REPORT & RECOMMENDATION
ELIZABETH DRIVE BRIDGE
DISCUSSION:
Director Alan Lange described the bridge, and explained it is deteriorating and structurally deficient, and the deficiency rating makes it eligible for STP funding. The RFP Steering Committee discussed the submittals and recommended staff begin negotiations with the top rated firm, HR Green, to develop a scope and fee for the project. If that can’t be agreed upon, the second ranked consultant will be engaged in similar negotiations until an agreement is reached. He then reviewed the Phase I Scope and what is included. Mr. Lange also spoke about the potential Forest Preserve co-op, stating that land acquisition is needed from them. The estimated start date will be 2022/2023 after engineering is done.
Ald. E. Wesley asked where SPG funding comes from and was advised by Director Lange it is from the feds and administered through IDOT and DuPage Mayors and Managers. Their criteria must be followed and their approval is needed to move forward. He does not have the exact cost figures; however, bridge construction itself is in the area of $2.5 million. Manager Mermuys stated the grant funding, although the exact amount is not yet known, will be 80% of final cost. The City is also working with DuPage County Forest Preserve District who wants to partner on this project, and a separate IGA will eventually need to be done with them.
VOTE:
Ald. Catalano made a motion, seconded by Ald. Susmarski, to approve authorizing the City to Negotiate with the Highest Ranked Firm(s) for Phase I Engineering Services for the Elizabeth Drive Bridge over Salt Creek Bridge Replacement/Rehabilitation. A roll call vote was taken, with the following results:

Nays: None
Abstained: None
Motion: Carried
REPORT & RECOMMENDTION:
ROBINSON ENGINEERING CONTRACT – PRE-TREATMENT PROGRAM FYE2021
DISCUSSION:
Ald. E. Wesley asked if the two extra items that need to be done this year are required by the State of Illinois. Director Lange explained they are required, but are ongoing tasks that began last year and the costs are associated with continuing those. Brett Garelli stated the City needs to report to the federal government for the industrial pre-treatment and have a federal audit each year, which is currently going on. They do require the items Ald. E. Wesley asked about.
Ald. Jakab asked how many industrial users need to comply with this. Mr. Garelli stated staff is trying to find out if there are new companies which could be discharging, so Robinson blankets out letters to every business. Most of them are reviewed and wouldn’t be discharging anything. The federal government wants a new business to be checked to ensure there is no environmental impact. Ald. Jakab asked how many businesses had to comply in the past. Mr. Garelli stated that a report was just sent to the government on all of them and agreed to share that report with Committee members. Staff has to do an annual report in a few days which shows every business that does comply. This will also be forwarded to Committee members.
VOTE:
Ald. Catalano made a motion, seconded by Ald. Jakab, to approve a contract to Robinson Engineering for Management of the Industrial Pre-Treatment Program FY2021 in a not-to- exceed amount of $123,000. A roll call vote was taken, with the following results:
