FROM: STREETS/BUILDINGS SUPERINTENDENT
DATE: SEPTEMBER 1, 2006
SUBJECT: SEALED BID RESULTS FOR THE REPAIR AND SEALING OF THE
POLICE AND FIRE GARAGE/DECK (NOT TO EXCEED $171,025)
BACKGROUND
The Police and Fire parking structure was originally built in 1996. Due to a failure of the
parking deck surface a special sealer was applied. This sealer had a life expectation of 5 years.
Some subsequent repairs were also made to the deck surface in 2002 and 2004. In April of 2005,
Desman Associates were hired to do a condition inspection and make recommendations for all
required repairs to extend the longevity of the parking structure. The upper parking deck had
two major failures which were joint seal failures and concrete deterioration. These failures have
allowed water to enter the lower level causing concrete spalling of the support structures and
corrosion to metal surfaces throughout the lower level. (Photos attached)
The scope of Desman' s recommended repairs included:
· Rout, clean and caulk all double tee joints, cove joints, and floor cracks on the street
level deck.
· Repair floor spalls and delaminations on the street level deck.
· Overhead concrete repairs at basement level, including beam spall, soffit spall and
column spall.
· Install new waterproofing membrane on street level deck.
· Restore existing parking lines and arrows.
· Remove and replace the front entrance handrails on upper level.
· Wire brush and grind all vertical and overhead surfaces on the lower level to remove
water leakage markings.

DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS
AUGUST 31, 2006
RFP RESULTS / DBPR STAGE 2 COMPLIANCE & HYDRAULIC WATER
MODELING PROJECT ($202,216)
TO:
DATE:
SUBJ:
Background
In the current budget, staff has requested funds to secure technical assistance with efforts to
comply with the requirements of the Disinfection By-Products Rule Stage 2 (DPBRlStage 2).
DBPRlStage 2 is a federal rule promulgated by the United States Environmental Protection
Agency (USEPA). It requires water purveyors to identify and, if necessary, take steps to minimize
the presence of disinfection by-products in drinking water. Specifically, this rule requires water
system owners to determine the concentrations of trihalomethanes (TTHM) and haloacetic acids
(HAAS) in their distribution systems. If these concentrations exceed certain USEPA-mandated
action levels, steps must then be taken to reduce these concentrations.
Disinfection by-products (TTHMs and HAAS) occur in drinking in water as a consequence of the
decomposition of chlorine (CI2). The USEPA has determined that trihalomethanes and haloacetic
acids are carcinogens and can contribute to the formation of certain cancers if long-term
exposures are significant.
The use of chlorine as a disinfection agent is ubiquitous in the United States. Chlorine is
commonly added to drinking water throughout the country to destroy bacteria and prevent the
spread of water-borne disease. Chlorine is added to Mount Prospect's drinking water by the City
of Chicago water purification plants. In addition, both the Northwest Suburban Municipal Joint
Action Water Agency (NWSMJAW A) and the Public Works Department typically add additional
chlorine to water during warm weather months when chlorine residuals dissipate quickly.
Initially, the DBPRlStage 2 rule requires Mount Prospect to develop a disinfection by-products
water sampling plan. This plan must be designed to collect water samples from the portions of
the distribution system where water age is the oldest and/or conditions are most favorable for the
formation of disinfection by-products. The identification of sample site locations must be based
on scientific reason, such as a hydraulic water model. Sites solely identified by anecdotal
reasoning or institutional knowledge about aged water areas will not be acceptable to USEPA.
Staff expects that disinfection by-product samples will have to be collected from four (4) separate
sites in the distribution system once each quarter of the calendar year. We also expect that this
level of sampling activity will continue for the next several years. If the concentration of
trihalomethanes in any of these samples exceeds 40 mg/Liter and/or the concentration of
haloacetic acids exceeds 30 mg/Liter, the Village will be required to take corrective action to
reduce these contaminant levels.
Page 2 of 3
August 31, 2006
RFP Results I DSPR I Stage 2 Compliance & Hydraulic Water Modeling Project ($202,216)
USEPA stipulates that corrective action will entail an Initial Distribution System Evaluation (IDSE)
study of the Village-owned water distribution system. An IDSE study requires a hydraulic water
model analysis geared towards identifying methods to improve the circulation of water, reduce the
age of water, and/or eliminate conditions favorable to the formation of disinfection by-products.
Based on the findings of the IDSE, the Village would then be required to submit a compliance
plan outlining steps that will be taken to reduce the incidence of disinfection by-products.
Possible corrective actions steps could include circulatory pumping or baffling in water storage
tanks to reduce stratification, modified booster pumping / water storage tank filling protocols, or
water main construction projects aimed at improving water circulation and eliminating stagnant
main segments.
It is poignant to note that the Village has not conducted an extensive water distribution analysis in
almost three (3) decades. The last hydraulic water model created predates Lake Michigan water
and microcomputer technology. Consequently, this model cannot be reiterated to analyze the
prevalence of disinfection by-products in our current water distribution system.
In an effort to comply with these requirements, staff prepared a detailed request for proposals
(RFP) designed to secure the services of a qualified engineering consultant capable of creating a
detailed hydraulic model of the existing Village-owned water distribution system. In addition, the
RFP seeks a consultant who is also capable of assisting with USEPA compliance documentation
as well as making engineering recommendations that might be necessary to eliminate disinfection
by-products or improve the operation of the water distribution system. The RFP also seeks
modeling analysis of scenarios that could aid in disaster preparedness such as the loss of Lake
Michigan water or the purposeful contamination of the water distribution system. The scope of
services requested in the RFP is detailed in Attachment A.
It is significant to note that the RFP stipulates creation of the computerized hydraulic water model
utilizing MWH Soft water modeling software. This stipulation is based on staffs assessment that
the MWH Soft product bests suits the needs of the Village. Specifically, staff has determined that
MWH Soft has the most intuitive user interfaces and the best integration with the Village's existing
geographic information system (GIS) software. This assessment was reached following vendor
product demonstrations held at the public works facility. Both MWH Soft and Haested Methods,
Inc. participated in the product demonstrations. MWH Soft and Haested Methods are the two (2)
dominant manufacturers of network modeling software in the United States.
RFP Results
Requests for Proposals were distributed to six (6) engineering firms with substantial experience in
the creation of computerized hydraulic water models. Two (2) proposals were received. The
results are as follows:
Firm Not-to-Exceed Cost
$202,216
$265,600
Declined

Discussion
The apparent lowest cost proposal was submitted by Burns & McDonnell consulting engineers of
Downers Grove, Illinois. Staff has reviewed their proposal and found it complete and responsive.
In addition, staff has interviewed the proposed project manager and determined that Burns &
Page 3of3
August 31, 2006
RFP Results I DBPR I Stage 2 Compliance & Hydraulic Water Modeling Project ($202,216)
McDonnell possess sufficient experience and resources necessary to prosecute the proposed
project in accordance with the request for proposals. Furthermore, Burns & McDonnell has
successfully provided the Village with a variety of engineering services in the past including
assistance with the USEPA-required vulnerability assessment of our water distribution system
and flow monitoring of our separate sanitary sewer collection system.
Staff has also contacted the four (4) consultants who declined to submit a proposal for the
project. Staff was vexed by this response since all firms were contacted prior to release of the
RFP to ascertain their qualifications and gauge interest in the work. All of the firms indicated an
eagerness to submit a proposal for this proposed project. The results of our interviews are as
follows:
. Greelv & Hansen and Farnsworth Group both indicated that current work loads prevented
them from accepting a project of this scale.
. Baxter & Woodman and V3 Infrastructure both indicated that their experience and
efficiency with the required water modeling software was inferior to other area firms likely
to be interested in the work. Consequently, the felt that their cost structure for this project
would not be competitive.
Recommendation
It is the recommendation of staff to accept the lowest cost proposal for DBPR I Stage 2
Compliance and Hydraulic Water Modeling Project as submitted by Burns & McDonnell of
Wood ridge, Illinois for an amount not to exceed $202,216. This project is scheduled to
commence in the Fall of 2006 and conclude at the end of 2007. Sufficient funds for this proposed
expenditure exist in the current budget and have been requested in the 2007 budget.

model of the existing Village-owned water distribution system utilizing MWH Soft
InfoWater Suite™ software. The distribution system model shall be developed at a level
of detail and complexity sufficient to support a variety of hydraulic simulations including
steady-state simulations, extended-period simulations, extended-period water quality
simulations, and hydraulic transient simulations.
Calibration of Model: Conduct necessary hydrant flow tests (approximately 30 - 60) to
properly calibrate the hydraulic model to reflect actual existing conditions in the water
distribution system. At a minimum, it is the Village's expectation that the model will be
calibrated to less than +1- 5 psi during fire flows and less than +1- 1 psi during static
conditions. Extended period simulations shall be calibrated to the extent that model
iterations sufficiently mimic actual system performance. Adequacy of model performance
shall be determined solely by the Village.

Protection Agency.
Future Needs: The Consultant shall review current zoning maps, comprehensive land
use plans, fire sprinkling/protection requirements, and conduct interviews with Village
staff to gain an appreciation for anticipated growth. patterns and future water usage. This
information will be used in conjunction with existing water use demand data provided by
the Village to forecast water usage patterns at 5-year, 10-year, 15-year, and 20-year
intervals.
Loss of NWSMJAWA Water Source: The Consultant shall model the existing system
sufficiently to forecast its performance following the partial loss of NWSMJAWA water
(Le. loss of two (2) delivery structures) as well as a complete loss of NWSMJAWA
water (Le. loss of all three (3) delivery structures). Analysis should include each of the
following system conditions:
Loss of NWSMJA WA without Supplemental Water Source: Analyze the reaction
and performance of the existing water system following the complete loss of
NWSMJAW A water sources while utilizing only available finished water storage
to meet system demands on an average day. Of particular interest are the
impacts of tank availability, effects on fire flow, and determination of a viable term
the Village water system can operate without supplemental water sources.
Loss of NWSMJAWA Supplemented with Interconnects: Analyze the reaction
and performance of the existing water system following the complete loss of
NWSMJAWA but utilizing available storage and each emergency interconnect
with adjacent water distribution systems. Analysis should gauge the impact of
each interconnect individually, collectively, and in all possible combinations.
ATTACHMENT A
Page 3 of 4
Loss of NWSMJAWA Supplemented with Deep Wells: Analyze the reaction
and performance of the existing water system following the complete loss of
NWSMJAWA but utilizing available storage and each emergency deep well.
Analysis should gauge the impact of each well individually, collectively, and in all
possible combinations.
Loss of NWSMJAWA Supplemented with Interconnects and Deep Wells: Analyze
the reaction and performance of the existing water system following the complete
loss of NWSMJAWA but utilizing available storage, interconnects, and deep
wells.
Improve Operation of Existing Water Distribution System: Examine existing procedures
and practices utilized to operate the water distribution system. Work will include site
visits as well as observations and interviews with key water distribution system
personnel. Incorporating this information, develop an extended period simulation of the
existing water distribution system and make recommendations to improve its operation.
Recommendations should emphasize NWSMJAWA delivery rates, pump sequencing,
control logic, SCADA reporting, pump selection, and storage tank utilization. Staff
anticipates that some operational modifications may improve water quality, reduce
operating costs (Le. reduce "re-pumping of stored water, reduce water main breaks, etc.),
improve system pressures, minimize system pressure spikes, or improve fire protection.
Water Main Break Analysis: Compile existing Village-provided data for main breaks, pipe
material, and pipe age. Assign a location for each leak to a pipe segment in hydraulic
model and iterate the model to identify areas of high flow or increased friction head loss.
Utilizing the results of the water model and patterns or trends that may occur based on
the water main break records, develop a water main break rank for each pipe segment
based on break frequency, flow rate, and friction head loss. Results should be reported
on large on a color, large format water atlas map and be detailed in a tabular
spreadsheet. The map should be delivered in printed form as well electronic form (.jpeg).
The spreadsheet should also be delivered in printed form as well as Microsoft@ Office
Excel 2003 format. Recommendations should consider items that can be taken to reduce
or avoid future water main breaks.
Water Distribution System Security. Utilizing the hydraulic model, analyze flow patterns,
flow rates, and other information to determine source pipe segments or areas that would
facilitate the greatest distribution of contaminants. For the purposes of this simulation, it
should be assumed that contaminants would most likely be introduced, either
purposefully or accidentally, through existing fire hydrants or water service lines.
Recommendations should identify action plan(s) to limit the spread of contaminants,
isolate affected areas, and directionally flush contaminated pipes. In addition, the entire
distribution should be analyzed and apportioned into a finite number of containment
areas or zones (Le. 14 zones). Action plans should be developed to identify key valves
necessary to isolate each zone from the remainder of the water distribution system while
maintaining water service to unaffected areas. Analysis should consider the addition of
new valves or even the elimination of existing valves to facilitate the quickest and most
thorough shut-down of contaminated areas. Finally, analysis should consider the
feasibility of adding SCADA-controlled automated valve actuators to identified key valves
to facilitate the remote shut-down of contaminated areas.
ISO Review and Report. Review existing water system, with consideration given to the
implications of the hydraulic model and applicable simulation iterations, make
recommendations to improve, or maintain, the water system sector of the Village's ISO
(Insurance Service Office) rating.
ATTACHMENT A
Page 4 of 4
In addition, a comprehensive ISO report must be prepared detailing the Village's water
system and ISO rating-related performance metrics. The purpose of this form is to serve
as an acceptable submittal for a near-term ISO rating evaluation. Copies of past ISO
reports will be made available to the successful Consultant. Reports must be delivered in
paper format as well as Microsoft@ Office Word 2003 format.

SUBJECT: LIGHTNING PROTECTION
It has become a fairly regular occurrence to restore computer and other infrastructure
services in the Police/Fire Building after a lightning strike. Lightning tends to strike the radio
antennas with some frequency. After the last strike in the Spring of 2006, staff undertook a
review with a lightning protection engineer to see if additional steps could be undertaken to
minimize damage resulting from future lightning strikes. The attached letter includes the
recommended improvements to reduce future damage. Much of the recommendation is
related to proper grounding and the separation of the radio equipment from other sensitive
electrical equipment in the building.
The quoted cost of $16,530 is currently not in the 2006 budget, but based on the staff time
and the frequent replacement of electrical equipment damaged from lightning strikes such
an investment is warranted. The approved cost of the Public Safety space study came in
under the budgeted amount of $100,000 so some of that savings could be directed to this
expenditure. Work is currently underway for internal wiring improvements for the Police/Fire
Building and this lightning protection investment would be complimentary to the wiring
upgrade.
The attached letter also includes some information about some confusion on the
completion of lightning protection system for the Village Hall. The system was completed
and the rods have been installed in a manner that is not on top of the decorative balls, but
next to them as depicted in the attached drawing. Staff would recommend entering into a
contract for lightning protection services with HLP Systems in an amount not to exceed
$16,530. Please contact me if you have any questions regarding this proposal.

Public Safety Building
Lightning Protection
Dear Mr. Bures,
Weare pleased to furnish our recommendations for the lightning protection issues that
you need to address at your public safety facility located at 112 East Northwest Highway.
Areas of concern are as follows.
1) The communication tower needs to be properly grounded using a class one
lightning conductor and lightning protection components. This work would entail
replacing the existing ground wire and adding a second path to ground. These
ground paths will be terminated a 10' long copper clad ground rods. Our figure
for this work would be $2,800.00.
2) We would recommend the Installation of a ground bus just inside the attic space
where the coaxial'cables enter the building. This ground bus would be grounded
to the lightning protection grounds mentioned in item one above. The purpose of
this ground bus is to provide a location for your communications contractor to
install in line surge suppression devices as soon as the cabling enters the building.
As it stands now, surge currents are allowed to pass along the cables until they
enter the radio room. Our figure to install and ground the ground bus in the attic
is $245.00.
3) Additional consideration should be given to the installation of a complete UL
Certified lightning protection system on the entire building. Our cost to install
this system and provide the UL Certification is $12,000.00. This figure does not
include the work mentioned in items 1 & 2 above.
4) As we discussed in the radio room, we would recommend that your radio
contractor separate all ground wires from all phone, data and communication
lines. Further we would also recommend that all coaxial suppressors in the radio
room be installed in a line and grounded to a bus bar. As they are installed right

now, some lines are suppressed running along lines that have not yet been suppressed.
If all suppressors were to be installed at one point, you would help to eliminate the
possibility of currents being induced onto lines that have already been suppressed.
Our figure to install a ground bus in this location is $1,485.00.
Lastly, regarding the Village Hall, as mentioned at the site, we will return to finish the
portion of the work that was not completed under the original contract. I have talked
with MaIko Electric and they advised that they will pay us to finish the work. To clarify
a misunderstanding that is out there, we did not finish the work on the village hall
because of aesthetic reasons. We could not install portions of the system as the architect
directed and maintain code compliance. When we return to the site, we will finish the
work in compliance with the National Fire Protection Association Lightning Protection
Standard. At no time did I ever state that MaIko Electric never paid us or reduced our
contract because it was over budget. MaIko Electric is one of the most respected
companies I work for and they would never arbitrarily make such a decision.
Whether we perform the tower grounding or not, please advise a contact name so we can
return to the Village Hall, complete the installation and provide the UL Certification for
that project.
Thank you for this opportunity to be of service. Please feel free to call if we can be of
any further assistance.
Very truly yours,
