AGENDA ITEM
Regular Board of Trustees Meeting
of
September 9, 2014
SUBJECT: 2015 Water Main Replacement Project
Engineering Services Agreement for Design Engineering
with Thomas Engineering Group
–Mockingbird Lane & Camelot Drive
–Luthin Road
FROM: Jim Bosma, P.E., Project Engineer y 3
BUDGET SOURCE/BUDGET IMPACT: $133,275 within Water System Distribution
Improvements Account 451-76200
RECOMMENDED MOTION: 1 move that the Village Board approve the attached
Engineering Services Agreement with Thomas Engineering
Group for the design of the 2015 Water Main Replacement
Project in the not-to-exceed amount of $133,275 and
approve Resolution R-1389,
Backgroundifrlistorv:
Included within the 2014 Budget are funds for the design of this project. The attached proposal
describes the specifics involved for this water main replacement along Mockingbird Lane and
Camelot Drive within Brook Forest subdivision and along Luthin Road in the southeast corner of
the Village. This project will ideally be the start of several annual projects in Brook Forest
subdivision–which so far has had only one minor water main replacement project in 1997.
Thomas Engineering has satisfactorily completed the 2014 Water Main Project which was
mostly in York Woods Subdivision, They also 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 1,44 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
2016 on the same streets, The Thomas Engineering not-to-exceed design fee of$133,275 equals
9.25%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, 2012 and 2014 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.
Recommendation:
I recommend approving the attached engineering services agreement with Thomas Engineering
Group for design engineering for the 2015 Water Main Replacement Project.

Oak Brook, Illinois 60523
Re: 2015 Water Main Project
Brook Forest Subdivision (Mockingbird Lane and Camelot Drive) and Luthin Road
Dear Mr. Bosma:
Thomas Engineering Group, LLC (TEG) is pleased to be working with the Village of Oak Brook again this
year for your 2015 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 2015 Water Main Project, the Village of Oak Brook is replacing approximately 5,450 feet
of the Village's existing water main that is located throughout the rights-of-way of Mockingbird Lane
and Camelot in the Crook Forest 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 storm sewer, inlets, and/or catch basins.
The proposed modifications to the existing water main will include replacement, relocation, and
abandonment of existing main 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
J.U.L.IE. located utility
thmas
r has arar;.� engineering group
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 5,450 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.
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. Geotechnical Investigation/CCDD —TEG will coordinate with a Geotechnical Subconsultant to
provide approximately six (6) pavement cores with four (4) locations tested to address Clean
Construction Demolition Debris (CCDD) requirements. The Geotechnical Subconsultant will
provide all necessary testing and reports to include anticipated recommendations and criteria
for soils disposal during construction. This work includes only the limits of the approximately
5,450 linear feet of water main improvements discussed earlier.
5. Drainage Design — Roadway drainage design will be completed within the project limits 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 these tasks will not require detention design,
DuPage Stormwater Permits, 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 on the Preliminary
(60%) Water Main Design,TEG will complete and provide full-size sets of substantially complete

PROPOSAL AND CONTRACT
Pavement Coring and CCDD Disposal Services,
2015 Water Main Project, Oak Brook, IL
Dear Mr. Orf
pursuant to your request, SEECO Consultants, Inc. is pleased to present our proposal for the above
referenced project. In preparing our proposal, we have reviewed pertinent information.
The scope of work SEECO is prepared to undertake is as follows:
• Perform 6 full depth pavement cores. The cores will be located in general accordance with the
site plan provided and may be offset as required to facilitate access.
• Representative soil samples will be collected and field screened for the presence of volatile
organic vapors using a photo ionization detector(PID). Visual and olfactory senses will also be
used to screen the soil samples for the presence of petroleum hydrocarbons. If no samples
display an elevated PID reading, then the soil will be assumed to be, to the best of our
knowledge, clean, uncontaminated fill material. This information will be documented on the
IEPA LPC-662 form. Four (4) forms will be prepared, one for Camelot, one for Luthin and 2
for Mockingbird.
• The resulting geotechnical soil samples will be returned to SEECO's laboratory for further
testing and analysis. Visual classification, moisture content, and unconfined compressive
strength will be performed on all samples.
• Upon completion of the field exploration and laboratory testing a written Geotechnical
Summary Report will be prepared under the direction of a Registered Professional Engineer of
Illinois. The report will encompass the subsurface soil conditions, laboratory data, encountered
groundwater elevations, existing pavement cross sections, and general construction
considerations. Boring logs will be prepared in lieu of profile drawings. JULIE will be
contacted. SEECO is not responsible for mismarked or unmarked utilities.

PROPOSAL AND CONTRACT
Source Site Certification Services for CCDD July 23, 2014
Disposal—2015 Water Main Project, Oak Brook, IL
As part of the IEPA requirements for Source Site Certification and Demolition Debris/
Uncontaminated Soil Fill Operation, SEECO proposes to perform source/site specific services. As part
of the criteria for SEECO to provide a Professional Engineer's Certification of Residential Sites
(including on ROW sites) on IEPA LPC-662 Form,the following services will be applicable:
A total of 11 locations will be sampled and screened, approximately 2 per section in addition to the
core locations.
Representative soil samples will be collected and field screened for the presence of volatile organic
vapors using a photo ionization detector (PID). Visual and olfactory senses will also be used to screen
the soil samples for the presence of petroleum hydrocarbons. If no samples display an elevated PID
reading, then the soil will be assumed to be, to the best of our knowledge, clean, uncontaminated fill
material. This information will be documented on the IEPA LPC-662 form. The soil probes utilized to
obtain the samples will extend up to approximately 2-3 feet below the existing ground surface and will
be performed along the areas scheduled for improvements. One (1) pH test will be performed for each
location. Four(4) forms will be prepared, assuming the pH meets the MAC Table requirements.
Above scenario assumes that materials are not from locations listed or adjacent to sites with known, or
high potential for, soil contaminant issues and that screening of the samples does not indicate volatile
hydrocarbons. Screening or pre-screening of samples at job site is no guarantee that landfill facility
will accept/not reject materials. Nor is it a determination that the site is entirely clean of contaminants
per IEPA standards.
The cost for these services will be as follows:
Scenario 1 --$6,100.00
Invoicing terms are net 30 days from date of invoice.
If this contract, including the attached General Conditions is acceptable, please indicate by signing one
of the copies and returning it to our office. It is represented that by executing this contract you
comprehend the terms and conditions set forth and agree to be bound by same.
