ITEM SUMMARY:
In June 2022, the Infrastructure Committee directed staff to continue addressing defects identified as part
of the Sanitary Sewer Evaluation Survey (SSES) via cured in place pipe, manhole lining, and five feet of
lateral lining within the public rights-of-way and easements.
The 2024 Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Project (Project) will continue the rehabilitation of the City’s
sanitary collection system using trenchless technologies to address structural defects and infiltration
issues in the Roosevelt Highlands Subdivision, which is generally the area between Illinois Route 59 and
Gates Street, and between Dayton Avenue and Forest Avenue. The Project location was previously
identified as a location of high inflow and infiltration. Most of the sanitary sewers in the Roosevelt
Highlands Subdivision are located in backyard public easements. A large portion of the sanitary sewer
segments in this area are obstructed by severe root intrusion, offset pipe joints, and faulty service lateral
connections to the mainline sanitary sewer. The 2023 Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Project also took
place in the same neighborhood, but the scope had to be reduced due to budgetary reasons. In 2023,
approximately 4,500 lineal feet of 8” sanitary sewer and services within those segments received the
cured in place pipe lining.
Due to its knowledge of SSES, familiarity and past performance, staff requested a proposal from RJN
Group (RJN) for the design engineering services related to the Project. RUN’s scope of work will include
preparing plans, specifications and bid documents to repair approximately 2,050 feet of sewer and
associated manhole rehabilitations in this area. All the work will be focused within the public right-of-way
and/or easements. After successful negotiations, RJN has provided a proposal for an amount not to
exceed $25,000.00 for design engineering services. Staff feels the design costs are appropriate for a
project of this scale. Staff recommend moving forward with the design of the Project.
In FY2024 Sewer Fund, Sewer Main Repairs (05-34-43-4410), $550,000.00 has been budgeted which
will be used for the 2024 SSES Repair Program.
ACTIONS PROPOSED:
Approve Resolution No. 24-R-0024 authorizing the Mayor to execute a professional services agreement
with RJN Group, Inc. for design engineering services related to the 2024 SSES Repair Program in an
amount Not to Exceed $25,000.00.
