SUBJECT: Professional Services Agreement with Charles Pipal, AIA and Dan Ruzic, Chicago
Project Management for the Oak Brook Heritage Center Drainage Improvement Project
FROM: Mike Hullihan, P.E., Village Engineer
BUDGET SOURCE/BUDGET IMPACT: $15,000 to be funded by DCEO grant.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: I move that the Village Board approve the attached
agreement with Charles Pipal, AIA and Dan Ruzic, Chicago Project Management, for the
Oak Brook Heritage Center Drainage Improvement Project at a cost not to exceed $15,000.
Background/History:
During several storm events in recent years (including the September 2008 and July 2010
storms) the Oak Brook Heritage Center (Old Butler School) exhibited leaks in several areas.
Gutters and downspouts in some areas have been damaged and do not direct flows properly.
Foundation cracks allow water to seep into the lower level. The drain in front of the lower
entrance allows water to pool and be blown under the door. The planting box on the north wall
acts as a reservoir which holds water against the foundation and encourages foundation leaks.
In order to correct this problem Staff applied for and was granted a Department of Commerce
and Economic Opportunity (DCEO) grant. The $75,000 provides for design and construction of
remedies for the problems outlined above. The professional services agreement with Pipal/Ruzic
presently under consideration will be funded by the DCEO grant. As seen in the attached
proposal, both Messrs. Pipal and Ruzic have considerable experience working with
architecturally significant historic structures.

Recommendation:
I recommend that the Village Board approve the attached agreement with Charles Pipal, AIA and
Dan Ruzic, Chicago Project Management, for the Oak Brook Heritage Center Drainage
Improvement Project at a cost not to exceed $15,000.

1. Project Team and Roles
Charles Pipal, AIA — Project Architect
Charles Pipal is a licensed architect and educator with extensive experience in historic
preservation. As an ardent advocate for heritage preservation for over two decades, he
has taught at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago's Historic Preservation Program
Master of Science Program, served on numerous preservation advocacy boards, and
has been involved in all aspects of the construction process. His recent relevant
building projects include the rehabilitation of Immanuel Hall in Hinsdale for the Hinsdale
Historical Society, where he acted as architect and the conversion of a storefront
garage building at 39 East Quincy Street in Riverside into a viable commercial building,
where he acted as owner, architect and general contractor.
Mr. Pipal will serve as Project Architect and will be responsible for the architectural bid
package including specifications and drawings required for work. Specifically, Mr. Pipal
will provide on site measuring, drawing and photography, perform limited archival
research and develop design solutions appropriate to the task and historic nature of the
property. In addition, Mr. Pipal will work with the Oak Brook Historical Society, the
Village of Oak Brook, and the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency to evaluate potential
design solutions as they relate to the grant specifications, historic context of the
property and functionality museum. During the construction phase, Mr. Pipaf will be
available on an as- needed basis to help resolve technical issues.
Dan Ruzic — Project Manager
Dan Ruzic has served as President of Chicago Project Management, a company he
founded in 2003. His particular area of expertise is historic structures. His building
projects include the restoration of numerous religious properties in the near western
suburbs, Immanuel Hall in Hinsdale, and the La Grange Theater Building.
Mr. Ruzic will serve as Project Manager and will help facilitate the bidding and
negotiations and construction phases of work. In additional, Mr. Ruzic will consult in the
preliminary design and design development phases, provide value engineering and
technical expertise as they relate to particular design solutions. Mr. Ruzic will be the
principal party responsible for authorizing pay requests, performing field visits during the
construction process, reviewing any required submittals, and working with the general
contractor on their construction schedule. Mr. Ruzic will also perform punch lists and
project close -out services as required to complete the project.
Full curricula vitae for the two team members can be found in the attached appendix.
Additional qualified individuals may be included in the project team on an as- needed
basis only. These may include an architectural draftsperson and an associate project
manager. Additionally, during the initial pre- design phase it may be determined that the
services of a civil engineer is required.

2. Project Scope and Definition
The project scope has been defined by the DCEO Agreement and by a preliminary
walk- through performed on December 11, 2012. In summary, the following is our
understanding of the extent of the work required under the grant:
1. Gutter and downspout repair as required
2. Crack repair and sealing of the cast in place concrete foundation on the
west wall of the basement
3. Removal of the existing small retaining wall and raised planting bed
adjacent to the lower level west entrance at the area near the crack
4. Reconfiguration of the subsurface storm drainage system along the west
exterior wall
5. Reconfiguration of the existing grade along portions of the west exterior
wall. This may include the introduction of new sidewalk drains.
6. Reconsideration of the partially exposed concrete foundation wall near the
west entry. A new solution will be proposed which will better protect the
interior from water infiltration.

4. Fee Basis
The project fee will be billed by its component parts (Design /Engineering and
Construction Management and Oversight) and will be calculated by direct billable time
of staff assigned to the project. The hourly rates are as follows:
Project Architect $ 110.00 /hr
Project Manager $ 110.00 /hr
Architectural Draftsperson* $ 45.00 /hr
Project Management Assistant* $ 65.00 /hr

The total fee will not exceed $7,500 total for Design /Engineering portion and $7,500
total for the Construction Management and Oversight Portion.
It is assumed that the interim and final Project Manual submission will be in digital
format (PDF) and the printing of the project manuals for distribution will be done by the
Village in- house.
It is understood that any typical project expenses incurred by the architect and project
manager will not be billed as reimbursable expenses and will paid as part of their hourly
fee. These include travel and vehicle costs, in house printing expenses, telephone
charges, and postage and courier fees.
It is assumed that forensic material testing and soil testing is not required. It is also
assumed that the need for illustrative renderings and perspective drawings are not
required. If the Village deems these services as required, the services can be provided
as an additional service with fees outside of the scope of this proposal.

subsurface drainage lines must be evaluated by camera or other means, it is
understood that the Village would be responsible for those services.
The fee stated does not include the services of a civil engineer. It is agreed that the
Village of Oak Brook will provide in -house technical expertise and consultation for the
civil engineering aspects of work. It is anticipated that this assistance will involve
determining the location, size, connections and adequacy of existing and modified
subsurface storm sewer lines.
Billing
