A. Award of Bid for the Water Plant Membrane Manufacturer, Approval of
Design Capacity at 14 Million Gallons Per Day (MGD), and Approval of the
Water Treatment Plant Design Agreement
PRESENTED BY: PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN WALDECK
CONTACT: Michael Thomas, Director of Public Works (810-3540)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Staff is requesting City Council award of bid for the
water plant membrane manufacturer, approval of the plant’s design capacity at 14
MGD, and approval of the design services utilizing the selected membrane
manufacturer.

Services Agreement
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: In January, 2014, City Council approved funding for a
comprehensive evaluation of the City’s water plant. At that time, the plant’s membrane
filter system was ten years old and staff had recommended that an overall analysis of the
plant equipment and a twenty-year capital improvement plan be developed to guide
both short and long term improvements throughout the facility. In conjunction with the
approval to commence the study, eighty-eight additional filters were purchased to
address aging membrane fibers and help return the plant to a higher capacity during the
summer months. In May, 2014, the City received a letter from its filter supplier stating that
the company would no longer be producing the filters used in the City’s water plant.
Receipt of this notice began a very detailed analysis of the options the City would have
to replace its filtering system. The Public Works Committee began its analysis in June,
2014. On June 1, 2015, City Council narrowed the possible membrane suppliers to three
companies. All three companies have multiple installations throughout the United States
and Canada, and with minor work to the plant, are interchangeable if the City were to
ever decide to utilize a different module.
At their January 27, 2016 meeting, the Public Works Committee recommended approval
of the replacement filtering company, plant capacity, and design services for City

BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: On Wednesday, January 20, 2016, the City received sealed bids
from the following companies to provide the filters and filtering equipment for a 14 MGD
plant capacity. Each company also provided a deduct if the plant had 14 MGD worth
of filtering equipment but only 11.4 MGD worth of filters.

After receipt of the bids, both staff and the City’s consulting engineer evaluated the
three companies based upon a point system that analyzed total present worth costs (50%
of the points), conformance to bidding documents (25% of the points), and applicable
similar project experience (25% of the points). Staff contacted references supplied by all
three vendors and in addition, contacted other plants that were not listed in the
company’s reference list. After four days of phone interviews with multiple water plants,
staff concluded that plants utilizing all three membrane manufacturers were very happy
with the filters, the support that was provided, and the timeliness of service requests, part
orders, and filter replacements.
Attached on page 32 of the agenda packet is a listing of water plants throughout the
United States and Canada that either use GE’s, Evoqua’s, or Pall’s membrane filters.
Specifically, all three membrane manufacturers have a strong U.S. presence; GE and
Evoqua both have Lake Michigan experience, Pall Corporation does not. Both GE’s base
bid and 20-year present worth costs were less than Evoqua’s. Based upon the
comprehensive analysis performed by staff and Strand Associates, the recommendation
to proceed with GE for the water plant’s filtering system was reviewed and approved by
the Public Works Committee. Staff will be requesting approval of a procurement
contract with GE in the amount of $250,000 in early FY 2017. The total construction cost,
to include the filter bid as noted above, is currently estimated at $9,750,000.
To maintain the established schedule, staff is also requesting approval to begin design
services so that City Council may award the construction contract in April, 2017. $565,000
is budgeted between fiscal years 2016 and 2017 for the water plant’s design. If
approved by City Council this evening, it is requested that staff be authorized to expend
$180,000 of the total design cost of $563,000 in FY2016. The remaining FY 2016 budgeted
dollars will be rolled over into FY 2017.

Monday, February 1, 2016 City Council Agenda
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: As a result of the Tax Levy Ordinance adopted by the City
Council on December 7, 2015, it is projected that $635,000 in tax levy proceeds will be
generated and available for additional abatement of debt service levies. The proposed
Ordinance provides for the abatement of 2015 taxes levied for the 2008 General
Obligation bond issue. The tax levies for all bond issues are established and recorded
with the County Clerk at the time the bonds are issued. Therefore, in order to reduce the
bond tax levies, an abatement ordinance must be approved and filed with the County
Clerk. The proposed Ordinance can be found on page 45.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: The approval of the proposed Ordinance will reduce the debt
service levy by $635,000 as contemplated by the tax levy ordinance adopted on
December 7, 2015.
COUNCIL ACTION: Grant final approval of the Ordinance abating the 2015 tax levy for
the 2008 GO bond issue.
5. Final reading of an Ordinance approving the Adoption of the October 13,
2015 amendment to the Lake County Watershed Development Ordinance
to meet FEMA’s National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) requirements and
remain a Lake County Certified Stormwater Community.
STAFF CONTACT: Robert W. Ells, Superintendent of Engineering (847-810-3555)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Adoption by reference of the Watershed
Development Ordinance of Lake County, Illinois as amended by the Lake County Board
effective October 13, 2015.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION: On June 19, 1992, The City of Lake Forest became the first
community in Lake County to adopt the countywide Watershed Development
Ordinance (WDO). This ordinance contains the minimum stormwater and drainage
standards by which all development within the county must be designed. The Lake
County Stormwater Management Commission (SMC), which is the county agency
responsible for overseeing that this ordinance is being followed on a countywide basis,
recognizes The City of Lake Forest as a Certified Stormwater Community that is able to
administer the ordinance on our own with only periodic review by the SMC. All wetlands
related permitting are still administered through SMC.
Since this ordinance was first adopted in 1992, it has been revised on ten (10) other
occasions. Periodic review of the Watershed Development Ordinance is undertaken by
SMC to ensure that it is both up to date on technical issues and to remove any
ambiguities that may arise in interpreting the regulations. The Lake County Board
adopted the latest revisions to the Watershed Development Ordinance recommended
by the SMC on or about October 13, 2015. A copy of the proposed Ordinance is included
in the Council packet beginning on page 46.
The City of Lake Forest, through the WDO, is in good standing with the National Flood
Insurance Program (NFIP). As a NFIP member Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) provides the City residents to buy flood insurance at a discounted rate. The WDO
allows an Enforcement Officer to resolve drainage and flooding related concerns within
7
Monday, February 1, 2016 City Council Agenda
the community. The WDO also regulates infrastructure improvements and detention
requirements within School district jurisdiction. Ever since its adoption in 1992 City has
received zero deficiencies from SMC in enforcing the WDO.
COUNCIL ACTION: Approve final reading of the Ordinance amending TITLE XV: Land Use
and Development: Chapter 152 Planning: Paragraph152.30: Adoption of Lake County
Watershed Development Ordinance by Reference of The City of Lake Forest Code be
rescinded and replaced with the adoption by reference of the Lake County Watershed
Development Ordinance of Lake County, Illinois approved as amended by the Lake
County Board effective October 13, 2015.
6. Ratification on previous approval of a Resolution committing to the
expenditure of funds, approval of the Local Agency Consultant Agreement
for Design Engineering Services for Federal Participation and the Local
Agency Agreement for Federal Participation for the Lake Forest Metra
Station – Union Pacific CBD North Line Stage 3 (Interior) Renovation Project,
and authorization for the Mayor and the City Manager to execute Local
Agency Agreements and other related documents.
STAFF CONTACT: Michael P. Strong, Assistant to the City Manager (810-3680)
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: At the Tuesday, January 19, 2016 City Council meeting, the
City Council approved a Resolution committing to the expenditure of funds, approved
the Local Agency Consultant Agreement for Design Engineering Services for Federal
Participation and approved the Local Agency Agreement for Federal Participation for
the Lake Forest Metra Station – Union Pacific CBD North Line Stage 3 (Interior) Renovation
Project, and granted authorization for the Mayor and the City Manager to execute Local
Agency Agreements and other related documents.
In 2010 and 2012, the City received Illinois Transportation Enhancement Program (“ITEP”)
grants totaling over $2.07 million in grant funding for this project. In addition to these
funds, the City and Metra have contributed a combined total of roughly $617,000 to the
project.
The remaining work to be completed on this project includes various exterior
improvements (e.g. masonry repair, tuck-pointing, painting and window restoration)
which are scheduled to begin on March 15 and be completed sometime in late summer
or early fall, and interior improvements (e.g. bathroom renovation, mechanical upgrades,
aesthetics, etc.) which are anticipated to begin in the fall and be completed by the end
of the year.
This past October, Council approved a contract with Alfred Benesch & Company in the
amount of $76,321 for the Phase II design engineering for the interior improvements. In an
effort to reserve grant funds and expedite the schedule for design work, Council also
authorized Alfred Benesch & Company to proceed with feasibility design work to be
funded locally so that work could get started on this phase of the project while IDOT was
reviewing the Local Agency Agreements. The Local Agency Consultant Agreement for
Federal Participation is a required agreement for the use of the selected consultant
(Alfred Benesch & Company) to provide Phase II design engineering services.
8
Monday, February 1, 2016 City Council Agenda
The Local Agency Agreement for Federal Participation is a standard agreement
between the City and IDOT that stipulates the division of cost (80/20) and general
conditions for the use for federal grant funds. The City has received concurrence from
IDOT on these Agreements, and the resolution before you this evening allows the Mayor
and the City Manager to authorize the expenditure of funds in relation to the 20% match
of federal grant money.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: The current estimate for the remaining phase II design
engineering work that has been provided for in the agreement is $56,321. The current
estimated City 20% share is $11,265. This amount would be expended from the remaining
ITEP grant balance.
COUNCIL ACTION: Ratification on previous approval of a Resolution committing to the
expenditure of funds, approval of the Local Agency Consultant Agreement for Design
Engineering Services for Federal Participation and the Local Agency Agreement for
Federal Participation for the Lake Forest Metra Station – Union Pacific CBD North Line
Stage 3 (Interior) Renovation Project, and authorization for the Mayor and the City
Manager to execute Local Agency Agreements and other related documents.
7. Request for City Council Approval of an Agreement for Professional Design
Services for the Westfork & Hackberry Storm Sewer Project and an Advance
of F.Y. 2017 Capital Funds
STAFF CONTACT: Michael Thomas, Director of Public Works (810-3540)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Staff is requesting City Council approval to enter into
an agreement with Baxter & Woodman to perform Professional Design Services for the
West Fork & Hackberry Storm Sewer Project. A copy of the contract can be found on
page 50.

Services Agreement
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: In 2014, Baxter & Woodman performed a comprehensive
storm water drainage study for The City of Lake Forest. Computer models of the
drainage system were used to identify problem areas and deficient sewers. The report
identified thirteen locations to address needed storm sewer improvements.
The highest priority project was identified as improvements to the Westfork & Hackberry
neighborhood. The report identified that the existing storm sewer needs to be enlarged
to meet the minimum requirements of the Lake County Watershed Development
Ordinance in order to handle a 10-year storm event. The modeling for this study area
showed the existing sewer having a capacity for a 2-year event. By enlarging some of
9
Monday, February 1, 2016 City Council Agenda
the storm sewers along Bowling Green, Farm, Hackberry, and Wilson, the flooding of
streets and intersections in this area will be reduced.
The PowerPoint presentation that was presented at the Public Works Committee is
included in this agenda packet beginning on page 60. The Public Works Committee was
in support of the project; however they noted various flooding concerns on Ranch Road
and asked that Baxter & Woodman incorporate that specific area in their modeling as it
pertains to the overall design of the project.
Based upon Baxter & Woodman’s past involvement in multiple storm water studies and
their extensive knowledge of the City’s storm water system, staff is recommending that an
exception be made to the RFP process (Section 8.5 D1 of the City’s purchasing
procedures) and the firm be utilized for design of this project.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: The current estimate for this FY 2018 project is $1,500,000. Staff is
recommending approval of design services this evening so the design can be completed
and an engineer’s estimate can be created before the November capital budget
meeting. The FY2017 capital budget allocates $150,000 for design services, and it is
requested that staff be authorized to expend $45,000 of that amount in FY2016. If
needed, a supplemental appropriation Ordinance for the FY2016 advance will be
submitted in April.

Finance Committee 3/9/15 Received “Look Back Audit” Report
Public Works Committee 1/27/16 Reviewed and Approved
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: At the April 13, 2013 City Council meeting, City Council
approved a three year agreement with GeWalt Hamilton to provide engineering services
to the City. The City Surveyor and Engineer is needed to fulfill statutory requirements,
assist with plan reviews required by the Watershed Development Ordinance, and review
commercial development, and IEPA / IDOT permits.
Over the past three years, the assigned engineer from GeWalt Hamilton has been
extremely responsive and has amassed a wealth of knowledge and understanding about
The City of Lake Forest, its policies, practices, and infrastructure. Staff from various
Departments has been extremely pleased with the engineer’s overall quality of work and
attention to detail.
Therefore based upon Section 8.5 D1 of the City’s Purchasing Directive (exceptions based
upon an existing relationship), staff is recommending that the City not pursue the request
for proposal / interview selection process.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: GeWalt Hamilton has proposed a F.Y. 2017 increase of 4.7% to
their current rates through April 30, 2018. Beginning in F.Y. 2019 their rates would increase
approximately 4.5% but would hold through April 30, 2019. Attached on page 70 is the
draft agreement.
As noted in the original interview process, Gewalt Hamilton is the engineer for Lake Forest
College. If at any point in the future, Lake Forest College proposes any development,
expansion, or infrastructure modifications, such plans would be reviewed by Bleck
Engineering as the City’s secondary engineering firm. In addition, Gewalt Hamilton
Associates has committed to not performing any engineering services for other
private/commercial Lake Forest clients while working as the City’s surveying and
engineering consultant.
The City budgets $43,000 annually for City engineering services as they specifically
pertain to City projects or issues requiring input from the City Engineer. Any dollars
expensed for permit reviews are reimbursed by the developer or property owner. Not
knowing how many new permit requests might be submitted throughout a fiscal year, it is
difficult to estimate how much more than the $43,000 will be spent for permit review
services.

6. ORDINANCES
1. Consideration of an Ordinance approving a Fee Schedule (First Reading)
PRESENTED BY: Elizabeth Holleb, Finance Director (847-810-3612)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Staff requests approving the first reading of a
proposed Ordinance amending the fee schedule for Fiscal Year 2017.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: On December 7, 2015, the City Council approved an
Ordinance establishing a fee schedule for Fiscal Year 2017. It was noted at that time that
water rates would be presented for approval in February 2016.
A comprehensive fee schedule is provided as Exhibit A to the Ordinance approving a fee
schedule, which clearly identifies the proposed fee increases highlighted in yellow and
the proposed new fees highlighted in orange. Fees highlighted in green are not
reflective of changes in existing fees; rather, they are clarifications due to a review of City
Code and current practices.
Changes in water rates are recommended pursuant to discussion at the January 19,
2016, Finance Committee meeting. For FY2017, the variable (consumption) rates reflect a
2.50% increase to address anticipated operating cost increases of the water utility. A
new fee is incorporated in the City Manager section for changes in owners or officers
associated with liquor licenses. The Ordinance amending the City Code and establishing
this new fee was granted first reading approval on January 19 and is scheduled for final
approval on February 16 consistent with this fee schedule Ordinance.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: Revenue for the increased fees is estimated to be $168,362 in the
Water Fund.
COUNCIL ACTION: Grant first reading to the proposed ordinance (page 83).
7. ORDINANCES AFFECTING CODE AMENDMENTS
1. Consideration of an Ordinance Amending the Traffic Code, Title VII of the
City Code, as Recommended by City Staff. (First Reading)
STAFF CONTACT: Craig Lepkowski, Police Commander (847-810-3807)

Monday, February 1, 2016 City Council Agenda
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Staff requests approval of first reading of an amendment to
the Traffic Code as currently set forth in Title VII of the City Code.
On January 20, 2015, City Council granted final approval of an Ordinance adopting an
updated City Code. As a follow up, City Staff and the City Attorney have begun to
review certain provisions of the code to determine whether changes are required to
reflect changes in practices or policies of the City.
As part of that review, the City Manager, Executive Staff, the City Council Liaison, and the
City Attorney have reviewed the Traffic Code provisions of the City Code set forth in Title
VII of the Code (Chapters 70-78). A working draft of the proposed amendments to Title
VII of the City Code is included in the Council packet beginning on page 106.
BACKGROUND: At the time the City Council approved the updated City Code in 2015, it was
recognized that various elements of the City’s Traffic Code as then incorporated into the City
Code was not reflective of State law, current practices, or implementation practices of the
Police Department. Based on a thoroughgoing review of the current Traffic Code, the
attached working draft of amendments was prepared. The attached draft attempts to
improve the overall organization of the City’s Traffic Code, remove provisions where State law
enforcement is customarily utilized or required, update the Traffic Code language to parallel
State law, and align Departmental practices with the terms of the Traffic Code.
Although there remains some fine-tuning of the amendments (including confirmation of the
traffic, parking, and loading schedules in Chapters 77 and 78 and confirmation of various items
with the Finance and Community Development Departments), the attached draft represents a
substantially completed update of the City’s Traffic Code (Title VII of the City Code).
RECOMMENDATION: In order to advance the update of the City’s Traffic Code, it is
recommended that the City Council grant first reading of the attached draft ordinance. An
updated version of the ordinance will be presented to the City Council for final action after the
final internal reviews are completed.
COUNCIL ACTION: It is recommended that the City Council grant first reading of an
ordinance amending Title VII of the City Code (the City’s Traffic Code).

NEW BUSINESS
1. Request of a Waiver of the High Impact Traffic Fee for the Environmental Remediation Project
at Fort Sheridan Landfill #1
City Manager Robert Kiely, Jr., reported that The City of Lake Forest recently received a letter from
the Army Corps of Engineers, is asking to have the high impact traffic permit fees waived. And at
this time staff is recommending denial of the Army Corps of Engineers request for a waiver of the
High Impact Traffic Fee.
The City Manager reported that Landfill #1 is located in the northwestern corner of Fort Sheridan.
Approximately 50 percent of Landfill #1 is on Army Reserve property ("On-Post Area"). The
balance of Landfill 1 extends off-post on land owned and controlled by The City of Lake Forest
("Off-Post Area"). The Off-Post Area is comprised of a narrow dirt road and a thickly vegetative
wooded area and ravine. The City owns the Off-Post Area and recreational and residential use are
prohibited in this Area. Landfill #1 contains 34,025 cubic yards of soil and waste. Landfill #1
covers 50,695 square feet.
For the Off-Post Area, the Proposed Plan calls for waste and soil above the remedial action
objectives ("RAOs") to be removed for off-site disposal, with the resulting excavation to be
covered with clean fill. Site preparation necessarily will include clearance of significant amounts
of trees and vegetation.
Mr. Kiely reported that prior to 2006, the Army had approached the City with alternatives
regarding either removal of waste within the City limits or capping the waste on a permanent
42
Proceedings of the Tuesday, January 19, 2016
Regular City Council Meeting
basis. The City preferred removal of waste within the City limits with a monitoring system installed
for groundwater quality. The Army informed the City that the City’s preferred alternative would
be considered for funding in 2008. In the meantime, under pressure from IEPA, the Army made
interim repairs at the site in 2007 when it was discovered that erosion had uncovered landfill
waste on parts of the site. Some clearing was done and 2’ – 3’ of earth fill was placed on the
landfill between the access road and the ravine. The area was seeded and erosion control
methods were put in place.
The U.S. Army is required by federal and state laws to remediate the landfill to ensure the
protection of human health and the environment. Based on the anticipated waste volume, it is
estimate that up to 4,000 truckloads (2,000 out and 2,000 in to the site) will be required to
remove the waste from the Army and Lake Forest property and to backfill/restore the site.
Mr. Kiely added that the purpose of the High Impact Traffic Permit Ordinance is to assess a fee in
order to recoup the loss in serviceable life of the roadway due to the accelerated deterioration of
the pavement caused by a high level of trucking activity.
The City Council had a discussion on the number of trucks, tonnage of material, and the effects of
not granting the waiver.
COUNCIL ACTION: If determined to be appropriate by the City Council, staff recommends the
City Council deny the Army Corps of Engineers request for a waiver of the High Impact Traffic
Fee and Authorize the City Manager to allow phasing in payment of fees’ flexibility.
Alderman Moreno made a motion to deny the Army Corps of Engineers request for a waiver of the
High Impact Traffic Fee and Authorize the City Manager to allow phasing in payment of fees’
flexibility, seconded by Alderman Newman. The following voted “Yea”: Aldermen Waldeck,
Beidler, Newman, Tack, Reisenberg, and Moreno. The following voted “Nay”: None. 6 Yeas, 0
Nays, motion carried.
ADDITIONAL ITEMS FOR COUNCIL DISCUSSION
City Manager Robert Kiely Jr., gave a brief recap of the Train Station renovation project and that
it is moving quickly and due to an error outside The City of Lake Forest’s control, there is a
resolution in front of the Council committing to the expenditure of funds, approval of the Local
Agency Consultant Agreement for Design Engineering Services for Federal Participation and the
Local Agency Agreement for Federal Participation for the Lake Forest Metra Station – Union

In March 2013, Baxter & Woodman was retained by the City to perform an analysis of the City’s
drainage system. The study was completed in November 2014 with recommendations for drainage
improvements in ten critical areas throughout the City. Of the recommended improvements, the
highest priority improvements were located in southwestern Lake Forest, in the vicinity of West Fork
Drive and Hackberry Lane. Given our familiarity with the existing drainage problem in this area and
our expertise in designing drainage improvements for municipalities throughout northeast Illinois,
we are pleased to provide you with this proposal for the design and solicitation of construction bids
from qualified contractors.
Scope of Services
The following outlines our proposed scope of services.
1. PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Plan, schedule, and control activities to complete the Project. These activities include, but are
not limited to, budget, schedule, and scope. Submit a monthly status report via email
describing tasks completed the previous month and outlining goals for the subsequent
month.
2. TOPOGRAPHIC SURVEY
Perform topographic survey of natural and man-made features within the Project limits and
at 50-foot intervals including driveways and cross streets to develop base sheets for Project
drawings. The Project limits are considered to be:
o The West Fork Drive right-of-way from Hackberry Lane to Farm Road;
o The Farm Road right-of-way from a point approximately 600 feet west of Wilson
Drive to Wilson Drive;
o The Wilson Drive right-of-way from Farm Road to Bowling Green Drive; and
50

City of Lake Forest 151130.40 Page 2
o The Bowling Green Drive right-of-way from Wilson Drive to a point approximately
200 feet east of Ranch Road.
State plane coordinates and NAVD 88 will be used for horizontal and vertical controls,
respectively.
Field locate existing property boundary markers within the Project limits.
It is anticipated the topographic survey will not require Prevailing Wage for Survey Workers
to be paid to technicians performing the work. In the event it is determined the topographic
survey is covered work under the Illinois Prevailing Wage Act (820 ILCS 130), Baxter &
Woodman, Inc. will negotiate with the City to determine an equitable increase in
compensation to meet the requirements of the Act.
3. UTILITY LOCATES
Complete a Design Stage Request with JULIE, which consists of obtaining names and
telephone numbers of utilities located within the work area.
Contact utilities, obtain atlases where available, and provide preliminary Drawings to utility
companies for their markup and return.
If utility relocates are found to be needed due to conflict with a proposed pipeline, work with
utility company engineers to provide information and assistance as needed.
4. GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION AND PAVEMENT CORES
Arrange for a geotechnical sub-consultant to perform up to three (3) soil borings, collect and
analyze soil samples, determine groundwater levels, and prepare a written report.
Utilize pavement cores provided by the City for estimating the composition of the existing
pavement within the project limits.
Sub-consultant and laboratory services for Geotechnical Investigation and Pavement Cores
are estimated to cost $5,000, which is included in the not-to-exceed amount.
5. MEETINGS
Hold a kick-off meeting with City staff and the project team to establish clear lines of
communication, introduce City staff to the team members, and establish the City’s detailed
needs, objectives, and goals for the Project. The meeting will also be used to set schedules
and guidelines for any future design meetings.
Conduct two (2) meetings with staff at times during the design of the Project to clarify staff
recommendations, design questions, and/or construction methods. Design meetings will
consist of one preliminary “red line” meeting, where the initial layout is approved and one
meeting at 75 percent completion.

Drawings, and identify the horizontal and vertical alignment of the storm sewer pipe and
roadway.
Walk the sewer routes with City staff to: resolve deficient/questionable items from the
topographic survey; evaluate the condition of existing pavements, drainage structures, and
curb and gutter; confirm the horizontal and vertical alignment of new sewers; identify areas
conducive for contractor staging; identify parkway features to be protected, and evaluate
restoration options.
Prepare guidelines for protection of parkway features/trees, traffic control, construction
staging, and restoration for the City’s use in communicating with residents, and for use during
detailed design.
7. SEWER MODELING AND INLET CALCULATIONS
Update the hydraulic model with detailed design data for the proposed storm sewer
improvements to confirm the required storm sewer sizes, elevations, and number, size and
location of inlet structures.
Modify the model and/or the design and analyze the proposed design to verify it matches the
intent of the Project and conforms to the modeling (and vice versa).
8. DESIGN DOCUMENTS

and completeness of all information provided by the Owner including its consultants, contractor, specialty contractors, manufacturers,
suppliers and publishers of technical standards without independently verifying that information. The Owner warrants that all known
hazardous materials on or beneath the site have been identified to BW. BW and their consultants shall have no responsibility for the
discovery, presence, handling, removal or disposal of, or exposure of persons to, unidentified or undisclosed hazardous materials unless
this service is set forth in the proposal.
Schedule for Rendering Services - The agreed upon services shall be completed within a reasonable amount of time. If BW is hindered,
delayed or prevented from performing the services as a result of any act or neglect of the Owner or force majeure, BW’s work shall be
extended and the rates and amounts of BW’s compensation shall be equitably adjusted in writing executed by all Parties.
Invoices and Payments - The fees to perform the proposed scope of services constitute BW’s estimate to perform the agreed upon scope
of services. Circumstances may dictate a change in scope, and if this occurs, an equitable adjustment in compensation and time shall be
made by all parties. No service for which added compensation will be charged will be provided without first obtaining writte n
authorization from the Owner. BW invoices shall be due and owing by Owner in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Local
Government Prompt Payment Act.
Opinion of Probable Construction Costs - BW’s opinion of probable construction costs represents its reasonable judgment as a
professional engineer. Owner acknowledges that BW has no control over construction costs of contractor’s methods of determini ng prices,
or over competitive bidding, of market conditions. BW cannot and does not guarantee that proposals, bids, or actual construction costs will
not vary from BW’s opinion of probable construction costs.
Standards of Performance – (1) The standard of care for all services performed or furnished by BW, will be completed with the same

Lake Forest, Illinois
Dear Mr. Thomas:
Thank you for inviting Gewalt Hamilton Associates, Inc. to continue to serve as the City Engineer of
Lake Forest. Our firm is well qualified to perform this work and is quite interested in continuing to serve
the City of Lake Forest.
We have enclosed a draft agreement for your review specifying our proposed billing rates for a three
year term from May 1, 2016 thru April 30, 2019. The billing rates proposed for the first two years of the
agreement reflect our 2016 discounted municipal rates, which represent a discount of approximately
10% off of our standard rates. The rates would only increase for the final year of the agreement, from
May 1, 2018 thru April 30, 2019, in keeping with an overall increase of approximately 2.5% annually. It
is anticipated that for a majority of the term of the contract these rates will be less than our typical
discounted municipal rates.
If you should have any questions or require additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
Gewalt Hamilton Associates, Inc.
