A key component of the Mount Prospect Strategic Plan is to improve the Village's
infrastructure. Erosion is occurring along the banks of McDonald Creek and the
Village is interested in developing a study that will document the existing
conditions of the creek and will recommend measures to restore and stabilize the
banks and minimize future erosion. For the purposes of this study McDonald Creek
will be divided into six reaches, and one reach of Feehanville Ditch will be
considered. Four reaches will be included in the Base Study and the Village will
consider inclusion of three Alternate Study reaches upon review of the proposals.
The reaches are described below:
Base Study
Reach : From the south side of Kensington Rd to the east side of Burning Bush
Ln (1,660')
Reach : From the east side of Burning Bush Rd to the east side of the CN
Railroad tracks (1,450")
Reach : From the east side of the CN Railroad tracks to the east side of Wolf Rd
(1,880')
Reach : From the east side of Wolf Rd to the Village limits for McDonald Creek

Following staff review and ranking of the proposals, the top 3 consultants were
interviewed. Hey and Associates, Inc. has put together a very strong project team
with experience in studies, and design and construction engineering for numerous
stream bank stabilization projects and stood out as the preferred consultant. They
have very experienced professional engineers, ecologists, environmental
scientists, and landscape architects committed to work on this study that have a
thorough understanding of the project coordination, communication and
documentation needs to successfully accomplish the project within the proposed
schedule.
Hey and Associates, Inc. recently completed a "Streambank Stabilization
Guidebook" for the DuPage County Stormwater Management Department that
serves as a standard for the County's projects. In addition, Hey and Associates
has successfully completed planning, design and construction engineering for
multiple projects within the Northeast Illinois region with references from those
communities that they performed well and the projects are functioning as the
communities envisioned. In addition, Hey and Associates has ample experience
developing streambank stabilization projects with key area stakeholders including
the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago, the Illinois
Department of Natural Resources, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. It is
staff's opinion that Hey and Associates, Inc. will provide the best product at an
appropriate number of hours dedicated to the study.
Cost proposals were provided for the base study which included sections of
McDonald Creek within the Village's boundary. In addition, cost proposals were
requested and received for sections of McDonald Creek and Feehanville Ditch that
are located outside of the Village's boundaries, but within areas that may be under
consideration for annexation in the future. It was staff's intent that with favorable
costs, analysis of these creek sections could be accomplished in conjunction with
this study and this information would be useful to have available for any future
annexation discussions. It is staff's opinion that the additional costs are
reasonable and that the Alternate Study be included at this time.
Alternatives
1. Accept proposal from Hey and Associates for the McDonald Creek
Streambank Stabilization Study.
2. Action at the discretion of the Village Board.
4
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Village Board accept the proposal submitted by Hey
and Associations for the McDonald Creek Streambank Stabilization Study for an
amount not to exceed $65,430.00.

Firm Experience
Our experience and expertise makes us well-suited to assist the Village to complete a study that characterizes the
existing conditions of waterways within the Village and to prepare a plan to prioritize permittable, cost-effective, and
sustainable design solution to address the erosion problems and promote long-term sustainability and stability.
Our project team, outlined in in previous section, includes our skilled ecological staff members. Our team will be led by
project manager Dave Kraft and assisted by our Senior Landscape Architect, Tim Pollowy. This spring, Dave and Tim
were the keynote speakers at The Conservation Foundation's annual Beyond the Basics Seminar focused on advanced
stormwater management and water resources issues. They presented on modern waterway restoration in the face of
urbanization and climate change. Many of these same issues will be key to best addressing this project, and they will
lead our team founded on the expertise that allowed them to be regionally leading voices on this subject.
Design & Pen ttimg Project Guidance
for DuPage County Residents,
Businesses &Stakeholders
Hey very recently assisted DuPage County to develop a manual (clickable link:
"Streambank Stabilization Guidebook") aimed at assisting residents and local
municipalities with stream restoration and stabilization. This guidebook has just
been published by the County on their Stormwater Management documents
page. Some of the guidebook highlights relevant to the Mounty Prospect study
include:
• Problem identification and erosion assessment
• Stabilization solutions including design applicability flowchart
• Permitting requirements
• Construction considerations
• Typical construction costs
• Maintenance and monitoring considerations
The same key personnel who used their expertise to prepare this guidebook for
DuPage County will be assigned to the Mount Prospect project.
Over the last few weeks, our field staff has been working
with the DuPage River Salt Creek Workgroup to complete
streambank assessments for waterways in the Upper Salt
Creek Watershed as part of the water resources inventory
for the preparation of the Upper Salt Creek Watershed Based
Plan. Our staff have been using a GPS collector application to
identify, document and geolocate the field observations.
This same technology will be used for the field assessments
along Mount Prospect waterways and can ultimately be
imported into the Village's GIS system.
Additional information on many other relevant projects
follows.

Erosion is occurring along the banks of
McDonald Creek and the Village is
interested in developing a study that will
document the existing conditions of the
creek and will recommend measures to
restore and stabilize the banks and
minimize future erosion.
Urban streams throughout northeastern
Illinois share many of the same
characteristics of McDonald Creek
including being straightened, confined
behind or within residential areas, adjacent
to private property infrastructure, and
overrun by unmanageable vegetation.
Improving urban streams requires an
understanding of what the best possible 1938 Aerial Photography for Base Study Area (Reaches 1-4)
outcome of these projects can be. The
hydrology of our landscape is so altered
that restoring a stream to its pre -settlement condition is no longer feasible. Proposed stream configurations must be
based on an understanding of how the landscape has been altered and how the stream can be "restored" to a healthy
condition. Understanding the history of a waterway over the last 100 years can often help inform stream
improvement studies. Historical aerial photography (shown on this page) reveals that much of the base study area had
already been straightened by 1938. The predominant land use at that time was agricultural. Since that time, the land
uses along McDonald Creek in the base study area (total length of 8,110 feet) have changed to an interesting mix of
public and privately controlled lands.
Project Understanding and Approach
Some notable attributes of each reach are described below.
Reach 1: This reach includes private properties such as single family homes and the McDonald Creek Condominiums
along its north/northeast bank, while the south bank is characterized by the Mount Prospect Fire Department and the
Prairie Trails School. The first 400 feet is an open channel with turf or slightly vegetated side slopes, while the
remainder of the slopes and banks in this reach are wooded. Construction access through this reach would not be
difficult if the River Trails School District 26 is a willing project partner. Private lot lines extend into the channel, so
coordination would also be needed with adjacent private landowners. We generally recommend obtaining permanent
easements along the stream corridor to allow for future operations, maintenance and monitoring of the constructed
projects.
Reach 2: This reach has wooded banks and is lined by private properties on both sides of the channel. This is a
common configuration along urban streams in northeastern Illinois and project construction in these areas is often the
most difficult construct due to limited access and regulatory requirements such as in -stream work plans. Access issues
exist not only for construction, but future maintenance responsibilities are also important considerations. The time
and expense to obtain easements also cannot be underestimated. (Our Addison Creek project with MWRD has
included coordination of acquisitions, temporary or permanent easements on over 200 properties.) In addition, it is
important to note what improvements (i.e. sheds, patios, etc.) have been made to the lots at or near the top of the
channel banks in order to help identify and fine-tune potential stabilization options and treatments.

Reach 3 Aerial Oblique from Cook County GIS viewer.
Reach 3: This reach is primarily involves three parcels, the railroad
crossing, a ComEd transmission corridor and an online pond or
wetland owned by the Brentwood homeowners association. We
will plan to avoid railroad access issues by viewing this property
from either side. The ComEd property has an in -channel structure
that has been breached around its west side. This structure does
not appear to be shown currently in the FEMA Flood Insurance
Study (FIS) or MWRD's Lower Des Plaines River Detailed Watershed
Plan and it is not known at this time what the intent of the
structure was when originally constructed. Part of the project will
include research and documentation of this structure to the extent
practicable.
Finally the online pond or water body on the HOA property shows
signs of sedimentation. This is typical of an online pond since it
tends to accumulate sediment over time. The pond is over 20 years
old. Reviewing historical records on the history and intent behind
this pond as well as contacting the HOA regarding their current
management strategy for the pond will help to define future efforts
and responsibilities for this area.

Reach 4: The final reach of the base study area is located between
Wolf Road and the Village limits. This reach is primarily contained
within the Woodland Trails Park operated by the River Trails Park
District. This area has a number of existing amenities such as a
recreation center, driving range, and trails through a natural
wooded area. The reach also includes the Grace Evangelical
Lutheran Church parcel. Planning future improvements through
this area should include coordination with the River Trails Park
District to discuss objectives for the wooded naturalized area. Hey
has completed many projects of this type for park districts and
forest preserve districts and can help identify project
recommendations that are consistent with these uses. In addition,
our experience has demonstrated that early coordination with
these property owners results in collaborative solutions that can
meet the goals of the various stakeholders.
Reach 4 Study Area includes Woodland Trails Park.
It was also noted that the Lower Des Plaines River Detailed
Watershed Plan prepared by MWRD recommended implementing Alternative MDCR-5 which addresses observed
streambank erosion upstream and downstream of three pedestrian bridges within Woodland Trail Park. These areas
will be included in the planning and may allow for future grant or funding opportunities.
Alternate Study Area
In addition to the Base Study Area, the RFP also identifies three reaches that comprise an Alternate Study (or potential
additional) area. Reaches 5 through 7 total 3,300 feet and include an additional downstream reach on McDonald
Creek (Reach 6) south of Kensington Road as well as two separate areas on Tributary A and Feehanville Ditch.
Reach 5: This reach on Tributary A from the south side of Camp McDonald Rd to the east side of Schoenbeck Rd passes
through the Old Orchard Country Club. Hey has completed a number of streambank projects in or along golf courses
and are familiar with restoration techniques that are compatible with these environments. This may also require
coordination with staff from the Prospect Heights Park District, which we would be happy to facilitate.
Reach 6: This reach of McDonald Creek is just downstream of Reach 1 and passes through private commercial and
residential properties.
Reach 7: The final Alternate Study reach comprises 440 feet of Feehanville Ditch from west side of River Road to west
side of Lee Street which is adjacent to approximately six residential properties.
0 IBYECTIIVIE
This project will result in a plan that will accomplish the following objectives:
• Identify existing erosion and sedimentation areas and provide assessment to document the severity and
causes of problem areas. Include storm drain outfall inventory as part of the stream assessment.
• Identify and prioritize streambank stabilization measures.
• Develop an implementation plan including prioritized actions, design and opinions of probable construction
cost, maintenance activities and cost, funding opportunities, permitting requirements and jurisdictional/
property ownership and access issues.

The RFP provides a summary of the Scope of Services. We have reviewed and concur with these tasks and we have
based our level of effort and cost estimate on the suggested task structure. Project management and project
coordination meetings will be conducted as part of our work on the four main tasks and have not been broken out as a
separate task. A summary of our approach to each of the tasks follows.
1. Erosion Assessment
a. Identify locations and extent of existing erosion
b. Evaluate the erosion/sedimentation condition of structures (culverts/bridges) within each reach
c. Identify causes and factors contributing to erosion
d. Identify the location and condition of all storm sewer structures, outlet pipes, and private sump
pump discharges within the creek
The erosion assessment task will begin with a project kick-off meeting with the Village. The primary focus of this task is
the collection and processing of field data for the project. The erosion assessment task will continue with the
preparation of base files using available County spatial data. Having prepared numerous Cook County plan sets and
studies for agencies such as the MWRDGC and the FPDCC, we anticipate this task to be rapid and efficient. Base maps
will be created using the cloud base ESRI Collector application so that GPS -based field assessments can be performed
and additional spatial data including notes, photos, and points taken during the field inspection. Initial fieldwork will be
planned to start in January but may be somewhat dependent on snow conditions. In any event, the fieldwork will be
completed prior to leaf -out in the early spring of 2022 to maximize the ability to review streambank issues and identify
outfalls without vegetative cover. We anticipate that the work product from this task will include an assessment of
bank conditions over the entirety of the study reaches. Bank conditions will be classified and categorized by condition
severity. Any spot locations of significance, such as erosion affecting a bridge crossing or structure will be specifically
highlighted in the findings. Outfalls will also be visually inspected, measured and documented. Although it would be
somewhat unexpected, we will also look for any obvious signs of illicit discharges at all located outfalls.
2. Plan Development
a. Evaluate bank stabilization alternatives to mitigate the erosion
b. Recommended streambank stabilization plan for each reach. It is understood that the study may
include different approaches for the individual reaches, but each must be compatible with the adjacent
approaches.
c. Prioritization of stabilization projects
d. Public Involvement Plan
This task involves evaluating, recommending and prioritizing bank stabilization measures throughout the study reaches.
We will apply the fundamental approach that we developed for the DuPage County Streambank Stabilization
Guidebook. This approach uses a decision matrix/flowchart to identify and recommend appropriate stabilization
measures. We will be applying our firsthand experience gained from the erosion assessment to prepare these
recommendations. A stabilization plan will be developed for each reach that graphically depicts the recommended
stabilization measures. In some cases, as noted in the project understanding section -and if directed to do so by the
Village, we will conduct outreach with major property stakeholders to discuss their specific concerns and gather input
on various stabilization measures.
An initial or preliminary prioritization system may be developed based on the severity of erosion during this task.
However, we will revisit and refine the prioritization system as we work on issues identified in Task 3.

We will also work with the Village to identify opportunities for public involvement. We have successfully implanted a
website -based interactive web map on other similar projects. One such example that is currently available to the
public can be viewed at the project website for the Upper Salt Creek Watershed Based Plan. (see
www.ui)persaltcreek.com/home/interactive-web-map). We would also prepare announcements and coordinate with
the Village to alert residents to the days when fieldwork would be conducted.
3. Implementation and Funding Plan
a. Estimate of Cost (including design, construction and construction engineering) for every reach
stabilization plan for the Base Study. Provide a separate cost for the Alternate Study. Analysis,
recommendations and estimates of cost must be provided for each individual reach to facilitate
the ability to stage the improvements over a multi-year program.
b. Anticipated maintenance costs for each recommended stabilization plan
c. Funding opportunities
d. Required permits for recommended plan
e. Perform jurisdictional determination researching easements and property ownership
f. Identify Construction accessibility locations for each reach
This task involves the development of an implementation and funding plan for the recommended stabilization
measures. We will develop construction costs based on our extensive experience with the design of these types of
projects over the last few years. We will also develop a maintenance plan and estimated costs for these measures.
These have been required as part of our previous projects for the MWRD. In addition, Hey and Associates, Inc. has a
field services department that conducts full-scale restoration and management of natural areas that will provide input
into the development and scoping of recommended maintenance measures.
Based on the recommended streambank improvements, we will identify potential funding opportunities as part of the
study. A variety of permits and regulatory approvals will be required for the work recommended by this study . A brief
description of each anticipated permit and authorization and our recommended approaches to streamlining these
approvals will be included in the study.
We will use Cook County parcel information to identify property ownership along each reach the study. Major public
entity landowners will be highlighted since they will be major stakeholders in any future work. We will request any
historical subdivision plans or records from the Village to review for potential easements or other historical
agreements. At this time, we do not plan on conducting any Title searches or additional property records research, but
we have previously coordinated these services for our projects if this level of detail is desired.
Stream stabilization projects bring a myriad of challenges for construction including access, staging, in -stream work
plans, easements, stakeholder/private property coordination, and subsequent maintenance and monitoring.
Construction access and staging are typically overlooked during Phase I planning and it is critical to ensure that the
proposed improvements can be performed by a contractor within the site and permitting constraints. For some
reaches in the study area, the constructability challenge will be only accessing the channel from one side due to the
residential properties with limited access on the opposite side of the creek. This will require construction equipment to
access and work from the open area on the south side, which will require diligent coordination with the open space
property owners. In other areas, Reach 2 in particular, the residential properties line both sides of the creek.
Construction of the recommended improvements will most likely be recommended to occur during low -flow periods to
enable a contractor to develop an appropriate in -stream work plan that will be accepted by North Cook Soil and Water

Conservation District (NCSWCD). We have worked collaboratively with NCSWCD on similar projects impacting streams
and would recommend coordinating with them during future work phases to discuss the challenges of implementation
while also minimizing risk of construction erosion/sediment issues.
4. Deliverables
a. Submit Preliminary Study to Village Staff
b. Submit Final Study to Village Staff
The final task includes the work to prepare and assemble the study report. This will include presentation of the work
involved and outcomes of Tasks 1-3. In the schedule, we have allowed 10 days for the Village to review and comment
on the preliminary study.
SCIl..IF
The RFP provides several key dates for the performance of the project. We have created a project schedule around
those dates. This schedule was prepared for the base study area, but we would only expect minor interim deadline
changes if the alternate study area is also included in the project. Even with the alternate study area, we would plan to
complete the study by June 30, 2022.

Municipal Center Woodland and Creek Restoration
Schaumburg, Illinois
The Village of Schaumburg retained Hey and Associates, Inc. (Hey) to provide site
analysis, design, permitting, and construction engineering services for the Municipal
Center Woodland and Creek Restoration Project. The first part of the project
included enhancement of an approximately six and a half acre floodplain woodland
located south of the Prairie Center for the Arts on the Municipal Center grounds. The
second part entailed stabilization of approximately 1,200 lineal feet of Salt Creek
West Branch Tributary 5, also located on the Village's Municipal Center grounds.
Plans, specifications, and cost estimates detailing selective clearing, removal of many
dead ash trees that succumbed to EAB, enhancement seeding, and planting of over
150 native trees and shrubs were developed for the woodland restoration portion of
the project. A small adjacent floodplain wetland area was also enhanced. This work
was prioritized as Phase I of the project.
Phase II involved preparation of plans, specifications, and cost estimates, and
obtaining regulatory permits necessary to stabilize and enhance an existing creek
channel which was actively eroding. A series of riffle/pool structures were designed
to stabilize the channel and improve water quality and habitat. Bank stabilization
included an interplanted boulder toe, outcropping stone walls with a gabion basket
footing below, and regrading banks to soften slopes. Invasive species control and
native seeding throughout the stream corridor was also included.
Construction of Phase I was completed spring 2018. Logs and woodchips from cut
trees and brush were used to delineate pathways throughout the site. Construction
of Phase II stream improvements began summer 2018 and were completed by the
end of the same year.

Lancer Creek Stabilization
Cook County, Illinois
Hey has been working with the Schaumburg Park District for several years
addressing areas of bank erosion along Lancer Creek and its tributaries. Various
locations have experienced bank failures of previous stabilization installations as well
as unimproved banks.
In 2016 Hey designed and permitted a fresh approach to an area with failing nearly
ten foot tall gabion baskets and steel sheetpile. The new approach included grading
of overbank conveyance and creation of native planted floodplain to limit the need
for vertical treatments to shorter less intrusive gabion walls. The project also
included three new stone riffles for bed grade control and habitat.
Hey is currently working to address a new section of the creek where steep banks
have failed to a vertical state. The Park District is currently evaluating two concepts
that include new gabion wall or more extensive floodplain terrace grading of the
opposite bank on Village property.

Historical aerial imagery of the site, prior to agricultural use -associated
channelization, was used as a guide to design the spatial pattern for channel
restoration of this portion of stream channel. Additionally, EPA's Functional Loss
Determination quantification method was used to guide assessment of existing
conditions and representative functioning channel segments to guide design.
Determination of channel function was derived for existing reaches, reference
reaches, and designed reaches to quantify the improvement in channel hydrologic,
hydraulic, geomorphologic, physiochemical, and biologic components. Hydrologic
and hydraulic models, meander patterns, riffle to pool structure and spacing, relative
discharge ratios, field measurement, and field surveys were used to quantify the
recovery of channel function. Calculated and measured hydrologic elements,
including channel forming, bankfull, peak, and critical duration discharges were used

Buffalo Creek Forest Preserve
Lake County, Illinois
Hey and Associates, Inc. was retained by the MWRDGC and LCDOT to design and
permit improvements on the Lake County Forest Preserve's Buffalo Creek Forest
Preserve site. Working for the MWRDGC, the eastern portion of the preserve was
enhanced to increase the flood control capacity of Buffalo Creek Reservoir, as well as
enhance recreational elements with new and improved trails and boardwalks. Hey
worked with LCDOT on the western portion of the 408 acre preserve to implement a
wetland mitigation and full site restoration for future LCDOT roadway projects, as
well as over a mile of new trail and trail connection to the reservoir project and
adjacent neighborhoods.
Leaning on the trusted decades long relationship between Hey and the LCFPD, years
of inter -agency coordination was key to the execution and implementation of these
projects. Having worked on dozens of LCFPD sites, Hey brought this experience and
understanding of the site owner's mission to these projects, helping facilitate
communication and ultimate adoption of inter -governmental agreements for these
projects, as well as stewarding them through to construction.
Both projects began with mirrored planning efforts, built off of years of careful data
gathering and concept development. Weaving strengths in site design, water
resources, and environmental science, Hey worked with the goals of all three entities
to maximize site improvements to accomplish myriad goals. Regional flood control,
localized drainage improvements, ecologic and hydrologic restoration, recreational
opportunity, and community engagement and outreach were all accomplished as
part of this full preserve multi -agency enhancement.
Construction on both projects was completed in 2019 and 2020, and Hey remains
engaged in site management and monitoring efforts at the preserve.

Hydrologic Restoration
Lake County, Illinois
IPii Highlights The Lake County Forest Preserve District (LCFPD) has contracted Hey and Associates,
Velli a.zlrr& IRes� :or aiioi ii Inc. (Hey) locate existing drain tile and storm drainage features throughout dozens of
G ii a i it iiidiii g their Preserves. Following these inventories, LCFPD has contracted Hey to provide
hydrologic restoration planning, design and permitting services to support LCFPD
restoration activities. The work includes file disablement to maximize available
hydrology, file re-routing to maintain off-site drainage, placement of structures for
water level management and grade control, streambank and channel stabilization,
and installation of native vegetation. Restoration measures have also included
planning and design for interaction with current and future recreation elements.

Implementation and restoration has been completed at the Middlefork Forest
Preserve, the Southern Des Plaines Forest Preserve (including Grainger Woods, the
historic Adlai E. Stevenson Homesite and Daniel Wright Woods), Cuba Marsh Forest
Preserve, and Ray Lake Forest Preserve. Design and permitting have been completed
for work at the Lakewood Forest Preserve, Prairie Wolf Forest Preserve, and the
Grant Woods Forest Preserve with construction slated for 2021. Additional design
and permitting services for the Ryerson Woods and Wright Woods Forest Preserves
will be performed in 2020 and 2021.

Hoods Creek Improvement Planning Study
Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin
Services Provided
In 2016 the Village of Mount Pleasant began the initial planning phases for the
`A/ ii rel I(c aG ul COS I 1 1l ;I1 u1 uA
Hoods Creek watershed. Hoods Creek, a tributary to the Root River, drains the
A a+Cll;ul"rA ( aulC:uCi uu
northern half of the Village. Portions of the watershed also include the rapidly
I ytlI oIof;Ic ai,i i Il lydrulk:I" 114;:a4y6ii iig
developing and modernizing 1-94 corridor.
\Jaa4w i al Asses°Nuaient
Initially, Hey worked with the Village and a group of watershed stakeholders to
prepare a comprehensive planning document for the entire watershed and stream
reach, focusing on identifying and defining opportunities and constraints within the
watershed and stream corridor. The plan explored opportunities for development
within several tax districts, recreational amenities such as regional trail, drainage
improvements, water quality enhancement, and ecologic and habitat restoration.
Upon completion and publication of the "Hoods Creek Improvement Planning" study
in Hey and the Village have set to work beginning the work improving the Hoods
Creek watershed. Initially Hey prepared construction and permit documents for the
removal of the Village municipal compost facility from the floodplain, which included
enhanced stormwater management and water quality improvements as well.
Hey has also prepared preliminary engineering plans for trail, green infrastructure,
Project Highlights and stream improvements along a portion of the creek in the Route 20 corridor, with
watv15r 11vfi I13 m1u1u1ura, the intent to implement the project as development progresses in the reach.
