AGENDA ITEM
Regular Board of Trustees Meeting
of
September 24, 2013
SUBJECT: 2014 Water Main Replacement Project(parts of York Woods Subdivision)
Engineering Services Agreement for Design Engineering
with Thomas Engineering Group
—Bradford Lane
—Dover Drive
—Windsor Drive (south Sheffield Lane going southwesterly to York Road)
FROM: Jim Bosma, P.E., Project Engineer
BUDGET SOURCE/BUDGET IMPACT: $92,523 within Water System Distribution
Improvements Account 451-7620
RECOMMENDED MOTION: I move that the Village Board approve the attached
Engineering Services Agreement with Thomas Engineering
Group for the design of the 2014 Water Main Replacement
Project in the not-to-exceed amount of$92,523 and approve
Resolution R-1300.
Background/History:
Included within the 2013 Budget are funds for the design of this project. The attached proposal
describes the specifics involved for this water main replacement in parts of the York Woods
subdivision. This project will complete the replacement of all the water mains in this
subdivision, begun as far back as 1978, and will also be done in preparation for another large
street improvement project in 2015 in York Woods like the project that has occurred this year.
Per a formal request by the Village, nineteen engineering firms had submitted their
qualifications. These were reviewed and ranked mostly by the Public Works DirectorNillage
Engineer and myself. The results were then discussed with Trustee Gerald Wolin and the
Village Manager which was followed by the selection of four of the highest-ranking firms for an
interview. After the interviews, Thomas Engineering was selected by the Village to begin with
the design services. They are a majorly growing firm that begun in 2008 and are now located in
Lombard. They also have satisfactorily completed the relatively small 2013 Water Main Project
on the 22nd Street frontage road by Clearwater Drive.

The 2014 project is anticipated to cost up to 1.25 million dollars (not including engineering
costs) to replace a little over one mile of water mains along with installing some minor drainage
improvements that ideally shouldn't wait until major pavement resurfacing occurs in 2015. The
Thomas Engineering not-to-exceed design fee of $92,523 equals 7.4% of the anticipated
construction cost which is reasonable.
This project will continue our significant progress on water main replacements over the last
fifteen years. Some of these locations include all of the Yorkshire Woods subdivision in 1999,
parts of the York Woods subdivision in 2001, 2004 and 2012 and all of the Timber Trails
subdivision, along with 35th Street (Meyers Road to Cass Court), in 2010 and 2011. We also
replaced all of the unincorporated Westdale Gardens in 2007. After the proposed 2014 project is
completed, then all of the York Woods subdivision is completed with the Brook Forest
subdivision projected, more-or-less, as the next significant area within the Village to focus on for
water main replacements—ideally beginning in 2015 if sufficient funds are available.
Recommendation:
I recommend approving the attached engineering services agreement with Thomas Engineering
Group for design engineering for the 2014 Water Main Replacement Project.

Oak Brook, Illinois 60523
Re: 2014 Water Main Project
York Woods(Dover Dr,Bradford Ln, &Windsor Dr)
Dear Mr. Bosma:
Thomas Engineering Group, LLC (TEG) is extremely excited to be working with the Village of Oak Brook
again this year for your 2014 Water Main Project. We look forward to starting the design phase of the
project and respectfully submit the scope of services, anticipated schedule, and cost estimate of
consultant services.
As part of the 2014 Water Main Project, the Village of Oak Brook is replacing approximately 5,500 feet
of the Village's existing water main that is located throughout the rights-of-way of Dover Drive,Bradford
Lane, and Windsor Drive in the York Woods Subdivision. In addition, all valves, hydrants, and water
services (from the main to the curb stop)will be replaced. As part of the project, drainage concerns of
area residents will be addressed within the limits of the water main replacement area. This is
anticipated to include the installation of additional inlets and/or catch basins.
The proposed modifications to the existing water main will include replacement and relocation in its
entirety. Given the existing alignment through the residential area and the anticipated proximity to
other utilities,TEG anticipates strategically locating the water main within the existing rights-of-way to
accommodate water and sewer separation requirements adhering to the "Standard Specifications for
Water and Sewer Construction in Illinois".
In addition to determining an appropriate alignment for the replacement sewer that minimizes impacts
to the existing roadways,access to area residents, and water service to residences,TEG will also identify
innovative and feasible project solutions that will provide value to the Village in terms of cost,schedule,
constructability,operations,and future maintenance.
PROJECT SCOPE (DESIGN PHASE)
For this Project, TEG proposes a targeted approach to the proposed project design phase that will
achieve both expediency and the ability to complete the project with minimal impacts to Village
residents. Below is a summary of the tasks to be completed as part of the design engineering services:
1. Project Meetings—We anticipate four(4) project meetings to take place throughout the design
process. These are proposed to include a kick-off meeting, and review meetings for the 60%,
90%, and Final designs. Meeting minutes will be written for each meeting and distributed to all
attendees by TEG.
2. Survey/Data Collection—TEG will gather topographical and detailed roadway, drainage, utility,
and underground information as it is available. This includes obtaining all available data, such
as 1-foot contour data, existing Village water main data, and parcel boundaries.
In addition, TEG will utilize our own survey team to
collect any
t ' mas
J.U.L.I.E. located utility information, other critical surface and subsurface features, verify given
atlas information, and identify existing utility conflicts. This will include field location with
respect to all pavements,driveways, parkway tress,curb and gutters, pavement markings, signs,
manholes, utility vaults, drainage structures, etc. within the project limits (approximately 5,500
linear feet of roadway). Survey cross sections will be taken along the project limits at 50'
intervals,at driveways,and at all other grade controlling features. The cross sections will extend
from right-of-way to right-of-way. TEG will also gather pole-down information of every utility
structure within the project corridor and obtain information such as structure size, rim
elevation, upstream and downstream pipe invert elevations, pipe sizes, and materials. All
manhole inspections will be logged on TEG manhole inspection reports.
3. Utility Coordination—As part of the Data Collection process, TEG will provide utility notices to
all utility companies identified in the J.U.L.I.E. design ticket and request private utility atlases
within the project limits. In addition, correspondence with all affected utility companies will be
maintained throughout the design process, and when preliminary and final plans are available,
they will be sent to those utility companies for verification of the locations of their utilities.
4. Alternatives Analysis— Utilizing the data collected as part of Task 2, the TEG project team will
develop the design criteria for the water main design as well as the needed connections. As part
of this work,TEG will assess the critical aspect of maintaining water service to residents as much
as possible during construction. Various concept level alignments will be analyzed and
submitted to the Village for review and concurrence. Considerations in the alternatives analysis
are anticipated to include items such as cost, local impacts, schedule, constructability,
maintenance, IEPA permitting,right-of-way,and utility conflicts.
S. Drainage Design — Roadway drainage design will be completed within the project corridor as
necessary to address resident concerns. TEG anticipates this will include minor improvements
such as installing new inlets and/or catch basins, storm sewer point repairs, and installation of
new storm laterals. It is our understanding that improvements will not require detention
design, improvements outside of the project limits, or hydrologic/hydraulic analysis of
downstream storm sewers or receiving streams. If it is determined at a future date that
additional detailed drainage design is needed, TEG can provide those services as negotiated at
that time.
6. Preliminary (60%) Water Main Design - Using the information from the kick-off Meeting,
J.U.L.I.E. locates and utility coordination, available contour data, and TEG pick-up survey, TEG
will develop preliminary (60%) design plans, specifications, and construction cost estimates for
the most appropriate relocation alignment and phasing. The 60% plans and specifications TEG
develops will be in accordance with Local Standards and the "Standard Specifications for Water
and Sewer Construction in Illinois." In addition, TEG will perform quantity take-offs and gather
manufacturer's quotes for cost analysis. TEG will perform QC/QA on these plans documenting
those checks and will send copies to the Village for review. After the Village has had the
opportunity to review the 60% submittal, TEG will meet with Village staff to discuss all
comments and questions. TEG will address all comments and provide a disposition to those
comments to the Village.
7. Pre-Final (90%) Water Main Design - While addressing Village comments �ontheNFF_'TM_7FO_
Preliminary(60%)Water Main Design,TEG will complete and provide full size sets of substantially complete (90%)
-t mas
review plans, specifications, and estimates to the Village. TEG will prepare for and attend a
review meeting with the Village to discuss any comments to the 90% plans, specifications, and
estimates.
8. IEPA Permitting — After addressing Village comments on the Pre-Final Design, TEG will send
plans and coordinate the IEPA review. TEG will prepare the IEPA Application for Construction
Permit on behalf of the Village for submittal to the Division of Water Pollution Control, Permit
Section. The application review and approval process is anticipated to take between 60 and 90
days.
9. Final Bid Documents (100% Water Main Design) — Upon addressing all comments from the
Village's review of the Pre-Final (90%)Water Main Design,TEG will complete the final plans and
prepare final bid documents. TEG will assist the Village with distribution to prospective bidders
and will prepare to answer bidder's questions/requests for information (RFIs) during the bidding
phase. We will attend the bid opening, evaluate bids, and provide a recommendation for the
Village's consideration.
PROPOSED DESIGN SCHEDULE
TEG has an excellent record of designing projects within budget and scope as well as ensuring that
projects are delivered in a timely matter. TEG has identified the primary tasks of each stage and
evaluated each tasks' duration ultimately identifying the critical path to complete all engineering and
proceeding to construction in the time frame desired by the Village. Our schedule below depicts
approximately a 6 month duration from the Notice to Proceed through Design Approval. Using a
combined design engineering schedule as seen below, and allowing 4 weeks for bid advertisement and
local letting,it is anticipated that construction can begin in April/May 2014.

COST ESTIMATE OF CONSULTANT SERVICES
The following pages represent what TEG has developed in terms of a design engineering cost estimate.
This is inclusive of all preliminary engineering, design engineering, and request for information (RFI)
support services. We have utilized an MOT standard Cost Estimate of Consultant Services (CECS) for a
Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF) type of contract. Our proposed fee contains a not to exceed amount
comprised of labor and direct costs. The CECS form utilizes our audited overhead rate of 122.41%.
Our proposed scope of work is estimated to require a total of 889 man-hours and a total not to exceed
fee of$92,522.93. The details and support documentation for our fee are included as an attachment.
We hope that our interest and enthusiasm for this project show through in our proposal as we feel that
our past experience with the Village,along with our due diligence,expertise,and experience will provide
Oak Brook with a valuable investment. We are truly excited about the opportunity of working on the
2014 Water Main Project and look forward to answering any questions you may have about our firm,
staff, proposal, or experience. If you have any questions or require additional information, please call
me at(815)531-7868 or by e-mail at nicko @thomas-engineering.com.
Sincerely,
thomas engineering group, Ilc
