The City budgeted $75,000 for this project in the FY2025 budget. Staff received submissions from four firms. MKSK Studios submitted the lowest cost of the four. MKSK has extensive experience in historical architecture, historic surveys, and histor- ical preservation planning demonstrating their ability to perform the proposed work. The City’s two existing historic districts, Turner Junction and East Washington Street, were originally surveyed in 1990 and 1998, respectively, and are in need of an update. Members of the Historical Preservation Commission directed staff to also pursue surveying residential neighborhoods in the im- mediate areas surrounding the downtown to determine the historical significance of the homes. These areas include Old Heidelberg, Town of Turner, Town of Junction, and the Elmwood and Highland resi- dential neighborhood. The survey project is consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Plan, which en- courages the City to “Consider a wide variety of strategies and policies to promote and raise aware- ness of the City’s historical assets’. A contract with MKSK to perform this survey has been prepared and is attached for consideration. If approved, the project will begin this summer with historical research being performed followed by the field survey occurring in the fall. The final survey report will be completed in February of 2026 and will be in both Spanish and English. The total cost of the project provided by MKSK is $58,640. MKSK has provided staff with information demonstrating they carry the minimum liability insurance required by the City.

Gilbert, we would like to thank you for the opportunity to present our letter of interest and professional services proposal for undertaking a comprehensive architectural and historical survey of existing historic districts and select neighborhoods. Our team comprises experienced preservation planners, architectural historians, and preservation architects with experience in every facet of architectural and historical surveys. This includes historic context research, context essay writing, in-the-field documentation, photography, and the evaluation of properties as part of comprehensive survey reports. We are also skilled in utilizing the latest digital field survey technologies, which enable a seamless transition from on-site survey data collection to usable databases for integration into local Geographic Information Systems and other technologies. We also strive to make our surveys helpful to communities, such as crafting context statements as comprehensively as possible to support the development of walking tours, information brochures, and educational materials for community access. Most importantly, our surveys should provide concrete recommendations for future landmarks and districts, serving as a basis for effective community preservation planning. Beyond our qualifications, our team has collaborated on a range of survey assignments for Chicago-area and Illinois communities, including Downers Grove, Evanston, Highland Park, Deerfield, Peoria, and Bloomington. We collaborated on a 3,000-plus property survey for the Village of River Forest in 2012, which included a series of context essays on the community's history and its architects who helped design its Prairie School masterpieces and Revival-styled estates. In 2015, we conducted an intensive survey and inventory of several neighborhoods in Downers Grove, which helped spark renewed interest and enthusiasm for local heritage. Several properties in the Downers Grove survey areas included Sears kit homes. In addition to our survey work, we are experienced preservation planners, having undertaken assignments from municipal and county-wide preservation plans to statewide preservation plans for State Historic Preservation Offices. We also bring extensive practice experience in preparing National Register nominations for large residential and commercial area historic districts. Our National Register work has led to the revitalization of neighborhoods and the reuse of buildings through various incentives, including the Federal and State Historic Preservation Tax Credit Programs. What interests our team in this planning project is the prospect of collaborating with the City, its Historical Preservation Commission, residents, and preservation advocates in West Chicago to undertake a deeper exploration of its architectural heritage. The survey may also provide other tangible benefits, including generating new history narratives for heritage tourism needs and facilitating preservation-based economic development. This assignment is also an opportunity to build on past successes and address current preservation challenges. We have reviewed the RFP document and acknowledge its requirements and stipulations. We look forward to addressing any questions you may have regarding our approach and qualifications. Respectfully submitted, VL MKSK, Inc. Nicholas P.

Preserving historic places helps retain the visual record of ourselves and our communities — the visible links of our collective past and culture. Yesterday's preservation plans, however, while focusing mostly on identifying future landmarks and districts, are not enough to address the complex livability and quality of life issues facing our communities today. Today's preservation plans must be relevant to today's needs, including creating new jobs, retaining naturally occurring affordable housing, revitalizing traditional neighborhoods and downtowns, and addressing environmental stewardship, and sustainability. They must also inspire the involvement of younger generations and more diverse populations to participate in local preservation efforts. Our goal in our preservation planning is to identify key strategic actions that build a more robust community historic preservation ethic. We also identify preservation opportunities that attract investment, support a community's future vision, and enhance the quality of life and economic opportunity for all residents. We accomplish this through thorough analysis and effective community engagement that fosters stakeholder participation and ownership. The following principles guide our preservation planning practice: MKSK We bring a critical understanding of community planning, architectural history, and preservation strategies. We recognize key success factors for implementation such as funding, stakeholder, and community buy-in, resource commitments, political will, and leadership. We align public and private sector goals into implementation actions that offer results in revitalizing downtowns and neighborhoods, enhancing tourism, facilitating catalytic adaptive use, and preserving places that matter. We champion urban placemaking, arts and culture connections, walkable districts, multi-modal transportation enhancements, and sustainable healthy community design practices that result in significant reinvestment. We bring broad experience in ordinances, funding, and regulatory tools. We offer a variety of live and virtual public engagement opportunities to gain the community's interest and input. We create exciting and achievable visions that motivate leaders, stakeholders, funders, and the public, which lead to successful preservation projects. We understand the importance of careful and thoughtful quality planning that preserves each community's unique sense of place and character. mkskstudios.com West Chicago Architectural and Historical Survey 2025 | MKSK ===== PDF PAGE 17 ===== [Extraction: OCR (rendered-page OCR)] OUR TEAM AND EXPERIENCE MKSK, Jean Guarino, Ph.D., and Douglas E.

The following are proposed key elements of this assignment: e Historic Context Research. We will conduct background research into properties within all survey areas, as necessary, to place them in their historical contexts and understand the historical and architectural significance of properties located within each survey area. The context research, to be completed before and during the on-site survey, will include the following activities: » Gather and review previous research on notable architects, builders, and developers, and conduct interviews, as necessary, with individuals and organizations that have conducted similar research. » Review research and information sources collected during the survey and documentation efforts for the Turner Junction and East Washington Street Historic Districts. » — Review any relevant information from the Historic Architectural Resources Geographic Information System maintained by the Illi- nois State Historic Preservation Office (Illinois SHPO) housed within the Illinois Department of Natural Resources. » — Review existing nominations to the National Register of Historic Places to garner information on local architects, styles, historical figures, and builders in West Chicago. This may include the nominations related to the McAuley School District No. 27 Schoolhouse and Turner Town Hall. » Obtain and review plat, subdivision, and Sanborn Fire Insurance maps, as well as other maps and atlases, to understand the histori- cal development of the survey areas. » — Review building permits, if available, to understand the dates of construction, the names of builders and/or architects, the original owner, and the dates of any building changes and alterations. » Collect historic photographs where available to understand the original construction and design of historic resources. » Consult various publications, city directories, and newspaper articles to gain insight into the perspectives of historical figures, mer- chants and businesses, builders, and architects. » Consult various publications and research materials, such as A Field Guide to American Houses. Virginia Savage McAlester. Alfred A. Knopf, 2013, to confirm architectural styles and property types. » Visit the West Chicago Public Library, the West Chicago City Museum, and the DuPage County Historical Society to review available historical and genealogical resources. e Historic Context Essays. With background research complete, the MKSK Team will prepare a series of historic context essays that provide a framework for evaluating the historical significance and architectural integrity of each survey area. The Team will prepare one overarching context essay on the settlement, growth, and development of West Chicago and then proceed to develop essays for each survey neighborhood. The essays will provide a chronological narrative of key events and noteworthy citizens who contributed to West Chicago's development, with a specific focus on property types rather than individual resources, to provide clear criteria for evaluating the significance and integrity of the survey areas. The Team will have at least two drafts of the context essays before they are included in the Final Survey Report. e On-Site Survey. With initial context research completed, the MKSK Team will proceed with the on-site survey program, including the re-survey and inventory of the two established Local Historic Districts, the Turner Junction and East Washington Street Historic Districts, and the survey of the Old Heidelberg and Elmwood and Highland neighborhoods, and the Towns of Turner and Junction. The key elements of this task will include: » Development of a suitable survey inventory form for conducting the intensive-level survey. The MKSK Team may use a previously developed survey form from prior survey efforts or create a new one based on Illinois SHPO suggestions and requirements or those suggested in the National Park Service's National Register Bulletin #24: Guidelines for Local Surveys. » Discuss and review with the Historic Preservation Commission the common property types, architectural styles, and landscape elements identified in the survey areas before the on-site survey work. » Utilize a survey technology platform and iPads to input survey data in the field, facilitating the download and integration of data into the City's Geographic Information Systems upon completion of the survey project. MKSK will also upload any existing data from prior survey efforts before the commencement of this survey project. » Conduct an intensive-level survey to document all exterior architectural elements and features visible from the public right-of-way, including garages and accessory buildings. The survey team will pay particular attention to changes and alterations to properties since the last inventory in the established Local Historic Districts. West Chicago Architectural and Historical Survey 2025 | MKSK 25 ===== PDF PAGE 34 ===== [Extraction: OCR (rendered-page OCR)] » Photo-document building elevations, garages, and other secondary buildings viewed from the public right-of-way. Each survey form will include at least three digital photographs documenting the specific historic resource. All photos will be labeled according to City requirements or the National Park Service naming requirements and burned to a CD-R Archival Gold disk. » Based on the information provided in the RFP, there are approximately 500 properties to survey in the six survey areas. The entire on-site survey will take approximately four (4) to five (5) weeks to complete. Each property will take ten (10) to fifteen (15) minutes to complete. Survey Software and Database. The MKSK Team will use the SiteVista digital survey management system for in-the-field data collection. A 12-month licensing fee will be required to use the system during the project's duration. Mapping. Upon completion of the on-site survey work, MKSK will map each property according to the evaluation category for inclusion in the Final Survey Report. Evaluation Criteria. The MKSK Team will use the evaluation criteria for the National Register of Historic Places and the City of West Chicago's landmark and historic district designation to evaluate the architectural and historical significance of properties within the survey area. Using both evaluation criteria will help determine which properties or neighborhoods may qualify for National Register, Local Landmark, or District designation. City of West Chicago Designation Criteria for Landmarks include: Significant value as part of the nation’s, state's, or community's historical, cultural, artistic, social, ethnic, or other heritage. Its location is a site of a significant local, county, state, or national event that may yield historical information. Significant association with an important person or event in national, state, or local history. Representative of the distinguishing characteristics of an architectural type that are inherently valuable for the study of a period, style, craftsmanship, method of construction, or use of indigenous materials, rendering it architecturally significant. Notable work of master builder, designer, architect, or artist whose individual genius has influenced an era. » Identifiable as an established and familiar visual feature in the community owning to its unique location or physical characteristics. » Any improvement that meets one or more of the above criteria must also possess sufficient integrity in terms of location, design, materials, and artistry to warrant preservation or restoration. vvwyvy ¥ City of West Chicago Designation Criteria for Historic Districts: » Any of the standards listed for Local Landmarks. » Homogeneity of architectural design or dates of construction throughout the area. » Identifiable by clear and distinctive boundaries. » Repetition of distinguishing architectural or land use characteristics throughout the area. National Register of Historic Places Landmarks and Historic Districts evaluation criteria include: » Properties and places associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history; or, » Properties and places associated with the lives of significant people in our past; or, » Properties and places that embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction, or that represent the work of a master, or that possess high artistic value, or that represent a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction; or, » Properties and places that have yielded or may be likely to yield information important in history or prehistory. In addition to using these two sets of evaluation criteria, the MKSK Team will also assess each property for its integrity during field inspections. The Team will use National Register integrity evaluation guidelines described in the National Register Bulletin: How to Complete the National Registration Form, where integrity refers to the “survival” of physical characteristics that existed during the property's historic period. These qualities of historic and architectural integrity include: Location Design Setting Materials vvyy West Chicago Architectural and Historical Survey 2025 | MKSK 26 ===== PDF PAGE 35 ===== [Extraction: OCR (rendered-page OCR)] Workmanship Feeling Association While all seven qualities are essential for understanding a building's integrity, not all of them are necessary for its assessment. It is recognized that changes occur over a particular building's lifespan, but its integrity can be maintained if an overall sense of its past time is evident and present. An individual building's overall architectural integrity will be factored into all evaluation ratings. Evaluation Ranking. Upon conclusion of the on-site survey and further consultation with the City and the Historic Preservation Commission, the MKSK Team will rank properties by their significance using the established ranking system: Significant: Eligible or Listed National Register Landmark or District — a building, structure, district, neighborhood, place, or site that meets the National Register eligibility criteria. It may also be a property that is already listed in the National Register. Properties must be 50 years old and individually eligible under one or more of the Evaluation Criteria of the National Register of Historic Plac- es. Typically, properties must possess a high level of integrity and architectural distinction and/or may be valuable for understand- ing a historical period or context. Significant: Eligible or Listed City of West Chicago Historic Landmark or District — a building, structure, district, neighborhood, place, or site that meets the City of West Chicago eligibility criteria. It may also be a property that is already designated a Local Landmark or Local Historic District. Properties must be 50 years old. Typically, properties must possess a high level of integrity and architectur- al distinction and/or may be valuable for understanding a historical period or context. Contributing — a building, district, neighborhood, site, or structure that is at least 50 years old and possesses an excellent to reason- able degree of integrity, is valuable for understanding the historic context and significance of the historic district. The property itself may not be an example of outstanding architectural distinction as compared to significant properties. Non-Contributing — a building that is less than 50 Years old or was constructed outside the district or neighborhood's period of sig- nificance. It may also constitute a property that has undergone significant irreversible alterations and changes, making it unrecog- nizable from its original appearance based on historic photographs or a historic model example found on the block or adjacent blocks. Non-Contributing But With Reversible Alterations — A building that may have undergone significant but reversible alterations and changes. Such properties may be classified as contributing or significant if it was subject to appropriate rehabilitation or resto- ration. Noteworthy Buildings Less Than Fifty Years of Age — buildings that may meet one or more eligibility criteria for listing in the National Register of Historic Places but are less than 50 years old (built after 1975) and may be of exceptional architectural and historical importance. In addition to these evaluation rankings, MKSK surveyors will assess each building's integrity using the following ranking system: Excellent — a high degree of integrity, with the property retaining architectural features and ornamentation associated with a partic- ular style or property type. Exceptions may include minor alterations that do not obscure features and materials. Good — a property that retains a majority of its original architectural features, although it may have undergone alterations to features and materials, without obscuring or removing the original architectural elements. A defined architectural style or build- ing form must still be distinguishable. At the very least, the building must still maintain its roof shape, fenestration, and storefront elements and dimensions. Poor — a property that has missing or covered original materials and features or has unsympathetic, irreversible alterations that compromise the building's original character. Survey Report. After completion of the on-site survey and context research and writing phases, the MKSK Team will produce a Survey Report that will incorporate the following elements: Survey Introduction, Purpose, Methodology, and Evaluation Criteria Context Statement of History of Wets Chicago and the Survey Areas Architectural Styles and Property Types West Chicago Architectural and Historical Survey 2025 | MKSK 27 ===== PDF PAGE 36 ===== [Extraction: OCR (rendered-page OCR)] » Survey Conclusions » Survey Area Maps with Evaluation Ranking » Bibliography e Survey Database.

PAYMENT DUE Invoices shall be submitted monthly, are due upon presentation and shall be considered past due if not paid within thirty (30) calendar days of the due date. The Consultant has been commissioned by the Client to provide professional services, which are independent of whether the Project for which they are provided is executed by the Client or not. Client shall not withhold amounts from Consultant’s compensation to impose a penalty or liquidated damages on Consultant, or to offset sums requested by or paid to contractors for the cost of changes in the Work, unless Consultant agrees or has been found liable for the amounts in a binding dispute resolution proceeding. SATISFACTION WITH SERVICES Payment of any invoice by the Client to the Consultant shall mean that the Client is satisfied with the Consultant’s services to the date of payment and is not aware of any deficiencies in those services. DISPUTED INVOICE If the Client objects to any portion of an invoice, the Client shall so notify the Consultant in writing within ten (10) calendar days of receipt of the invoice.

The Consultant shall have no liability whatsoever to the Client for any costs or damages as a result of such suspension. Upon payment in full by the Client or cure of the breach to the satisfaction of the Consultant, the Consultant shall resume services under this Agreement, and the time for performance of Consultant's services and Consultant's compensation shall be equitably adjusted to compensate for the period of suspension plus any other reasonable time and expense necessary for the Consultant to resume performance. TERMINATION OF SERVICES If the Client fails to make payment to the Consultant in accordance with the payment terms herein, this shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement and shall be cause for termination of this Agreement by the Consultant. TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT This Agreement may be terminated by either party upon ninety (90) days written notice with or without cause. In the event of termination not initiated by the Consultant, the Consultant shall be compensated for all services performed to the date of termination by Consultant and its Subconsultants, if any, together with their direct project expenses incurred. MEDIATION In an effort to resolve any conflicts that arise during the design or construction or the Project or following the completion of the Project, the Client and the Design Professional agree that all disputes between them arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be submitted to mediation pursuant to applicable state law of alternative dispute resolution unless the parties mutually agree to another form of mediation, which shall be a condition precedent to initiation of binding dispute resolution. The Client and the Consultant further agree to include a similar mediation provision in all agreements with independent contractors, construction contractors and Subconsultants retained for the Project and to require such parties to also include a similar mediation provision in all agreements with subcontractors, sub- consultants, suppliers or fabricators so retained, thereby providing for mediation as a condition precedent to formal dispute resolution between all the parties to all those agreements relating to the Project.

The Client agrees not to reuse these electronic files, in whole or in part, for any purpose other than for the Project for which they were prepared. The Client agrees not to transfer these electronic files to others without the prior written consent of the Consultant. The Client further agrees to waive all claims against the Consultant resulting in any way from any unauthorized changes to or reuse of the electronic files for any other project by anyone other than the Consultant. Electronic files furnished by either party shall be subject to an acceptance period of ten (10) days during which the receiving party agrees to perform appropriate acceptance tests. The party furnishing the electronic file shall correct any discrepancies or errors detected and reported within the acceptance period. After the acceptance period, the electronic files shall be deemed to be accepted and neither party shall have any obligation to correct errors or maintain electronic files. The Client is aware that differences may exist between the electronic files delivered and the printed hard-copy construction documents. In the event of a conflict between the signed construction documents prepared by the Consultant and electronic files, the signed or sealed hard-copy construction documents shall govern. In addition, the Client agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to indemnify and hold harmless the Consultant, its officers, directors, employees and sub-consultants (collectively, Consultant) against all damages, liabilities or costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and defense costs, arising from any changes made by anyone other than the Consultant or from any reuse of the electronic files without the prior written consent of the Consultant.

ASSIGNMENT Neither party to this Agreement shall transfer, sublet or assign any rights under or interest in this Agreement (including but not limited to monies that are due or monies that may be due) without the prior written consent of the other party. Subcontracting to sub- consultants normally contemplated by the Consultant shall not be considered an assignment for purposes of this Agreement. PROPRIETARY INFORMATION The Client agrees that the technical methods, design details, techniques and pricing data contained in any material submitted by the Consultant pertaining to this Project or this Agreement shall be considered confidential and proprietary, and shall not be released or otherwise made available to any third party without the express written consent of the Consultant. ADA COMPLIANCE The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) provides that it is a violation of the ADA to design and construct a facility that does not meet the accessibility and usability requirements of the ADA unless it can be demonstrated that it is structurally impractical to meet such requirements. The Client understands that the requirements of the ADA will be subject to various and possibly contradictory interpretations. The Consultant, therefore, will use its reasonable professional efforts and judgment to interpret applicable ADA requirements and other federal, state and local laws, rules, codes, ordinances and regulations as they apply to the Project. The Consultant, however, cannot and does not warrant or guarantee that the Client’s Project will comply with all interpretations of ADA requirements and/or requirements of other federal, state and local laws, rules, codes, ordinances and regulations as they apply to the Project. CORPORATE PROTECTION It is intended by the parties to this Agreement that the Consultant’s services in connection with the Project shall not subject the Consultant’s individual employees, officers or directors to any personal legal exposure for the risks associated with this Project. Therefore, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Client agrees that as the Client’s sole and exclusive remedy, any claim, demand or suit shall be directed and/or asserted only against the Consultant, an Ohio corporation, and not against any of the Consultant’s individual employees, officers or directors. BETTERMENT If, due to the Consultant's negligence, a required item or component of the Project is omitted from the Consultant’s construction documents, the Consultant shall not be responsible for paying the cost required to add such item or component to the extent that such item or component would have been required and included in the original construction documents. In no event will the Consultant be responsible for any cost or expense that provides betterment or upgrades or enhances the value of the Project. DEFECTS IN SERVICE The Client shall promptly report to the Consultant any defects or suspected defects in the Consultant’s services of which the Client becomes aware, so that the Consultant may take measures to minimize the consequences of such a defect.
