project
close out. FRWRD duties included the observation and documentation of any work taking place on the sanitary sewer system. Mackie staff was responsible
to ensure that all work was being performed in substantial conformance with FRWRD specification and observed vacuum testing o f the newly installed
facilities. Daily reports were generated and submitted to FRWRD staff for further coordination of sanitary sewer testing.
Illinois Route 25 at Kenyon Road, Intersection Improvements, Kane County, Illinois
Illinois Route 25 was widened from a 24’ wide (2-lane) rural section to a 50’ wide rural section with exclusive left turn and right turn lanes at its intersection
with Kenyon Road. The roadway was also widened to provide an exclusive left turn lane at an existing access road which serves a sand and gravel mine.
This area has a substantial amount of truck traffic due to its surrounding uses. Therefore, the stopping site distances were analyzed to verify that motorists
from all directions had sufficient time to turn safely. The pavement section was also enhanced with polymers to provide a lo nger lasting asphalt section. The
total roadway improvement length was 0.77 miles. Construction also involve installation of a traffic signal at the intersection of Kenyon Road and Route 25,
including interconnect with West Bartlett Road.
Resident Engineering Duties included: Conducting project meetings (pre-construction and otherwise), on-site construction observation, project coordination,
quantity measurement project documentation per IDOT documentation standards, material testing coordination for QC/QA compliance, contract oversight,
and coordination and submittal of contractor pay requests, erosion control monitoring and documentation.
McCook Athletic Exposition Center (2012) Additional Parking Lot Improvements, McCook, Illinois
To better serve the existing McCook Athletic Exposition Center, the Village of McCook constructed an approximate 29,000 square yard parking lot with storm
sewer system and site lighting, to provide an additional 800 parking stalls for the athletic center. The parking lot was co nstructed on a site formerly occupied
by a Reynolds Aluminum plant. The plant had previously been demolished resulting in existing soils comprised of a combination of clays, organics, and
various demolition debris. Due to the unique soil conditions, all excavated material was utilized onsite and capped under the constructed pavement section
or a thickened topsoil layer with geotextile fabric. Working closely with the owner’s environmental consultant, Rob coordina ted and performed the observation
and documentation necessary to assist in obtaining a No Further Remediation (NFR) Certification from the IEPA.
The existing soil conditions also resulted in challenges as extra care was taken to identify areas of undercut to eliminate u nsuitable soils from the pavement
subgrade of the lot. The pavement section for this project consisted of 1-1/2” HMA surface course on 4” roller compacted concrete (RCC). RCC is very
sensitive to moisture. Due to variable moisture in the aggregate stockpiles at the concrete plant, constant monitoring of the RCC compaction and moisture
content occurred during placement. The reside nt engineer was in constant communication with onsite QC/QA and the concrete plant QC manager to
coordinate adjustments to the field placement or plant mix in order to comply with project specifications.
Resident Engineering Duties included: Conducting project meetings, on-site construction observation, project coordination, quantity measurement project
documentation per IDOT and Village of McCook documentation standards, material testing coordination for QC/QA compliance, contract oversight, site
erosion control observation and documentation, checks for ADA compliance where applicable, coordination of survey crews for NFR documentation,
review of QC/QA compaction reports for specification compliance, and coordination and submittal of contractor pay re quests.
Phase V Capital Improvement Projects, Cedar Lake, Indiana
This project consisted of the completion of roadway improvements for 0.75 miles of roadway along Hilltop Drive, West 129 th Place, Fulton Street and West
133rd Place. The roadway improvements consisted of new curb and gutter, roadway patching, milling and re -surfacing, storm sewer improvements and new
guardrail. Resident Engineering Duties included: Conducting onsite project meetings pre-construction and otherwise), representing the Town to evaluate and
field determine increases to the project scope based on budget allowances, on-site construction observation, project coordination, quantity measurement,
project documentation, erosion control observation and documentation, contract oversight, and coordination and submittal of contractor pay requests.
Completed final engineering plans, specifications, engineer’s opinions of probable cost, permitting, and miscellaneous projec t management and inter-
disciplinary coordination.

Well No. 4 Emergency Repairs
Public Works Committee – July 19, 2016
See attached.
Eric Dhuse Public Works
Name Department
Summary
I would like to ask permission to have Layne Christensen perform emergency repairs to
well number 4 which is located at 610 Tower Lane. We have noticed a sharp decline in the
pumping volume from 1100gpm down to as low as 650 gpm. This is most likely due to the
wearing out of the bowls and impellers. The bowls surround the impellers and after millions of
gallons of pumping, they tend to wear out, get holes or start pitting. All of these things combine
to lower your production in a well. We have ruled out the motor or controls being bad by testing
them to make sure they are within their respective specifications.
This expenditure is not within this year’s budget, it was scheduled for 2019. This would
have been 11 years between services, which is very common. It is my belief that the increased
production load has lead to the well needing service before its scheduled time.
Background
Well 4 was last pulled and rehabilitated in 2008. Since that time, it has taken the brunt of
the responsibility for water in the central zone due to the fact that well 3 has had a tendency to
pump a great deal of sand as well as water, and the maximum pumping capacity of well 3 is only
300 gpm. We still run well 3, just not as much as we used to in the past. Well 4 has always been
a strong water producer for the city and it should be repaired as soon as possible.
In addition to well 4 production being lower than normal, well 3 is now out of service due
to an unknown issue. Before we decide what to do with that well, I believe that it is of great
importance to us to have well 4 repaired as soon as possible.
The estimate from Layne Christensen (attached) is $118,834 which is comparable with
the well 8 rehab we performed earlier in the year. As with that repair, this is an estimate only.
When the pump is actually pulled, we will be able to give a much closer price for repair. They
prepare for the worst and hope for the best, just like we do.
Recommendation
I recommend that we approve Layne Christensen to start emergency repairs to well 4 as
soon as possible. Since the dollar amount of the work is greater than $20,000 and we are not
requesting sealed proposals, this would need to be a supermajority vote gain approval from the
city council.

Blackberry Woods (Phase B) – Development Status
Public Works Committee – July 19, 2016
Consideration of Default Issuance
Consideration of Default Issuance
Brad Sanderson Engineering
Name Department
This memo is to provide an update as to the status of the completion of the improvements for the
Blackberry Woods (Phase B) development. If you recall, Phase B was created by ordinance
2010-22 which allowed this section of the development to remain undeveloped. There is a letter
of credit in place for the water main and sanitary sewer.
The City is currently holding a letter of credit in the amount of $111,159.84 for water main and
sanitary sewer improvements to be completed within the development. There have been several
attempts to communicate with the bank and owner of the lots regarding obtaining an updated
letter of credit and schedule to complete the improvements.
The following section of the City Code (Section 11-5-2 paragraph e) addresses this particular
situation:
Projects Over Four Years: Projects over four (4) years into construction will receive
notification of default from the city engineer, at the city council direction, indicating that
the letter of credit or performance bond is subject to a demand for call within sixty (60)
days of the date of the notice should the developer not seek an extension for completion.
(Ord. 2012-27, 8-28-2012)
Based on the amount of outstanding work and the lack of progress from the developer, staff is
recommending that a letter of default be prepared and issued to the developer. This would be the
first step in officially calling the letter of credit and afford the developer an additional sixty (60)
days to complete the required improvements, or until September 2016 before the City moves to
call the security.
At this time, we are requesting direction from the City Council as to whether a letter of default
should be issued.
