Information
A key component of the Mount Prospect Strategic Plan is to partner with appropriate government agencies to resolve
troublesome intersection issues. Last year the Village commissioned a report that began to look at opportunities to
reduce congestion, improve mobility, and enhance safety in the downtown. One key accomplishment was reviewing and
modifying the traffic signal timing programs to better reflect today's conditions. The changes, made with the partnership
of the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT), have improved traffic flow and reduced delays. At the direction of the
Village Board of Trustees, the Village desires to build upon that report to complete four additional tasks with a new study
in 2017. This new study will require collaboration with IDOT, Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC), Union Pacific Railroad
(UPRR), and Metra.
• Train Station Location Analysis
The primary delay to traffic on IL Route 83 in downtown Mount Prospect is caused by stopped trains at the train
station blocking the roadway. A detailed analysis will be performed to review the current train station location and
to examine possible new locations for the train station and the implications on adjacent crossings.
• Additional Road Crossing at Railroad Tracks
The downtown has two at -grade road crossings across the railroad tracks, IL Route 83 and Emerson Street. The
limited number of crossings can cause congestion at peak travel times of the day, especially for local residents. An
additional crossing may alleviate traffic delays to the benefit of the community. A detailed analysis will be
performed to identify one or two potential intersections to provide a new crossing (at -grade or separated) and the
implications on adjacent crossings and properties.
• Traffic Impact Study with Redevelopment at Prospect Avenue & Maple Street
The Village is considering redeveloping the south side of Prospect Avenue between Maple Street and School Street
to create new housing and commercial developments. This will only add to the need for an efficient roadway
network. A detailed analysis will be performed to determine the potential impact a new development would have
on the surrounding roadway network. The potential new development will also be taken into account when
examining the train station location and additional crossing.

• Separated Pedestrian Push Buttons at Downtown Intersections
Pedestrian signals and crosswalks exist at the three signalized intersections adjacent to the train station: IL Route
83 & Northwest Hwy, IL Route 83 & Prospect Avenue, and Northwest Hwy & Emerson Street. However, each
corner has a single pedestrian push button that puts a call into two directions. A single press of the button will
provide a Walk signal during one phase (e.g. north -south) and then another Walk signal with the next phase (e.g.
east -west) even though the pedestrian only made one crossing. This leads to inefficiencies to the traffic signal
timing and can result in vehicle delays. A detailed analysis will be performed to determine if the push buttons can
be separated, design requirements, and the effect on traffic operations.
Village staff is seeking at this time to enter into a contract with a consulting firm for preliminary design engineering
services. The study is expected to be completed this summer.
Staff requested proposals from six (6) engineering consulting firms to provide preliminary design engineering services for
the downtown transportation study. A copy of the request for proposals is enclosed. Each firm was asked to submit as
part of their proposal the following information:
1. Resumes of key personal and related experience on similar type projects
2. Summary of the firm's approach to the project
3. Staff hour estimate and cost proposal for major phases of work
4. Project schedule
The Village received three (3) submissions; firms that chose not to respond cited the complexity of the tasks related to
the train station location and additional crossing. The three consulting firms' Statement of Qualifications and Proposal
were reviewed on the basis of their understanding of our goals and their methodology to complete the study. Each firm
was also interviewed by Village staff. They were then rated (with a maximum score of 100 points) according to these
specific categories: background of firm, capacity to perform work, understanding of the project, related project experience,
project schedule, and work effort. The rankings are as follows:

The highest rated firm was Sam Schwartz Consulting LLC of Chicago, Illinois (Sam Schwartz). Sam Schwartz has put
together a very strong project team with experience working with railroad agencies including UPRR, Metra, and ICC. They
also have a strong knowledge of the interconnectivity between railroad and traffic signal operations. In addition, they
have a unique understanding of relevant roadway systems as they recently completed the traffic signal timing
modifications in the downtown for the Village and IDOT. These attributes distinguish Sam Schwartz as the best qualified
consultant for this proposed project.
Cost proposals were also requested from all the consultants. Analysis of cost proposals is summarized in Table 2 below:

Staff estimated 400 hours to complete the study at an approximate cost of $50,000.00 ($125 per hour).
The lowest cost proposal was submitted by Hampton, Lenzini, & Renwick Engineering, Inc. (HLR) of Elgin, Illinois. As
previously indicated, it is the opinion of staff that Sam Schwartz submitted a more qualitative proposal. Furthermore, the
cost difference between these two (2) lowest cost submittals (HLR and Sam Schwartz) is only 4.6% ($2,164). Staff finds
that Sam Schwartz' work effort is reasonable for the scope of work proposed (381) and their average hourly rate ($124)
is competitive.

Exhibit B
General Scope of Work
Agency: Village of Mount Prospect
Project: Downtown Transportation Study
Location: Roadway, Railroad & Pedestrian Systems around the Mount Prospect Train Station
A key component of the Mount Prospect Strategic Plan is to partner with appropriate government
agencies to resolve troublesome intersection issues. One such area that has received attention in recent
years is the downtown. There are many modes of transportation that share this small space that has
resulted in congestion concerns. Six closely -spaced, interconnected traffic signals look to efficiently
move vehicles on high volume roadways including IL Route 83, Northwest Highway (US 14), and Central
Road. The Union Pacific Railroad has three tracks running through Mount Prospect with a train station
located between IL Route 83 and Emerson Street. In addition, over seventy trains travel through the
Village daily and there are four at -grade road crossings on the Northwest Line. And finally, with many
businesses and a train station in the downtown, pedestrians and bicyclists play an important part in the
community's vitality.
Last year the Village commissioned a report that began to look at opportunities to reduce congestion,
improve mobility, and enhance safety. One key accomplishment was reviewing and modifying the
traffic signal timing programs to better reflect today's conditions. The changes, made with the
partnership of IDOT, have improved traffic flow and reduced delays. Building on the report, the Village
wishes to complete three tasks with this study.
1. Train Station Location Analysis
The primary delay to traffic on IL Route 83 in downtown Mount Prospect is caused by stopped trains at
the train station blocking the roadway. Can the train station be relocated to a new location between
Central Road and Mount Prospect Road so that the gates at IL Route 83, Central Road and Mount
Prospect Road (and Emerson Street if practical) do not remain down when a train is stopped at the
station? A detailed analysis is to be performed to examine possible locations for the train station and
the implications on adjacent crossings. Coordination with the ICC, IDOT, Union Pacific and Metra will be
critical to the success of this task. Work is to also include preliminary layouts for a building, parking
lot(s), and access to the road network. Right-of-way constraints and topography challenges will also
need to be identified and preliminary estimates of costs are to be provided.
2. Additional Road Crossing at Railroad Tracks
The downtown has two at -grade road crossings across the railroad tracks, IL Route 83 and Emerson
Street. The limited number of crossings can cause congestion at peak travel times of the day, especially
for local residents. An additional crossing (at -grade or separated) may alleviate traffic delays to the
benefit of the community. It should be noted the Village is considering redeveloping the south side of
Prospect Avenue between Maple Street and School Street to create new housing and commercial
developments. This will only add to the need for an efficient roadway network. A detailed analysis is to
be performed to identify one or two potential intersections to provide a new crossing. Coordination
with the ICC, IDOT, Union Pacific and Metra will be critical to the success of this task. Discussion on the
impact of existing crossings is to be included in this task. Right-of-way constraints and topography
challenges will also need to be identified and preliminary estimates of costs are to be provided.

3. Separated Pedestrian Push Buttons at Downtown Intersections
Pedestrian signals and crosswalks exist at the three signalized intersections adjacent to the train station:
IL Route 83 & Northwest Hwy, IL Route 83 & Prospect Avenue, and Northwest Hwy & Emerson Street.
However, each corner has a single pedestrian push button that puts a call into two directions. This leads
to inefficiencies to the traffic signal timing and can result in vehicle delays. The Village wishes to explore
the possibility of installing two push buttons at each corner that each operates a single direction. A
detailed analysis is to be performed to determine what material modifications are to be made at each
intersection and in the traffic signal cabinets. Coordination with IDOT will be important. Preliminary
estimates of cost for design engineering and construction are to be provided.
The contract awarded to the selected consultant will be for professional services to complete Phase I
Engineering for the three tasks described above. It is our expectation this study will provide clear
direction on ways to enhance mobility along the different transportation systems in the downtown
which can, in turn, encourage economic development and growth.
The Village of Mount Prospect appreciates your interest in this project. Any questions regarding this
