Information
The 2019 Strategic Plan identifies construction of a passenger elevator addition to the EmersonStreet Parking Deck
as a high priority initiative.
The purpose of this proposed project is to improve access to parkingfor the Downtown Mount Prospect i
District in general, and for a proposed square-foot restaurant nr idistrict bounded by
Northwest Highway., Busse Avenue,, and Route (Elmhurst Road/ iStreet) in particular.
feasibility y performed in 2016 identified the southwest corner of the deck as the mostviable location for a new
elevator. For structural reasons, the elevator will have to be constructed on Village-ownedproperty outside the
existing footprint the parking deck. The attachedis the approximate location.
To further develop this project, it is necessary to developplans and specifications suitable for public bidding. To this
end, staff developedit request for proposals (RFP) to secure requisite engineeringservices. In addition
developing i c , the RFP also solicits construction engineering andinspection services necessary o
effectively monitor the construction phase of the project. A copy of this RFP is attached.
RFP Results
Technical and cost proposals were received from Ir Parking Consultantsof Elgin, Illinois and Desman Design
Management of Chicago, Illinois. Both of these firms specializein the niche industry of parking deck design

Discussion
Although both firms indicated equally skilled staff and ample experience, staff determined that Desman is uniquely
qualified for this proposed project due to their roles as designers and construction engineers of the existing Emerson
Street Parking Deck. Notably, they have proprietary access to design and as-built drawings,, construction
specifications, calculations, beam and column schedules, geotechnical reports, foundation plans, and a comprehensive
understanding of the overall garage function.
Inadditionf Desman also demonstrated sufficient experience with similar projects including the addition of passenger
elevators to the of h/ parking structure in Chicago,, Illinois and the addition of an elevator tower to the
it Center garage in St. Louis, Missouri.
Furthermore, Desman submitted the lowest cost proposal. Staff is confident the firm has allocated sufficient work
effort for this proposed project.
Additional Engineerin.g_(Main Street Pedestrian Bridge Feasibility Study).
Subsequent to receipt of Desman"s proposals for the elevator addition, staff asked the firm to submit a proposal to
provide additional engineering necessary to complete a Phase 1 feasibility study for the construction of a pedestrian
bridge connecting the new elevator structure to the west side of Main Street (IL out 83/Elmhurst Road). Although
this project is not scheduled or budgeted, recent difficulties securing Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT)
approval to construct at-grade pedestrian crossing improvements at the in Street and Busse Avenue
intersection suggest that the present is an opportune time to examine the viability of an elevated crossing.
Furthermore, due diligence work for the pedestrian bridge could suggest prudent accommodations that could be cost-
effectively incorporated into the design of the parking deck elevator tower.
The scope of proposed work includes examination of existing site conditions,, identifying utility requirements, clarifying
Illinois Department of Transportation requirements, assessing structural elements, determining site constraints,,
establishing cost estimates, and developing concept plans.
Desman complied submitting proposals to provide requisite work in conjunction with Cage Civil Engineering of
Downers Grove, Illinois. Copies of the Desman/Cage proposals are attached. The firms propose a reasonable work
effort (140 hours - not including MEP or civil engineering sub-consultant work) for a fee of $31,,625.
It is the opinion of staff that the Desman and Cage joint venture is uniquely well qualified to examine the feasibility of
constructing a pedestrian bridge over Main Street connecting the proposed new parking deck elevator tower to a
landing structure on the west side of Main Street. As previously noted, Desman has proprietary familiarity with the
existing parking structure. Cage augments the team with it experience as civil engineers for the ""20 West" ixed-
v l currently under construction in the "Small Triangle,"'area on the west side of Main Street.
Staff recommends that the project award include a 10% contingency attached to the elevator addition work to
account for it conditions and construction variances beyond the engineers' control. In this instance, staff
recommends a $9,,087.50 contingency (10% of $90,,875 fee for elevator addition work). The total recommended

project award includes the fees for elevator addition work, the pedestrian bridge feasibility study, and the suggested
contingency. Table 3 below summarizes this recommendation:
