Information
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 three
closely spaced intersections involving Rand Road (US 12), Illinois Route 83 and Kensington Road. The traffic-
signalized intersections form a triangle that experiences operational issues on a daily basis. Long delays to get
through the intersection is a common complaint from motorists. As a result, nearby local streets experience
cut through traffic on a daily basis. Timing adjustments and small road improvements have been made over
the years with minor improvement. The Village of Mount Prospect is committed to developing a plan that will
provide significant enhancements to the transportation system that will benefit motorists, pedestrians,
bicyclists, nearby businesses, and our residents. The intended study will include collecting current traffic data,
analyzing the transportation network using traffic modeling software, creating multiple conceptual plans for
discussion, and moving through a community-involved process to determine a preferred plan.
Intersection improvements are just one goal of this study. The recently accepted Rand Road Corridor
Plan provides direction on improving many different facets of the area. As suggested by the Rand Road
Corridor Plan, this intersection study will also include a comprehensive analysis of roadway improvements,
access management along the roadways, property-to-property access connections, roadway lighting and
drainage improvements, and pedestrian/bicycle infrastructure enhancements. The limits of study will include
the triangle intersection and extend in each direction to nearby streets and driveways, including intersection
safety studies at Highland Street & Route 83 and Highland Street & Rand Road. The study will also take into
consideration the traffic impact from adjacent properties including Randhurst Village. Collaboration with
nearby businesses, residents and motorists as well as the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) will be
critical in the success of the study.
Village staff will follow the formal process to complete a Phase I Engineering Study for roadway improvements
that includes a right-of-way survey, topographic survey, data collection, alternatives analysis, drainage
analysis, environmental survey, and lighting review all incorporated into a Project Development Report.
Completion of a Phase I Engineering Study approved by IDOT will make the project eligible for state and
federal funding for final design engineering (Phase II) and construction (Phase III). Unfortunately, most grants
no longer pay for a Phase I Engineering Study and IDOT has no near-term plans to improve this intersection.
The Congestion Mitigation & Air Quality Program (CMAQ), Illinois Transportation Enhancement Program
(ITEP), and Surface Transportation Program (STP) are some of the programs that provide up to 80% funding
(Phase II and III only) to improve transportation systems. The Village has been successful in the past securing

BoardDocs® ProPage 2 of 3
federal funding for transportation projects and staff will be prepared to apply for funding when there are
future calls for projects.
Village staff is seeking at this time to enter into a contract with a consulting firm for Phase I Engineering
services. The study is expected to be completed by the end of 2019 but will include a status presentation to
the Village Board of Trustees in the spring of 2019. Funds for this project have been allocated in the 2018
Village Budget.

Discussion:
Patrick Engineering of Lisle, Illinois has put together a very strong project team with extensive experience
working on complex Phase I Engineering studies. Their proposal is thorough and anticipates the many
different tasks to complete a study that can smoothly move to Phase II Design Engineering. They also have a
working relationship with IDOT and the necessary skills to engage business owners and the community
throughout the process. Village staff recently worked with Patrick Engineering on the Downtown
Transportation Plan and found their work to be proficient. Their project team also includes subcontractors Sam
Schwartz Engineering, Gewalt Hamilton Associates, and Teska Associates. (Teska Associates was the
consultant for the Rand Road Corridor Plan). Village staff has a good working relationship will all of these

companies. It is Village’s staff opinion that Patrick Engineering understands the goals of the study, has
provided a thorough proposal based on their experience, and will provide the best product at an appropriate
number of hours dedicated to the study. Village staff estimated 2300 hours to complete the study at an
approximate cost of $287,500.00 ($125 per hour).

Reference: Rand Road (US 12), IL Route 83, and Kensington Road Intersection Phase I Engineering Services
Dear Mr. Wulbecker:
Thank you for including us on the shortlist for the Rand/IL 83/Kensington Intersection Phase I Study. We are very
excited about the prospect of providing these professional engineering services for the Village of Mount Prospect
(Village) on this important regional project. We feel that we would be the best choice to perform this project and
bring great benefit and value to the Village for the following reasons:
Our Targeted Experience
The staff at Patrick are experts in Phase I Engineering and have achieved 38 individual Design Approvals for
Phase I Studies since mid-2008 on State and federally-funded local projects all right here in the Northeastern
Illinois area (list included in Section 3). Our Project Manager, Jarrod Cebulski, previously worked at IDOT as
Head of Consultant Studies where he oversaw all the consultant-prepared Phase I Studies in District One.
We recently completed an Access Management Plan, which included Property-to-Property Connections in a
commercial area along Dundee Road in Palatine, which is very similar to what will be needed along Rand Road.
We recently completed an Intersection Traffic and Safety Study for the intersection of Prince Crossing Road
and Hawthorne Lane for the City of West Chicago, which is similar to what will be required at the Highland
Street intersections with IL 83 and Rand Road.
Our Exceptional Team
Gewalt Hamilton will provide survey, traffic counts, and traffic pattern analysis | They previously prepared an
Intersection Design Study at this location to add right turn lanes along Kensington Road, so they already have
survey data that will only need to be updated and they understand the area traffic patterns.
Sam Schwartz will provide traffic analysis and bike/ped planning | They recently analyzed this intersection and
coordinated with IDOT within the last few years, which allows our team to start with this knowledge.
Teska Associates will lead the stakeholder outreach program | They were part of the team that prepared the
Rand Road Corridor Study in 2017, so they will provide excellent continuity with the stakeholders.
We have recently performed work for the Village, as part of the Downtown Traffic Study, for which we assisted in
the evaluation of ways to reduce congestion and delays along Northwest Highway, which included options of
extending the Metra platform and an additional potential roadway crossing of the UP Railroad. With Patrick as the
Study Lead, we will be able to take a fresh look at this long-studied intersection, while at the same time benefit
from the history that our subconsultants bring to our team.
We appreciate this opportunity to present our proposal. Should you have any questions or require additional
information, please do not hesitate to contact our proposed Project Manager, Jarrod Cebulski, PE at 630.795.7468
or jcebulski@patrickco.com.

The additional railroad work and sidewalk curb ramp details resulted in the need for
a pick-up topographic survey. Patrick’s crew surveyed all portions of the multi-use
path and roadway needed to develop compliant and constructible sidewalk curb ramp
details. Patrick also used LiDAR survey to get full topographic data in the area of the
railroad crossing, without needing to enter the railroad ROW.
Patrick performed a detailed site visit of the project area and inspected the existing
pavement, curb and gutter, pedestrian accommodations, and drainage systems for
the roadway. This inspection allowed us to determine the limits of patching, curb and
use replacement, and other required
gutter replacement, sidewalk or multi-
improvements. Patrick used an innovative method for storing the pavement patching
and curb and gutter replacement locations. Our engineers were equipped with GPS
enabled iPads in the field, and were able to store the approximate coordinates of
these locations within a GIS program, along with a picture of the deficient area. These
coordinates were then transferred directly into our CADD files, and allowed us to
uantify the required patching and curb and gutter
sketch in the limits and q
replacement much quicker and with a higher degree of accuracy than previous hand-
sketching methods.
Microstation basefiles were created for this project using GIS data received from the
Village, along with data gathered from aerials and existing plans. Utility coordination
was also required due to the Village’s proposed improvements. A NGPL high pressure
natural gas pipeline crossed the project as well, and permitting was required for work
to be done within the NGPL owned ROW.
After a successful letting, Patrick continued to lead the project through Phase III
Construction Engineering. Patrick’s Resident Engineer (RE) completed all
documentation required by IDOT, including keeping a detailed field book which
described day-to-day construction operations. Patrick completed inspection of all
work done by the contractor to ensure it followed all applicable standards and IDOT
specifications. All work was measured in-place to determine the quantities for which
the contractor would be paid. All quantities were quickly inputted into ICORS in order
to allow a swift close-out of the project. Patrick’s RE was quick to respond to all
concerns and issues brought to his attention by residents, the Village, and the
contractor. This constant communication ensured a smooth project, and that the
contractor agreed on all final quantities within weeks of construction completion.
After milling operations were completed, the RE determined that the remaining
pavement was in good condition, and that the surface cracks seen during Patrick’s
initial inspection did not warrant the planned proposed full-depth patching. This
allowed the Village to save additional money, and resulted in a final construction cost
that was 5.6% under the winning bid.

Patrick self-performed a topographic survey and two pavement cores. It was the

cores were used to confirm the required resurfacing and patching depths and the
overall condition of the entire pavement structure. 79th Street had existing passing
zones within the project area, and a survey of the centerline was used to determine
if these still met current design standards. The existing profile did not, in fact, allow

for any passing zones in the project area, and alternate pavement markings were
proposed to reflect that passing is no longer allowed on the road. Guardrail warrants
were also performed to determine if the existing length of need was still required.
The results of these warrants allowed for a decrease in the length of the proposed
guardrail. Finally, turning movement investigations were performed at each side
street throughout the project area. It was determined that certain side streets did
not allow for turning movements for some preferred vehicles, but that the turning
movements for these side streets were acceptable for the minimum design vehicle as
mandated by IDOT. By not widening the side street radii pavement, the Village was
able to save money on construction costs, and also didn’t preclude the project from
LAFO processing. If the widening work had been pursued, a PESA would also have
been required.
Patrick performed a detailed site visit of the project area and inspected the existing
pavement, curb and gutter, pedestrian accommodations, and drainage systems for
the roadway. This inspection allowed us to determine the limits of patching, curb and
gutter replacement, sidewalk replacement, ditch regrading, and other required
improvements. Patrick used an innovative method for storing the pavement patching
and curb and gutter replacement locations. Our engineers were equipped with GPS
enabled iPads in the field, and were able to store the approximate coordinates of
these locations within a GIS program, along with a picture of the deficient area. These
coordinates were then transferred directly into our CADD files, and allowed us to draw
in the limits and quantify the required patching and curb and gutter replacement
much more efficiently and with a higher degree of accuracy than previous hand-
sketching methods.
Patrick developed resurfacing plan sheets using the topographic survey, inspection
data, aerial data, as-built AutoCad files, and GIS data. These sheets were incorporated
into a Phase I submittal and the Phase II contract plans. The plan sheets were
combined with all other Phase I documentation required by IDOT, and submitted
quickly in order to receive Phase I design approval in a timely manner. This kept the
project on schedule for the planned April 2017 letting date. Patrick developed
contract specifications in the required IDOT format, addressed all contract plans and
specifications comments, and submitted these final deliverables in time to meet the
April letting date. Concurrently, Patrick also performed all required utility
coordination in the area, and submitted a permit application with the Cook County
Department of Transportation and Highways in order to replace a County owned
detector loop within the project’s resurfacing limits. The final engineer’s construction
estimate for the project was $452,754 and the winning bid was $419,900, only 7%
percent lower the estimate and below the Village’s programmed budget for the
project.

Village of Northbrook
Northbrook. Cut-through traffic, especially in neighborhoods along Midway Road and
Voltz Road, was a primary concern.
In order to establish existing traffic conditions, GHA conducted traffic counts over
three separate time periods on three different days, to ensure changes in traffic
volumes and shifts in travel patterns were thoroughly understood. GHA also used
video data collection units to observe operations at the railroad crossing on Dundee
Road between Ballantree Drive and Midway Road.
Future conditions were projected to develop a baseline traffic volume for testing
various scenarios. Six models were created to analyze the future traffic volumes of
the area based on the proposed developments. GHA looked at projected impacts of
each project individually and then both developments together. Analyses were
conducted of each scenario with consideration for the IDOT roadway improvements
along Lake Cook, Waukegan, and Willow Roads, as well as additional geometric and
operational improvements which could be implemented as part of the development
projects.
The final Traffic Report outlined recommendations for improvements to
accommodate future traffic associated with growth and development, enhance
pedestrian mobility, and improve operational safety in the study area.

4 | Project Understanding
The Village of Mount Prospect (Village) is seeking to address a longtime transportation issue within an area of their
community that is critical to their economic vitality. Just north of the Village’s downtown is the Randhurst Village
commercial area, in the midst of vast residential neighborhoods. At the southwest corner of the mall is the complex
Rand Road/Illinois Route 83/Kensington Road triangle intersection. The three separate intersections are in very close
proximity to each other and operate off one single controller under the jurisdiction of the Illinois Department of
Transportation (IDOT). Currently, the traffic signal control is maxed-out, squeezing every available second for all the
various conflicting traffic movements that it serves. There have been many previous efforts targeted at improving
this intersection, dating back to the left turn lanes added along Rand
Road in the late 1980’s, the IDOT investigation into ring roads in the
1990’s, the right turn lanes added along Kensington in the early 2010’s,
and the recent Rand Road Corridor Plan approved just last year.
However, more timing adjustments and auxiliary lane improvements
can no longer provide discernable benefits and the time has come for
an in-depth coordinated investigation into comprehensive capital
infrastructure improvements that can be identified, evaluated, and
implemented. The influence area of the triangle intersection is far-
reaching, and a multi-pronged approach to safety, capacity, and access
control under the umbrella of a Phase I Study following the IDOT
process is necessary to provide meaningful benefits to motorists, Complex Rand/IL83/Kensington
Triangle Intersection
pedestrians, bicyclists, area businesses, and Village residents. Patrick is
excited to have the opportunity to assist the Village in embarking upon
this challenge toward improving the quality of life of the constituents of the Village of Mount Prospect.
Based on our firm’s experience in performing Phase I Studies for IDOT and Local Agencies, we have developed a
tested process that we have found to be most effective for accomplishing the project goals. We will do so in a manner
that expedites the project schedule, is compliant with IDOT project development procedures, engages
stakeholders in a meaningful manner, and ensures eligibility for future federal funding. We will follow this process
for the Rand/IL83/Kensington Phase I Study, which will be a high priority project for our firm. A general step-by-step
description of this process follows:
Project Approach
Patrick’s team will begin the Phase I Study by meeting with the Village of Mount Prospect to ensure we have a clear
understanding of the objectives for the project. We will perform a detailed review all of the available planning or
scoping information provided by the Village before we begin our work. The team understands that continuous and
thorough communication with our Village liaison is the key to success for the Preliminary Engineering process. A
regular, recurring project coordination meeting with the Village will be established to ensure an active project
dialogue is maintained throughout the engineering process.
The goals for managing this project will include producing project documents that are of the highest quality;
designing a safe and economical facility that meets the project goals established by the Village and meets IDOT
design standards; keeping all involved entities informed of the project status; satisfying all requirements and
approvals necessary to ensure the project is federally-eligible; and achieving stakeholder buy-in, all which will be
vital to the success of this study.
Prior to the start of the contract, a project-specific QA/QC plan will be developed. The QA/QC Plan will include our
existing QA/QC policies supplemented with project-specific procedures. Checklists for each of the work tasks,
modified to meet the project requirements, will be included, as well as QA/QC sign-off forms for each milestone
deliverable. The project schedule, scope of work, budget, estimated construction cost, project guidelines and
standards will be included in the QA/QC plan.

Once we receive formal notice to proceed, we will have an internal kick-

schedule, budget, QA/QC plan, and reporting procedures will be discussed.
The project schedule will include interim dates where various tasks need

accurate cost estimating are important aspects of all preliminary
engineering projects; therefore, significant emphasis will be placed on cost
effective-solutions. All internal QA/QC comments will be addressed before
submittal of any documents. We routinely perform self-audits of our own work, in addition to achieving high results
on audits done by our clients.
Data Collection
An initial early action item on this project will be the identification of data collection needs such as traffic counts,
traffic projections, crash data, and the ground survey. Our subconsultant, Gewalt-Hamilton Associates (GHA), will
provide key support in these areas. Given their recent project work at this triangle intersection a few years ago, they
already have a ground survey base from which to build upon. This will be of great value to the Village, as an entire
new survey will not be required, but rather a pick-up survey for areas that have changed. Our survey scope will
include the influence area of the triangle intersection proper, as well as the Highland Road intersections with IL 83
and Rand Road, due to the targeted safety studies requested by the Village in the study scope. The survey will include
all roadway and topographic features, as well as drainage information and cross-sections. In addition to the
topographic data, we will also perform fieldwork to determine the extents of the existing right-of-way (ROW).
Early submittal of the environmental survey request (ESR) forms to IDOT will
be important for maintaining the schedule of the overall project
development process. Patrick will begin to work immediately with Village
staff to adequately define an area on exhibits and determine the extent of
resource surveys needed for the preliminary engineering studies (sample at
right). Patrick will utilize Sidwell maps and plans from previous projects to
roughly estimate the existing ROW, and then estimate proposed ROW needs
based on what we already know of the anticipated scope of the proposed
improvement. We will be sure to consider the need for any detention so
that ESR addenda are not required later, which could delay the study.
GHA will obtain current traffic counts at key intersections within the study area.
The counts will be performed via Miovision video data acquisition for a 24-hour
period. The counts will be performed at the following eleven locations (as shown
on the exhibit to the right):
Rand at IL 83
IL 83 at Kensington

The critical time periods will be isolated for analysis, including weekday AM and weekday PM. Saturday mid-day
counts can be added to the scope at the Village’s discretion (to capture peak shopping periods of the area) however,
our estimation is that they will not be larger than the PM peak period that we intend to use for the worst-case
analysis. We will perform a couple strategic license plate surveys, that will capture motorists making right turns along
eastbound Kensington Road into the neighborhood west of IL 83, and also at locations where these vehicles would
exit the neighborhood along IL 83 south of Kensington. These survey counts will allow us to accurately quantify the
cut-through traffic along the west leg of Kensington Road related to the neighborhood to the south so that we can
address these issues with countermeasures, restrictions, or carefully located traffic calming techniques.
We will also coordinate with Randhurst Village to obtain any usage and/or traffic data that they may have so that
we can establish and analyze the traffic patterns to and from the mall area and identify any needs or issues related
to mall access along the roadways located within the identified study area.
All counts will be compiled and design year 2040 traffic projections will be obtained from the Chicago Metropolitan
Agency for Planning (CMAP). The CMAP traffic projections will be converted to appropriate design hour volumes for
use in establishing the traffic patterns within the study area, with special attention to those to and from Randhurst
Village and along the west leg of Kensington Road.
Traffic signal timings will be obtained from the IDOT Bureau of Traffic for the Rand/IL83/Kensington triangle
intersection. Our subconsultant, Sam Schwartz already has this data from IDOT as part of their recent effort in
optimizing the traffic operations of the triangle, so they are highly familiar with the operations of these three
intersections and the associated traffic signal timing.
Data Analyses
Patrick will define the design criteria to be used for the study and secure Village approval prior to beginning the
analysis and design work. We will then obtain crash data and perform the crash analysis and the capacity analysis at
the key intersections and segments within the study limits. The Crash Analysis will be prepared by reviewing and
analyzing crash data for the last five years and preparing collision diagrams. We will identify crash patterns and
critical crash locations, and recommend appropriate remedial countermeasures to be incorporated into the project’s
preliminary design.
Specific Intersection Safety Studies will be performed at the Highland Street
intersections with IL 83 and Rand Road, due to specific issues identified at
each. These safety studies will evaluate items such as prevailing speeds, sight
distance, gap analysis, and average delays for vehicles on the stop-controlled
approaches. Both intersections are stop-controlled along Highland Street, the
minor roadway, and could potentially experience difficulty while turning onto
or crossing the major roadway. During our site visit, we stood at the stop bar
on Highland Street where the driver would be and looked north and south
along the main roads of IL 83 and Rand Road, and observed very limited sight
distance with which to judge gaps in traffic to use to turn onto the road. A

additional auxiliary turning lanes, traffic signalization, and/or traffic calming
measures to reduce cut-through traffic.
The traffic analysis will utilize Highway Capacity Software (HCS) for standalone intersections and Synchro for network
analysis of several signals. Sam Schwartz will perform a traffic sequence analysis of the main triangle intersection,
analyze the feasibility of adding phases within the current controller, and investigate the effects of changing the
phasing of the Rand-IL83-Kensington signal operation on adjacent signals along the corridor. Sam Schwartz will
research the latest in signal technology to see if additional phases can be added to the overall signal cycle for the
triangle, such as right turn overlaps to reduce vehicle delays and improve efficiency or pedestrian phases to

improve safety. We will model different improvement scenarios with added through and/or auxiliary turn lanes to
provide the quantitative analysis necessary to improve the operation of the roadways for the long-term. We will
verify if intersection movement restrictions or traffic calming measures would be prudent to discourage cut-through
traffic in the neighborhoods, especially along Kensington Road west of IL 83. Improving the operations and capacity
of the major intersections in the study area should inherently reduce the potential for cut through traffic without
the need for any additional restrictions.
We are aware of the IDOT Strategic Regional Arterial (SRA) Study for the Rand Road Corridor of November 1994
(which is still the version used by IDOT District 1) that recommends a continuous six-lane cross-section for Rand
Road. While it is unlikely that this study will
recommend such a major improvement along
the corridor, there may be some key areas where
additional through and turning lanes could have
a major effect in improving operations within the
study area. More recently, the Rand Road
Corridor Study of 2017 identified several other
options to improve operations and safety at the
triangle intersection, which they termed the
“North Cluster.” Their most impactful long-term
improvement involved removing a portion of
Kensington Road, thereby cutting off its
continuity through the triangle area. From a
traffic engineering standpoint, removing the continuity of the lowest classification roadway through a highly
congested area is a valid textbook solution that merits further consideration as part of this Phase I Study. We will
further analyze this alternative, among others, and solicit stakeholder input, in order to make informed decisions
with the Village for how to address the recurrent issues that motorists face every day at this major crossing.
In order to summarize and document these quantitative analyses, Patrick will prepare a Technical Memo to that will
review existing and proposed conditions for the alternatives evaluated and outline our recommendations for the
preferred alternative for the Village’s review. This memo will be submitted to the Village and can be used to
coordinate with IDOT and the FHWA, as necessary at this stage of the study, as a stand-alone document with
supporting documentation. This document will provide the project scoping information and supporting analysis that
will be the basis for review and collaboration and used to define the transportation problems to be solved to allow
us to focus on a proposed project solution.
In order to supplement the preliminary data analysis process, a project photo log will be prepared based on a field
visit to the project site. The route survey will be processed and base maps will be developed in the latest Bentley
Power Geopak V8i SELECTSeries 4 MicroStation mapping files. Finally, we will add all information, such as street
names, right-of-way info, property lines, property owners’ names, etc. to the existing topography to provide a clear
and accurate aerial mosaic for use in the development of project exhibits for stakeholder coordination.
Alternative Geometric Studies
Once the alternatives Technical Memo is approved, the detailed preliminary engineering geometrics (plan, profile,
typical sections, and Intersection Design Studies) will be finalized and templated cross-sections and right-of-way
requirements will be determined. A lighting layout and photometrics will be developed. A detailed 30% level
construction cost estimate will be completed at this time. Any project Design Exceptions will be identified and
presented at a monthly FHWA meeting, where approval will be sought on the scope and logical termini of the study.
Patrick has represented numerous agencies very effectively at FHWA meetings for many of our past projects. We
have excellent relationships with Bureau of Local Roads staff, with whom we have worked for many years on
numerous highway projects, as well as FHWA staff. There is a mutual respect and a trust factor is immediately
developed when we represent our clients at these meetings. We understand how important a step this is in finalizing

the overall scope and geometric details so that the project can proceed forward in the development process. Prior
to the FHWA meeting, we have learned that it is best to meet beforehand with IDOT staff to make sure that we are
on the same page in terms of the materials being presented to the FHWA. Patrick comes well-prepared to these
meetings with a detailed agenda, as well as all appropriate backup data and information. This preparation is vital to
the success of these meetings so that decisions can be made at the first presentation and we do not need to come
back and attend follow-up monthly meetings to secure agreement on scope, limits, and processing.
Complete Streets
The multi-modal aspect of this project is vital, especially along the Rand
Road Corridor, where needs exist to provide better and safer
accommodations for pedestrians and bicyclists. During our site visit, we
observed a man in a motorized wheelchair attempting to cross the north
leg of Rand Road (see photo to right). As part of the study, Sam Schwartz
will review the existing pedestrian and bicyclist infrastructure, identify
deficiencies, and recommend ways to enhance safety and create a

evaluated for the study area and built into the project from the start.
Access Management
Given the context within the study area, a contributor to the turbulence in the traffic stream and the chronic safety
issues along these roadways is the large number of random access locations to the busy high volume roadways. It is
appropriate to perform an access management study effort as part of this Phase I. Access management is good for
business. The FHWA has done studies showing that business has improved in areas where access control measures,
such as barrier medians and access consolidation, have resulted in safer conditions along the roadways that serve
these business. Patrick has experience performing Access management and property-to-property connection
plans and coordinating them with business stakeholders. We will prepare this study by making an inventory of all
of the access points along the study routes, with an emphasis on Rand Road. We will assign a level of usage to each
of the driveways, to assess their effects on the main roadways. Property lines will
be drawn on exhibits to determine which businesses may already be connected.
How we do it!
We will then identify areas where access connections can be made to develop a
property-to-property access plan for the study area. This will focus on pulling full

Environmental Processing
As the project geometrics and access control plan are being developed, the results of the environmental surveys are
becoming available. This includes biological, cultural, and wetland resources and recognized environmental concerns
(REC’s) based on the special waste preliminary environmental site assessment (PESA) present in the project area.
Should any sensitive resources be identified, we will develop or revisit the proposed geometry to avoid impacts to
them during the design process. Should impacts be unavoidable, efforts towards impact minimization and mitigation
will commence, in that order. While the biological and cultural clearances come from the IDOT ESR process, the PESA
will be a joint process by IDOT for any State routes, such as Rand Road and IL 83, and our subconsultant, Huff & Huff
for any non-State routes. Our PESA limits will generally include Kensington Road from Main Street to Elmhurst
Avenue. Huff & Huff will also review the study area for the presence of any wetlands and provide a wetlands memo
sign-off or delineations. The general limits for wetland evaluation will include:
Rand Road from Wedgewood to Business Center Drive
Kensington Road from Main Street to Elmhurst Avenue and 500 feet east of the Kensington and Rand
Road intersection
IL 83 (Main Street) 500 feet north and 500 feet south of the Kensington Road and IL 83 intersection
Highland Street and IL 83 intersection and Highland Street and Rand Road intersection
Based on our site visit, and review of the National Wetland Inventory map, wetlands do not appear to be present
within the project corridor.
Stakeholder Involvement
Patrick’s subconsultant, Teska Associates will lead a Public Outreach Program including at least two public meetings
to engage affected stakeholders, solicit input from the community, and keep interested people apprised of the study.
Teska Associates led the community engagement for the Rand Road Corridor Plan. This included a community
survey, comment section on a project website, open houses, stakeholder interviews, and input from a project
Steering Committee. Our program will also include a
project website. Teska designed and hosted a
project website during the Rand Road Corridor Plan
effort. Although the website has since been
removed from the public domain, it would be
brought back for the purposes of this assignment.
The graphics to the right demonstrate how the
website would look once we reenter it into the
public domain. The website would include the same
functions as before, including a public input tool,
Example Rand Road Website Mock-up
calendar, documents and other features

(
Our team also recommends a social media presence to reach a larger constituency for effective stakeholder
engagement. Randhurst Village’s facebook page alone has 4,600 likes. Teska will maximize the project’s digital
presence by posting project updates to the website and a project facebook page. We will cross promote with other
local facebook pages, such as the Village of Mount Prospect and Randhurst Village pages, to maximize our visibility
to the community and to promote the project.
Our recommendation is for Public Meeting #1 to be a pop-up event. As an alternative to a traditional public meeting,
which may not get a lot of participants, we can attend a preexisting event in the community, such as the Village’s
Farmers Market or during a popular event at the bustling Randhurst Village. Preliminary design materials would be
presented along with an engaging activity designed to obtain input from the community to solicit input regarding
transportation issues and problems to be solved. Feedback would be quantified and presented back to staff/IDOT as
well as on the project website and social media.

Public Meeting #2 would be a community Open
House. Prior to a previously planned meeting,
such as a Village Board meeting, an Open House
event would be conducted at Village Hall. The
Open House would present draft final materials
to the community (such as shown in the exhibit

designed to obtain input from the interested
stakeholders. Following the Open House, the
project team would make a formal presentation
to Village Board. Input would be documented and
applied towards the final plan report.

pedestrian access would be topics of these conversations and would be used
to inform the concept development.
As noted above, we already have a wealth of stakeholder input from the previous corridor study from which to
build upon for this upcoming study. In particular, the response data from two questions (Questions 5 and 8) from
the survey that was undertaken for the Rand Road Corridor Study are particularly relevant here:
In Question 5 “What changes to transportation networks would make you more likely to visit businesses along
the corroder”, it was reported that less intersection wait time, improved sidewalks, and improved landscaping
would get folks to shop more frequently at the businesses.
In Question 8 “Rate your overall satisfaction with driving through the area around the Kensington Road and
Rand Road Intersection” respondents were generally dissatisfied with traffic signal wait time, difficulty to get
into parking lots and a lack of pedestrian access throughout the area.
In addition, as outlined below, key public outreach themes and general community perspectives on the corridor are
summarized from viewpoints drawn primarily from stakeholder interviews.
Overall Strengths
Businesses along the corridor enjoy high visibility due in part to the setbacks that allow businesses and signage
to be close to the Rand Road right-of-way.
High traffic counts throughout the day benefit businesses and contribute to a high demand for retail space along
the corridor.
Most interviewees typically shop and eat along the corridor on a regular basis.

The Village’s active role in support of the corridor was lauded by stakeholders. In particular, participants were
appreciative of the Villages’ strong communication campaigns with residents, particularly for public works and
construction projects along Rand Road.
The variety of businesses, including stores and restaurants, along the corridor is considered an asset.
Corridor Opportunities
Creating safe and pleasant pedestrian crossings of Rand Road were noted as desired improvements to the
corridor.
Building additional transportation infrastructure to accommodate pedestrians and cyclists was considered
desirable.
Providing bus service from the downtown Metra station to the Kensington Business Center (KBC) was identified
as a need; it was noted that some commuters are seen biking from the train and thought to be heading to the
KBC.
Challenges to Rand Road
The primary concern about Rand Road was safety of pedestrians and cyclists. The corridor was not initially built
for these users.
Several residents report using side streets to avoid driving along Rand Road, especially through some of its more
congested intersections. Many noted that their familiarity with side streets and parking lots allows them to
create self-designed shortcuts.
Cars stacking to exit the Walmart create a congestion point along Rand Road, especially because it does not
have a signalized light.
Frequent congestion along Mount Prospect Road is dangerous and frustrating for motorists.
The entire corridor lacks a brand; some commercial centers are branded but the entire study area lacks a
cohesive image.

Rand Road when the regional arterial becomes an SRA. During the late 1980’s and early 1990’s property on both
sides of Rand Road at Hill Street was purchased by the Mount Prospect Park District for future recreational
needs and protection of open space. Providing access to the downtown amenities; Public Library, Village Hall,
Train Station and restaurants/ businesses will only be possible financially when the regional improvements are
approved and funded. The Rand Road Corridor plan must address the need for this pedestrian access over State
Route 12. If the area is to be pedestrian friendly and bike safe such overhead access must be a requirement for
this study. The site is located 900 feet NW of the intersection of Rand Road & Business Center Drive, also known
as Hill Street Tree Park and Gregory Park on the west side of Rand. In past time periods I worked diligently to
get property purchased to prepare for this long-term project. I was elected to the park district in 1990 and now
sit as Trustee on Mount Prospect Village Board. Currently only two official pedestrian crossings across Rand
Road are approved by IDOT. One at Mount Prospect Road and a second at Business Center Drive. Hardly the
required access to meet the requirements of a thriving non-auto transportation environment.
In addition, the Patrick staff are always available to responsibly represent the Village at any meeting with an outside
agency or member of the general public. We handle the meeting arrangements, distribute an agenda, present the
information with exhibits, and prepare the meeting summary.
Drainage
Patrick has an extensive knowledge of IDOT drainage design criteria. For drainage design, data collection will include:
Record roadway grading and drainage plans, record stormwater reports and grading and drainage plans for adjacent
developments, public and private utility plans and atlases, USGS maps and Flood Insurance Rate Maps, and flooding
records and drainage complaints. The drainage component of the Phase I Study
is prepared beginning with a review of existing drainage and development of

will be evaluated based on any increase to impervious surface. As the nearest
floodplain is over three quarters of a mile away from the project intersections,
compensatory storage will not be required. Any drainage related permits needed for this project during Phase II will
be identified with summary forms completed and included. In addition, we will evaluate existing sanitary sewer and
water main along with other utilities within the project limits for potential conflicts with sewer design.
ROW Analysis
Once the geometric designs for the main triangle intersection, and the Highland Road intersections, are developed
to an adequate level of completion, as well as drainage and environmental concerns are addressed, work will
progress regarding determining if the improvement can be built within the existing ROW or if proposed ROW or
easements will be required. Our work will be based on our determination of the existing right-of-way through found
evidence in the field, as well as recorded documents. The existing ROW in conjunction with the proposed limits of
the roadway improvements, as well as anticipated limits of construction, will allow areas of proposed right-of-way
and construction easements to be created. This will be done by developing a cross-section at 100 foot intervals along
the project to depict any widening, drainage facilities, embankment slope modifications. Maintenance of traffic will
be considered in the ROW needs determination. We will strive to minimize the proposed ROW or easements
(permanent and temporary), so that the project schedule is not extended due to extensive impacts due to the ROW
acquisition process. Short retaining walls will also be investigated to avoid any spot locations where construction
limits extrude beyond existing ROW limits or would result in impacts to parking lots, backyards, or drainage facilities.
Temporary access easements can be pursued for any off-roadway property-to-property access connections that
are agreed upon among adjacent property owners as part of the access management plan process.

Maintenance of Traffic/Constructability
Maintenance of Traffic (MOT) is something that is oftentimes overlooked during Phase I. However, if a conceptual
plan is not developed and fully vetted as part of Phase I, this could result in issues during design and construction.
The MOT plan will identify areas that: 1) Need to be included as part of the environmental surveys, 2) Could include
temporary traffic signal work at adjacent intersections, and 3) Would affect the overall project cost if additional
roadway resurfacing is required to accommodate traffic shifts. These items will all be carefully considered by
Patrick’s engineers to ensure no surprises during Phase II and III. We will rely on our construction engineers for
constructability reviews, which will include any special requirements that may be needed for construction access,
equipment storage areas, and interferences with utilities.
Utilities
Utilities will also be located and any conflicts with the proposed improvement will be identified and either avoided
or documented with the appropriate coordination performed with the utility owner (whether publicly or privately
owned), commensurate with this phase of project development. Avoidance of all utilities will expedite the overall
project; however, special attention will be given to the proximity of different utilities to each other, such as water
main and storm or sanitary sewer. Patrick’s plan will be to obtain detailed location information as early on as possible
in the study process, coordinate with the utility owners to confirm this information, and then design around the
facilities, where possible. If avoidance is not possible, conflicts will be documented in the Phase I Report and
coordinated with the owners, so that Phase II can start out by discussing relocation plans and timeframes. In this
manner, we should avoid all potential delays associated with utilities.
Accurate Cost Estimating

estimate accurate unit prices for the various project items. As a result, our
engineer’s estimates are often within a few percentage points of the final bid
prices on many of our projects.
Project Development Report
Once the public involvement activities are complete and all individual discipline activities have been developed to a
relative level of completion, the draft Project Development Report (PDR) will be prepared for formal review and
processing by the Village. The report will address the description of existing conditions, the Purpose and Need for
the Project, a detailed description of the proposed improvements, and a summary of local and public involvement.
The report will also address lighting, erosion and sediment control, utilities, ADA issues, aesthetic enhancements,
traffic maintenance during construction, and maintenance considerations. An accurate construction cost estimate
will be provided. Once all comments have been addressed, Patrick will complete the final PDR for the improvement.
Based on our extensive past experience in working with IDOT, both at the district and central office levels, we will
be able to expedite processing and provide a PDR that addresses all issues that IDOT will be looking for the first time,
so that multiple reviews are not necessary and an expedient process can occur towards final Phase I Design Approval.
Finally, any commitments made by the Village concerning the project will be documented and clearly presented
in the project report, with sufficient detail of what is to be done to meet the commitment, who is responsible for
each commitment, and when the action associated with the commitment must be performed.

General Scope of Work
Agency: Village of Mount Prospect
Project: Rand-IL83-Kensington Phase I Engineering Study
Location: Area around the three closely spaced intersections involving Rand Road, Illinois Route 83 &
Kensington Road
A key component of the Mount Prospect Strategic Plan is to partner with appropriate government
agencies to resolve troublesome intersection issues. One such area is the three closely spaced
intersections involving Rand Road (US 12), Illinois Route 83 and Kensington Road. The traffic-signalized
intersections form a triangle that experiences operational issues on a daily basis. Long delays and poor
vehicle progression are common complaints from motorists. Timing adjustments have been made over
the years with minor improvement. The Village of Mount Prospect is committed to developing and
implementing a plan that will provide significant enhancements to the transportation system that will
benefit motorists, pedestrians, bicyclists, nearby businesses, and our residents.
Rand Road (US 12), Illinois Route 83 and Kensington Road east of Illinois Route 83 are under the
jurisdiction of the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT). Kensington Road west of Illinois Route 83
is under local jurisdiction. The traffic signals at the three closely spaced intersections are owned and
maintained by IDOT. They are also interconnected with the traffic signals at Kensington Road & Randhurst
Mall, Illinois Route 83 & Randhurst Mall, Illinois Route 83 & Euclid Avenue, Illinois Route 83 & Camp
McDonald Road, and Rand Road & Euclid Avenue.
The Rand Road Corridor Study was approved by the Village Board of Trustees in 2017 and they have made this
project a priority. We encourage you to become familiar with the corridor study (Chapter 7 in particular). It
can be viewed at the following web page: https://www.mountprospect.org/home/showdocument?id=339.
Intersection improvements are just one goal of this Phase I Engineering study. It will also include a
comprehensive analysis of roadway improvements, access management along the roadways, property-
to-property access connections, and pedestrian/bicycle infrastructure enhancements. The limits of study
along Rand Road are to be from Wedgewood Lane to Business Center Drive. The limits of study along
Illinois Route 83 are to be from Euclid Avenue to Highland Street. The limits of study along Kensington
Road are to be from Elmhurst Avenue to Wheeling Road.
At a minimum, the following tasks are to be included in the scope of services. Additional tasks, at the
consul
1. Complete all tasks required of the federal process to acquire Phase I Engineering approval.
2. Become familiar with the operation of the intersections that form the triangle including the traffic
signal timing.
3. Perform intersection safety studies at Highland Street & Illinois Route 83 and Highland Street & Rand
Road.
4. Analyze the traffic patterns to and from Randhurst Village in order to improve efficiency.
5. Analyze the traffic patterns along Kensington Road west of Illinois Route 83 in order to reduce cut
through traffic in the neighborhood.
6. Develop an access management plan for the study area with an emphasis along Rand Road.
