Cainkar, P.E. Village Engineer Village of Lemont 418 Main Street Lemont, Illinois 60439 Subj: ProposallAgreement for Extra Design Services Canal Street - Ed Bossert Drive to Stephen Street Lemont, Illinois Dear Mr. Cainkar: The Village of Lemont has previously retained the services of Civiltech Engineering, Inc. to design the reconstruction of the subject street, in coordination with a streetscape program. The scope of the work covered by this original agreement includes " ... the establishment of final vertical and horizontal alignment, location and size of drainage structures, and compliance with applicable design requirements and policies." During the design engineering for this work, previously unrecognized conditions have been revealed which involve work out of the scope of the aforementioned agreement. In the best interests of the Village, these conditions, which are described in greater detail herein, should be addressed. Per our meeting on September 21, 1999, we have prepared this proposal /agreement encompassing all of the extra professional services required in conjunction with the current Canal Street Reconstruction Project. This proposal /agreement is intended to amend our original contract approved by the Village Board on December 14, 1998 and supercede all other proposals for extra design services previously submitted to the Village, which as of this date, have not been approved. Briefly, this proposal /agreement addresses the following main areas of concern: 1) The design of a new water main within Canal Street between Ed Bossert Drive and Stephens Street 2) The design of a new sanitary sewer main between Ed Bossert Drive and the Lemont Tunnel 3) Design of storm and sanitary sewer separation along Canal Street 4) The video televising of the existing Canal Street combined sewer from the western side of the existing siphon under the Lemont Tunnel, to Stephens Street. 5) The smoke testing of the existing combined sewer to determine the type of connections (storm or sanitary) which exist. We will address each of these areas separately. Page Two of Eight Proposal/Agreement; Canal Street Extra Design Services October 13, 1999 New Water Main Design At the time that the original agreement was being developed Ms. Littrell recognized that a new water main would be needed along Canal Street. However, she stated that the Village staff would design a new water main for Canal Street; that the plans for this water main would be prepared by the Village staff based on the street design. On March 12, 1999, Ms. Littrell contacted Civiltech Engineering to request that the design of the new water main be added to our existing contract. She admitted that the Village staff did not have the time to perform this design. She instructed us to prepare a proposal for this extra work. Ms. Littrell stated that the new water main would be 8 -inch in diameter and that it would replace the existing 6 -inch main. Replacement of all of the services would be part of this additional contract. Recently, it was identified that there are two active water mains within Canal Street; a six -inch diameter main and a four -inch diameter main. The dual main system complicates the design and the construction sequencing. Water Main Design - Scope of Work We propose to design a new water main along Canal Street, between Ed Bossert Drive and Stephen Street, replacing the existing water mains. It is our understanding that the size of the new water main is to be 8- inches in diameter. This specified diameter has been supplied to us by the Village and is assumed to be sufficient to meet the goals of the Village. Our design will determine the proper horizontal and vertical location for the new water main. This design will take into account required clearances from existing and proposed sanitary and storm sewers, as well as proper vertical depths to the greatest extend possible, as described in the "Standard Specifications for Water & Sewer Main Construction in Illinois." Preliminary investigation has revealed that it will not be possible to achieve the standard cover over the proposed water main and have the water main go over the Lemont Tunnel. Routing the water main below the tunnel is not recommended, as there is bed rock below the tunnel, which would increase the cost to construct the main significantly, as well as make maintenance and future repairs very difficult. We propose to incorporate into the design methods to mitigate the affects of the limited depth of cover to provide protection from both freezing temperatures and vehicle loads. The proposed water main will extend from a point west of Ed Bossert Drive in order to correct the existing condition of the water main passing through a storm sewer manhole. We will design the new water main to connect to the existing 6" water main west of Ed Bossert Drive and connect to the existing 10" water main, located along Stephen Street. The existing 4 -inch water main along Lemont Street, south of Canal Street, would remain and be reconnected into the new 8 -inch main. Page Three of Eight Proposal/Agreement; Canal Street Extra Design Services October 13, 1999 We will contact the Village Plumbing Inspector to request information regarding existing water service connections along Canal Street. We will also request from him the preferred size of each of the connections being replaced and incorporate this information into the plans. Water valves and fire hydrants will be included in the design, spaced at intervals per the "Standard Specifications for Water & Sewer Main Construction in Illinois" or the Village of Lemont Standards, which ever is.more conservative. The new water main design will be incorporated into the construction plans and documents being prepared for the Canal Street reconstruction project. The water main will be shown on the "Drainage and Utilities" sheets, with appropriate details included within the plans. The bid documents for the Canal Street reconstruction project will include all work related to the installation of the water main. The Special Provisions will address instructions to minimize the amount of time the water main is turned -off and the amount of time each business or residence is without water while reconnecting the new services. The complexity of the replacement of the existing dual system with a single main, as well as the remainder of the roadway and utility design, necessitates detailed construction sequencing instructions. We propose to develop this sequencing and describe it either pictorially or by written instructions and include this information within the construction documents.. Since the proposed water main will be greater in diameter than the existing main, a permit through the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) wilt be required. Our work will also include the necessary submittals to and coordination with the IEPA to permit this new water main. New Sanitary Sewer Design In reviewing video tapes of the existing combined sewer along Canal Street between Ed Bossert Drive and the Lemont Tunnel, it was recognized that this existing sewer was in a bad state of repair. Numerous cracks in the sewer were observed; portions of the sewer were missing; large amounts of sewer bedding material were observed in the pipe, indicating significant seepage and cracks along the sewer; and several sections were no longer round, but oval in shape, indicating that the pipe is collapsing. Although the sewer may last several more years in its current state, it will eventually need to be replaced. It is also likely that the existing sewer will collapse during the street reconstruction, in which case, replacement would be necessary. Since the roadway itself is being reconstructed, the most economical and logical time to replace is this sewer is in conjunction with the roadway work. Page Four of Eight Proposal/Agreement; Canal Street Extra Design Services October 13, 1999 A different, lesser quality video tape of the combined sewer east of the Lemont Tunnel indicated that this sewer is in a good state of repair. Placement of this sewer is not necessary and the existing sewer will be left in place during this project. Sanitary Sewer Design - Scope of Work We propose to design a new sanitary sewer to replace the existing combined sewer along Canal Street, between Ed Bossert Drive and the Lemont Tunnel. The new sewer will connect to the existing siphon under the tunnel. The size and slope of the sanitary sewer will be determined by Civiltech, such as to create the highest velocity possible as it enters the existing siphon. The new alignment of the sanitary sewer will be such as to maintain the appropriate horizontal distance from the new water main. The alignment will also be determined such that the existing combined sewer will remain in place during construction, until such time as the services can be transferred. As part of this work, we propose to prepare the necessary IEPA permits required for new sanitary sewer construction. Additionally, we shall prepare the permits necessary from the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago (MWRDGC). Along with the permits to these agencies, we will submit plans for theirreview, and address their comments as they are returned. Sewer Separation Design Previous agreements did not address the existing condition of the combined sewer system. Currently along Canal Street, both storm and sanitary discharges from both the buildings as well as the street, enter into the same sewer. By separating the storm and sanitary sewer discharges, less water is required to be treated at the Lemont Waste Water Treatment Facility, while providing a greater a greater capacity to accommodate storm water runoff. Effectively, to accomplish this task, existing storm sewer connections from the buildings to the combined sewer will need to be disconnected and re- connected to the new storm sewer. It is important to identify those existing storm connections during the design phase. The methods by which these connections are to be identified are described in other section of this agreement. Sewer Separation Design - Scope of Work The scope of work pertaining to this item includes the identification of existing connections to the existing combined sewers, and designing the proposed storm sewer system such as to be able to receive the storm connections. Field work will be involved with this task. This work also includes identifying the appropriate construction staging to ensure that services are provided during construction to the fullest extent possible. Page Five of Eight Proposal/Agreement; Canal Street Extra Design Services October 13, 1999 Combined Sewer Video Televising This work involves the services of EnviroVision Inc. as a sub - consultant to Civiltech Engineering to video televise the existing combined sewer from the western invert of the siphon under the Lemont Tunnel, east to Stephens Street. EnviroVision is the firm that provided the excellent video tape of the existing combined sewer between Ed Bossert Drive and the tunnel, which is being replaced. EnviroVision uses specialized equipment which allows a high resolution camera to record the condition of the sewer, together with an audio recording of the inspector at the time of the filming. Additionally, this equipment allows the camera to move and rotate, so to allow a view up into the sewer connections, determining if the connection is capped or not. We wish to add that the video tape which was previously taken of this sewer was not necessarily incorrect, but more that the quality and information provided on the tape was limited by the equipment used. We are not suggesting that the tape provided by the consultant was not per the agreement made with the Village. EnviroVision's work will also include the video taping of the siphon under the tunnel. It is important to determine the condition of the siphon itself. Siphons are not the optimum choice in sewer design, but was apparently the only option, short of a lift station, to get around the Lemont Tunnel. Designed to work as a combined sewer, a larger amount of water (both storm and sanitary flows) was anticipated to be routinely flowing though the siphon. This larger volume of water aids in ensuring that the siphon is routinely self - cleaned and remains unclogged. By eliminating the storm flows, the remaining sanitary sewer flows are likely to not have sufficient flows to keep the siphon clean. This is a potential source of clogging and would require routine maintenance. Obtaining as much information about this siphon is important Combined Sewer Video Televising - Scope of Work Civiltech proposes to retain the services of EnviroVision Inc. for the work as described in their enclosed proposal. The information provided by EnviroVision will be utilized by Civiltech in the efforts previously described in the design of the sewer separation. EnviroVision's fee will be considered as a direct cost. Civiltech will charge the Village for this work at the invoiced amount received from EnviroVision without any additional surcharge. Smoke Testing This work involves temporarily plugging the combined sewer and filling it with non -toxic smoke. The purpose of this work is to use smoke within the combined sewer to aid in the identification of the type and location of connections to this sewer. By filling the combined sewer with smoke, and as the smoke rises, it will rise of out plumbing openings. By visual identification, smoke observed rising out of the soil stacks on buildings will identify a sanitary connection. Smoke observed rising out of an exterior drain or a gutter will identify a storm connection. Page Six of Eight Proposal/Agreement; Canal Street Extra Design Services October 13, 1999 The smoke testing will encompass the entire length of Canal Street, on both sides of the Tunnel. Prior to conducting this work, SSE will contact the businesses along Canal Street, as well as the police and fire departments. Upon the completion of this work, SSE will provide photographs and field records of the observations from this testing. Smoke Testing - Scope of Work Civiltech proposes to retain the services of SSE. for the work as described in their enclosed proposal. The information provided by SSE will be utilized by Civiltech in the efforts previously described in the design of the sewer separation. SSE's fee will be considered as a direct cost. Civiltech will charge the Village for this work at the invoiced amount received from SSE without any additional surcharge. GENERAL CONDITIONS A. This proposal does not include the following services: Non municipal owned (Private) utility design Right -of -Way survey, engineering or plat or easement document preparation Test holes or field locates of privately owned utilities Additional soils survey or testing B. The scope of work for this additional work agreement does not include the analysis necessary to select a optimum diameter of water main. It is assumed that the Village has previously performed some analysis and has selected the appropriate size for the proposed water main. The generation of a computerized model of a water main network for this area of the Village, pressure testing, or any other means or methods to determine the optimum size of water main in order to meet capacity, pressure or any other such criteria, is not included in this work. C. Although the water main design will be coordinated with roadway, drainage and sanitary features, Civiltech Engineering can not guarantee that all private utilities, such as, but not limited to, natural gas and telephone, will be avoided. Horizontal and vertical locations of these type of utilities can only be accurately determined through test holes or excavation, neither of which is in the scope of work for Canal Street. Civiltech Engineering will design the water main to the best of our abilities, using the survey information and information gathered from other sources and consider any private utilities which were found as part of the survey. Page Seven of Eight Proposal/Agreement; Canal Street Extra Design Services October 13, 1999 D. All permit fees and other such fees associated with the proposed water main, proposed sanitary sewer and proposed storm sewer will be paid for by the Village. Such fees are not included in the compensation addressed in this proposal. E. The professional engineering services contained within the scope of work for this proposal/agreement or the original agreement for Canal Street Roadway Improvements does not include identification or correction of combined sewer flows within the buildings along Canal Street. F. Civiltech Engineering, Inc. shall not be responsible nor held liable for any delays in the construction or bidding schedules due to excessive review periods by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency or the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago. Page Eight of Eight Proposal/Agreement; Canal Street Extra Design Services October 13, 1999 COMPENSATION We propose to perform the professional engineering services for the Village of Lemont, as described above, for a maximum "not -to- exceed" fee of $35,284. This fee will include reimbursement of direct labor costs, overhead and indirect costs, fringe benefit and salary burden costs and profit. This additional fee would be in addition to the existing negotiated fee for the Canal Street Reconstruction project. As such, the labor and expenditures spent related to the above scope of work would be invoiced along with that work performed under the terms of the existing agreement. A Cost Estimate of Consultant Services for this additional work is attached, as Exhibit A. Monthly invoices will be submitted to the Village for payment, reflecting work performed on both the original Canal Street contract and on this proposed extra work. We appreciate the opportunity to be able to expand our services to the Village. We look forward to hearing from you.
