AGENDA ITEM: A
MEETING DATE: May 27, 2026
ITEM:
Lead Service Line Replacement 2025 Program, Contract B—Change Order No. 1 for Bid 25-007
(No Cost)
OBJECTIVE:
Improve the water distribution system by replacing lead water service lines.
RECOMMENDATION:
Award Change Order No. 1 for the 2025 Lead Service Line Replacement Program, Contract B, Bid
25-007 to IHC Construction Companies, LLC, of Elgin, to extend the substantial completion date.
The city council awarded the 2025 Lead Service Line Replacement Project, Contract B to IHC Con-
struction Companies, LLC, on May 14, 2025. The project included replacement of existing lead-
based water service lines with new copper lines, from the water main to the meter inside of
homes.
The original Contract B project included replacing approximately 321 lead service lines by Decem-
ber 31, 2025. Following the completion of the required lead service line replacements, a balance
of over $500,000 remains in the contract value. To spend the full IEPA loan value for the contract,
this initiative proposes adding approximately 68 additional lead service line replacements and
extending the substantial completion date to June 30, 2026, with a final completion date of De-
cember 31, 2026.
A final balancing change order will be submitted once final construction costs are known. Staff
recommends awarding Change Order No. 1 for the 2025 Lead Service Line Replacement, Contract
B to IHC Construction Companies, LLC, of Elgin as a no cost change order to extend the contract
time.
BACKGROUND
The city conveys drinking water from its two water treatment plants through a network of pipes
to the final point of use in homes, businesses and other facilities. While there are various pipe
materials used for the conveyance of water, this initiative focuses solely on the lead-based water
service pipes that typically exist in the older portions of the city.
Lead pipes were historically used to convey water from the city-owned and operated water mains
into homes, businesses and other facilities. This industry-accepted construction practice contin-
ued until approximately 1970 when copper replaced lead as the industry choice.
National regulations governing water treatment require that drinking water be treated so that it
develops a scale, or in other words, a coating that occurs from the process of the drinking water
flowing through a water service line pipe. Because drinking water is treated so that it does not
create corrosion within the water service line pipe, lead pipe materials are shielded by the scale
created by the water chemistry flowing through a pipe. However, some recent studies have evi-
dence suggesting that once a lead water service line has been disturbed in any way, the exposed
lead pipe has the potential to release small amounts of lead into the drinking water before scale
on the pipe’s interior develops again to encapsulate the material.
Past practice has been that the city replaces the service line from the water main to the shutoff
valve, with the property owner being responsible for the service line from the shutoff valve to
the meter. The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) has revised its regulations which
now prohibit partial lead service line replacements (LSLR). With this change, the city is now re-
quired to replace the entire service line from the water main to water meter at no cost to the
property owner.
City staff continue to work with its consultant, Engineering Enterprises, Inc. (EEI), to develop and
implement the city-wide LSLR program.
In May 2025, the city awarded Bid 25-007, 2025 Lead Service Line Replacement Project – Contract
B to IHC Construction Companies, LLC. The project included replacement of existing lead-based
2
water service lines with copper lines, from the water main to the meter inside of homes. The
original Contract B project included replacing approximately 321 lead service lines by December
31, 2025. Following the completion of the required lead service line replacements, a balance of
over $500,000 remains in the contract value. To spend the full IEPA loan value for the contract,
this initiative proposes adding approximately 68 additional lead service line replacements and
extending the substantial completion date to June 30, 2026, with a final completion date of De-
cember 31, 2026, a final balancing change order will be submitted once final construction costs
are known.
OPERATIONAL ANALYSIS
Both 2025 LSLR, Contract B and 2025 LSLR, Contract C were funded primarily by an IEPA State
Revolving Fund (SRF) loan. To maximize the work done using the loan funding, additional lead
service line replacements are being added to each contract. The contractors have completed the
contractually required replacements within the specified time frame. The extension of the sub-
stantial completion dates will allow for additional replacements within the contractual frame-
work.

City of Elgin Change Order
ELGIN, ILLINOIS
PROJECT # Bid No. 25-008
CHANGE ORDER No. 1
CONTRACT: Year 4 Lead Service Line Replacement – Contract C (Bid No. 25-008)
SCOPE: The Year 4 Lead Service Line Replacement Program – Contract C project objective is to
replace approximately 221 lead service lines by December 31, 2025. The total original contract
amount is $2,442,560.00. This change order would allow for additional lead service line
replacements to be performed by extending the substantial completion date to June 1, 2026.
REASONS FOR CHANGE: After the Contractor completed 221 LSLR, a balance of $326,625
remained on the contract value. Similar to prior LSLR contracts, the City intends to increase the
project scope by 34 LSLR in order to spend the full contract value for this contract. An increase in
project scope requires a revised substantial completion date. A final balancing change order will
be completed once final construction costs are known.
The circumstances said to necessitate the change in performance were not reasonably foreseeable
at the time the contract was signed; the proposed change is germane to the original contract as
signed; and the change order is in the best interests of the City of Elgin and is authorized by law.

AGENDA ITEM: C
MEETING DATE: May 27, 2026
ITEM:
Building Improvement Program Agreement with Senior Services Associates, Inc., 101 S. Grove
Avenue
($31,700)
OBJECTIVE:
Combine city economic development incentives with federal grant funding to improve buildings
in the Downtown.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve a building improvement program agreement with Senior Services Associates, Inc. to re-
pair and replace windows on the second floor and replace the entrance doors of 101 S. Grove
Avenue.
The proposed building improvement program agreement with Senior Services Associates, Inc.,
provides gap financing for the repairs to the narrow wood windows and for the in-kind replace-
ments to the wider steel windows all on the second floor of their building at 101 S. Grove Avenue.
The agreement also covers window replacements on the back and side of the building and new,
historically-appropriate doors at the corner of Grove and Fulton Street and at the east end of the
building on Fulton.
The total project cost is estimated at $150,000. Senior Services intends to cover approximately 80
percent or $118,300 with federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding. This
amount of CDBG funding is the maximum amount allowed. This agreement provides the remain-
ing approximately twenty percent or $31,700 from the Central Area TIF. Project costs are “best
estimates” at this time because the federal government requires that the work be formally bid
after the funding is awarded. Project costs include a ten-percent contingency.
The extraordinary attention to the treatment of the windows and doors is necessary because the
project includes federal funding, not because of local historic preservation provisions. The CDBG
program requires that projects not have an “adverse effect” on historic property and that they
otherwise comport with the U.S. Secretary of the Interior’s standards for rehabilitation.
BACKGROUND
The one- and two-story building at 101 S. Grove Avenue was constructed in 1930 as the Salvation
Army Citadel. It is an excellent example of Art Deco architecture. Notable features include a
prominent northwest corner entrance with an elaborate sunburst design and a ziggurat-style
panel along with large multi-pane windows. The building is recognized as a significant contrib-
uting structure within the Elgin Downtown Commercial District, which was added to the National
Register of Historic Places in 2014.

The building served as the Salvation Army Citadel until 1972. The Greater Elgin Senior Center, Inc.
occupied the building in 1973 and purchased it in November 1979 using CDBG funds. A covenant
recorded at the time of purchase stipulates that, should Senior Services no longer wish to own
the building, it shall be conveyed to the city for one dollar.
Senior Services began in Elgin as an adult day center to meet the needs of community seniors
and disabled persons by offering adult day care. It expanded into a multi-purpose senior center
in 1976 and added transportation, recreation, health, education and information and assistance
to their services. Senior Services was designated as one of the first Case Coordination Units (CCU)
by the Illinois Department on Aging for the purpose of integrating frail elders into the social ser-
vice system.
Senior Services added the Nursing Home Ombudsman program in 1989 in Kane, Kendall, and
McHenry counites, and they were designated the Elder Abuse Investigation agency for the three
counties the next year. Other programs added include the Neighbor-to-Neighbor Volunteer Pro-
gram in Elgin, the McHenry County Volunteer Center, and the Friendly Visiting Program, which
2
won a Distinguished Program award from the State of Illinois. They implemented the federally
funded Family Caregiver Program in 2002, which provides assistance and respite to those caring
for a loved one. Senior Services amended their by-laws in 2012 to allow services to persons age
18 to 59 in response to being asked to administer the Veterans Intervention Program (VIP). This
program provides needed services to veterans of all ages. Services to this age group were ex-
panded in 2014 to include Adult Protective Services and Nursing Home and Community Ombuds-
man.
Senior Services has two senior centers in Elgin. The first at 101 S. Grove also serves as the corpo-
rate office. The second site is in the Elgin Township building on McLean Boulevard. Approximately
80 percent of the persons using the Elgin facilities are Elgin residents. Other multi-purpose cen-
ters are located in Aurora, Yorkville, McHenry and Crystal Lake.
The 101 S. Grove Avenue property and the surroundings to the north, south, and east are zoned
CC1 Center City District. The former Crocker Theater property to the west across Grove Avenue,
owned by the city, is zoned PCC Planned Center City District. The zoning ordinance does not re-
quire off-street parking for any land use within the CC1 zoning district. Free public parking is
available within the Fulton Street parking deck immediately to the east of Senior Services and the
city parking lot on the former Crocker Theater property.
The 2018 Elgin Comprehensive Plan includes the specific objectives to continue using the existing
Central Area TIF District to proactively assist with improvements to existing buildings, bringing
them to current code standards.
The back of the property has an approximately ten-foot-wide gangway, accessed off Fulton
Street. Senior Services uses this area to store their garbage dumpsters.
OPERATIONAL ANALYSIS
The Senior Services project primarily consists of replacing exterior doors on the first floor and
replacing or repairing all of the windows on the second floor. The scope of work includes five
parts, broken down as such:
First, the nine steel casement windows on the north-facing (Fulton Street) elevation and four
steel casement windows on the south-facing (side) elevation are in very poor condition. New
custom-fabricated aluminum casement windows will be installed that match the configuration,
profile and dimensions of the originals.
3
One of the nine steel casement windows on the second floor that will
be replaced. This window is on the south elevation.
Second, the six wood double-hung windows on the west-facing (South Grove Avenue) elevation
and four wood double-hung windows on the north-facing (Fulton Street) elevation are in good
condition. These windows will receive minor repairs and new storm windows to improve energy
efficiency.
Third, six wood double-hung windows of varying sizes and configurations on the south-facing
(side) and east-facing (alley) elevations are in disrepair. The project will provide new one-over-
one aluminum-clad wood double hung windows matching the originals in size but not multi-lite
configuration.
Next, two sets of exterior doors located at the corner of South Grove Avenue and Fulton Street
and the one set of exterior doors located at the northeast corner of the building (facing Fulton
Street) are rusted and in poor condition. The project will provide three sets of custom steel doors
that match the existing doors in configuration and dimensions, including windows matching the
original dimensions.
4
Finally, the furnace on the second floor is not currently vented to code. The project will provide
new venting through the rear (alley) exterior wall, including proper exterior cap(s).
The salient provisions of the draft building improvement program agreement provide that:
• The city will waive all development-related fees and provide fast-track building permit
review.
• Senior Services will apply for building permits within 90 days of the execution of the build-
ing improvement program agreement.
• Senior Services will commence construction within 120 days of the issuance of building
permits by the city. The city has the right to terminate the building improvement program
agreement if construction does not start within 120 days of the issuance of the building
permit or within 270 days of the execution of the building improvement program agree-
ment, whichever comes first.
• Senior Services will substantially complete construction within 6 months from the com-
mencement of work.
• The city will provide up to $31,700 in development assistance upon approval of all re-
quired inspections and the provision of lien waivers by all contractors.
INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED
None.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
The total project cost is estimated at $150,000. Senior Services intends to cover approximately
80 percent or $118,300 with federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding. This
amount of CDBG funding is the maximum amount allowed. Senior Services was awarded $97,607
of CDBG funds in 2025 and is requesting another $20,693 of CDBG funds from the 2026 allocation.
The proposed building improvement program agreement would provide the remaining approxi-
mately twenty percent. or $31,700 from the Central Area TIF.
Project costs are “best estimates” at this time because the federal government requires that the
work be formally bid after the funding is awarded. Estimated project costs include a ten percent
contingency. If the total project cost is less than $150,000, the maximum amount of CDBG funds
(80 percent) will be applied to the project cost and the difference will be covered with funds from
the Central Area TIF. For example, if the project costs are only $140,000, then $112,000 of CDBG
funds (80 percent) would be used and only $28,000 of TIF funds would be used. Unused CDBG
and TIF funds would be returned to the respective accounts for use elsewhere.
5
As Senior Services is a not-for-profit, this property has not generated property taxes since their
purchase in 1979, and it will not generate property taxes upon completion of the project.
The 2023-2026 Central Area TIF Fund Financial Plan does not include a line item for this initiative.
The plan will have to be adjusted accordingly.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained
herein, the sufficiency of which is hereby mutually acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree
as follows:
Section 1. The above recitals are incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement.
Section 2. The Owner shall provide for the further investment in the Subject Property
by repairing certain windows and replacing certain windows and doors in the manner depicted in
the 12-page “Scope of Work for Senior Services Associates” dated December 4, 2025, which is
attached hereto as Attachment A and made a part hereof (such repaired certain window and
replaced certain windows and doors on the Subject Property are hereinafter referred to as the
“Subject Building Improvements” or alternatively as the “Work”).
Section 3. The total, maximum approved project costs for the Subject Building
Improvements shall be thirty-one thousand, seven hundred dollars and no cents ($31,700.00) as
set forth in Attachment A (such total approved project costs for the Subject Building Improvements
are hereinafter referred to as “Eligible Costs”). The City shall pay the Owner a sum not to exceed
thirty-one thousand, seven hundred dollars and no cents ($31,700.00) toward the Eligible Costs
for the Subject Building Improvements approved pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement
unless, upon receipt and review of those items stipulated within Section 7 of this Agreement, it is
found that the total cost of the Subject Building Improvements were less than the Eligible Costs
estimated within Attachment A, then the maximum amount that the City shall pay to the Owner
shall be reduced to the lesser, actual cost of the Subject Building Improvements. The City also
agrees to waive any costs for permits, plan reviews, and inspections that are associated with the
construction and installation of the Subject Building Improvements.
Section 4. Eligible Costs shall include labor, material and equipment costs, and such
other costs as may be reasonably necessary for the execution and completion of the Subject

CDBG Annual Action Plan for 2026 Program Year
(No Cost)
OBJECTIVE:
Review CDBG review panel recommendations for 2026 program year funding.
RECOMMENDATION:
Release for public comment the activities and funding amounts recommended by the CDBG re-
view panel for the 2026 program year.
The city uses Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds from the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to improve neighborhood parks and nonprofit facilities,
repave city streets, redevelop quality affordable housing and provide services to address home-
lessness.
The city expects to have $1,034,533 in CDBG funds available for program year 2026. The CDBG
review panel met on April 29, 2026, and is recommending funding for the Owner-Occupied Hous-
ing Rehabilitation Program, the Affordable Housing Fund, Senior Services and program admin-
istration.
The CDBG allocation for affordable housing is directed to the Kane-Elgin HOME Commission
where the funds are layered with other federal dollars to help finance affordable housing projects
like ArtSpace, Fox River Crossing, Gifford’s Crossing, Hanover Landing and the Larkin Center.
School District U-46 has asked the HOME Commission to seek qualified developers to convert the
historic, two-story building at 4 S. Gifford Street back into apartments. U-46 is offering the build-
ing at no cost, and the property will return to the tax rolls after completion. The project will most
likely require the entire CDBG affordable housing allocation as well as other financial assistance.
The HOME Commission can only allocate Elgin CDBG dollars to projects in Elgin.

BACKGROUND
The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program was created in 1974 with the passage
of the federal Housing and Community Development Act. The major goals of the program are to
develop viable urban communities by:
• Providing decent, safe and sanitary housing
• Fostering suitable living environments
• Expanding economic opportunities for lower-income residents
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) determines the amount of each
entitlement jurisdiction’s annual grant using a formula that incorporates several objective
measures of community need. The formula considers each jurisdiction’s population, poverty rate,
age of housing stock, rate of overcrowded housing, and population growth lag in relationship to
other metropolitan areas. There are over 1,200 entitlement grantees throughout the country.
CDBG funds are to be used primarily to benefit low- and moderate-income individuals and house-
holds, which are those making less than 80 percent of the area median income. The city has par-
ticipated in the CDBG program since 1975 and has been awarded approximately $43.8 million
under the program since then.
To receive CDBG funds, HUD requires local jurisdictions to prepare a Consolidated Plan every five
years to identify affordable housing and community development needs. As partners of the Kane-
Elgin HOME Consortium, both the city and county satisfy this federal requirement by joining to-
gether to prepare a single, unified plan. The most recent Kane-Elgin Consolidated Plan identified
four housing and community development priorities:
• Affordable housing
• Neighborhood improvements
• Facility development
• Homelessness and Supportive Services
These priorities form the basis for the selection of activities and projects to be included in the
city’s annual action plan. The plan serves as the city’s application to HUD as well as its plan for
how CDBG funds will be utilized during the program year, which runs from June 1 to May 31.
2
OPERATIONAL ANALYSIS
For program year 2026, the city’s CDBG allocation from HUD is $778,429. Additionally, the city
expects to have carry-over funds and program income from previous years totaling $256,104.
Altogether, the city expects to have $1,034,533 in funding available to support activities aimed
at addressing the priorities of the consolidated plan during program year 2026.
Historically, CDBG funds have been allocated for affordable housing activities and neighborhood
improvement projects that have been undertaken either directly by the city or in collaboration
with the county, while facility development and homeless/supportive service activities are typi-
cally undertaken by local non-profits.
On March 24, 2026, the city invited area non-profit 501(c)(3) organizations to submit applications
for funding to support capital improvements for social service facilities, for activities aimed at
helping the homeless population, and/or for providing supportive services to Elgin residents in
need. Regardless of the type of request, applicants were advised that all projects had to benefit
Elgin residents. The city convened an application workshop on April 7, 2026, during which CDBG
program requirements were discussed and the application process was explained. Two not-for-
profit organizations attended the workshop. Following the workshop, city staff were available to
assist applicants regarding eligibility criteria and other technical questions prior to the April 20,
2026, submission deadline. The city received one application from an area non-profit (Fellowship
Housing) for a transitional housing project aimed at serving households at-risk of becoming
homeless. After review of the application and consultation with HUD, staff determined the pro-
ject did not meet federal eligibility requirements because the agency does not expect to provide
a “quantifiable increase” in services. In fact, the agency projected a 19 percent reduction in Elgin
clientele.
The CDBG review panel, consisting of two members of city council (Councilmembers Martinez
and Ortiz) and community development department director Marc Mylott, met in April to con-
sider funding recommendations for the city’s 2026 CDBG program. The group reviewed activities
involving affordable housing, facility development, and planning and administration. Community
Development Department staff provided background and analysis to assist the review panel.
All activities were reviewed for their eligibility under HUD regulations and their responsiveness
to the following criteria:
• Project Completeness/Readiness to Proceed
• Effectiveness at Addressing a Consolidated Plan Objective and Overall Community Impact
• Leveraging Other Resources
• Financial Capacity and Project Sustainability
• Project Sponsor Qualifications/Experience
The CDBG review panel recommends funding for a total of seven activities, which are grouped in
the tables below by “Consolidated Plan Category.”
3
Affordable Housing
Two activities addressing the city’s affordable housing needs are recommended for program year
2026. First, funding is recommended for the Owner-Occupied Housing Rehab Program, which will
continue to provide housing rehabilitation assistance to income-eligible homeowners throughout
the community. These funds can help low- and moderate-income homeowners address code vi-
olations and other building and life/safety issues. Code compliance officers from the neighbor-
hood services department routinely recommends homeowners reach out to the Elgin-based con-
tractor that provides these services, Community Contacts Inc. The amount of funding recom-
mended this year was carefully calculated considering the capacity of Community Contacts and
that the program still has CDBG-CV funds left to allocate.
Next, funding is recommended for the Affordable Housing Fund, which provides gap financing
for the rehabilitation or construction of quality units of affordable housing like ArtSpace, Fox
River Crossing, Gifford’s Crossing, Hanover Landing and the Larkin Center. Project proposals are
solicited annually through an RFP process overseen by the Kane-Elgin HOME Commission. A mix
of federal funding is made available through the Affordable Housing Fund, including the annual
allocation of HOME funds that is awarded to the Kane-Elgin Consortium.
School District U-46 has asked the HOME Commission to seek qualified developers to convert the
historic, two-story building at 4 S. Gifford Street back into apartments. This vacant building was
acquired by U-46 and converted into administrative offices in 1958. U-46 is offering the building
at no cost, and the property would be returned to the tax rolls. The project will most likely require
the entire CDBG affordable housing allocation as well as other financial assistance.
The building was built in 1925 and contained four luxury apartments. It was designed by promi-
nent local architect Ralph Abell, son of notable Elgin architect William W. Abell, and is considered
an excellent example of Georgian-style architecture. The building is identified as a contributing
structure within the Elgin Historic District established in 1981 and successfully placed on the Na-
tional Register of Historic Places in 1983. The apartments were reconfigured into six units follow-
ing World War II.
Elgin CDBG funds allocated to the Affordable Housing Fund can only be used to finance affordable
housing projects within the city. The final funding level for the Affordable Housing Fund may
increase or decrease depending on the actual amount of program income received. That figure,
along with some carry-over funds, is expected to be $256,104. This program income comes from
the sale of two affordable single-family homes that used CDBG dollars in their financial stack.

Facility Development
Facility development activities include those that are traditionally considered “brick and mortar”
projects. These activities can include the acquisition, construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation
or installation of public facilities and improvements carried out by grantees or non-profits. Under
this category, Senior Services is requesting an additional $20,693 for its expanded rehabilitation
project originally awarded $97,607 in CDBG funding in 2025. The project involves replacing exist-
ing deteriorated windows and doors with custom fabricated units that are appropriate for the
historic structure located at 101 S. Grove Avenue.

Program Planning and Administration
An integral part of the CDBG program is to provide funds necessary for the proper administration
and management of the program. For 2026, funding is recommended to cover administrative
expenses as well as for the Kane County Continuum of Care Program, which brings additional
state and federal funding to Elgin agencies that serve the homeless.

INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED
More than thirty area non-profits were sent a direct mailing about the availability of CDBG funds
on March 24, 2026. Two area non-profits attended an application workshop on April 7, 2026,
during which CDBG program requirements were discussed and the application process was ex-
plained. Following the workshop, city staff were available to assist applicants regarding eligibility
criteria and other technical questions prior to the April 20, 2026, submission deadline.
Residents will have an opportunity to provide input during a public comment period regarding
the draft annual action plan. Notice is expected to be published on June 7, 2026. The public com-
ment period will begin on June 8, 2026, and it will end on July 7, 2026.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
For the 2026 program year, the city will have $1,034,533 in CDBG funds from the U.S. Department
of Housing and Urban Development. The city's contribution to the projects recommended for
program year 2026 is limited to new CDBG funds awarded to the city by the federal government,
carry-over CDBG funds and program income generated by previously funded activities. All fund-
ing will be accounted for in the city’s Community Development Block Grant Program fund.

MEETING DATE: May 27, 2026
ITEM:
Motorola Solutions APX8500 Mobile In-Vehicle Radios for Fire Department—State of Illinois Joint
Purchasing Program
($619,323)
OBJECTIVE:
Replace existing mobile in-vehicle radios that have reached the end of their service life with new
radios and included licensing and technical support.
RECOMMENDATION:
Award the contract to Motorola Solutions, Inc., for the purchase of 61 APX8500 mobile in-vehicle
radios, licensing and support.
The fire department in 2013 replaced the city-wide radio system including the mobile radios which
are in all police and fire vehicles. These radios are now at the end of their serviceable life, meaning
they will not be supported by Motorola and require replacement. This process began last year
with phase one being replacement of all mobile radios in police department vehicles. Phase two
will be to replace all mobile radios in the fire department vehicles. The purchase of APX8500 mo-
bile radios from Motorola Solutions, Inc., will provide a new level of radio technology coupled with
maintenance and support ensuring public safety operations are not disrupted and remain seam-
less.
BACKGROUND
The city in 20212 contracted with Motorola Solutions, Inc., to replace the city-wide radios com-
munications system with the statewide STARCOMM21 radio system. This new system allowed
for state-wide interoperability between federal, state, county and local public safety agencies. In
early 2013 the new equipment was placed into service inclusive of portable handheld radios and
mobile in-vehicle radios. These radios are used daily by public safety personnel, and the city has
maintained a support contract which obligates Motorola Solutions to repair equipment when
necessary.
OPERATIONAL ANALYSIS
The mobile in-vehicle radios are now thirteen years old and are at the end of their support life.
Repairs are only available on a “best effort” basis and may be returned unrepaired if parts are
1
unavailable. The department is seeking to purchase 61 mobile in-vehicle radios from Motorola
Solutions to ensure that public safety operations are not disrupted and remain seamless. This is
the second phase of this project, the first phase, which occurred in 2025, replaced all the police
department mobile radios.
The purchase of 61 mobile in-vehicle radios from Motorola Solutions will allow the fire depart-
ment to maintain an effective communication system allowing reliable communications within
the city and with external public safety agencies.
INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED
The Emergency Telephone System Board on October 16, 2025 voted and unanimously approved
the purchase of 61 in-vehicle radios, licenses, and support services from Motorola Solutions.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
The purchase of 61 in-vehicle radios, licenses and support services from Motorola Solution will
be made utilizing funds from the Emergency Telephone System Board (ETSB). Once the new ra-
dios have been installed, the fire department will sell the old mobile radios to smaller depart-
ments in the surrounding area. The fire department successfully completed a similar process with
its portable radios several years ago. The fire department anticipates generating approximately
$90,000 from the sale of the old mobile radios.

LEGAL IMPACT
The process for acquiring the mobile in-vehicle radios, licenses, and support services is made by
utilizing the State of Illinois joint purchasing contract CMT2028589. The city’s procurement ordi-
nance expressly authorizes “purchases made pursuant to any joint purchasing program spon-
sored by the state or other governmental agency or association.”
ALTERNATIVES
1. The city council may reject the Illinois Joint Purchasing pricing and direct staff to seek bids
without the benefit of the joint purchasing agreement.
2. The city council may choose not to approve the purchase requiring utilization of the ex-
isting radios without maintenance or support.

NEXT STEPS
Purchase, configure, program, and install mobile in-car radios.

MEETING DATE: May 27, 2026
ITEM:
AI Assisted Automated Roadway Condition Monitoring Services—Agreement with CityRover, Inc.
($37,292 Over Three-Year Term)
OBJECTIVE:
Implement AI-assisted roadway detection technology to improve pothole identification, roadway
condition awareness and operational response efficiencies within the Public Works Department.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve a three-year agreement with CityRover, Inc., for automated roadway detection and
monitoring services.
The proposed CityRover platform will allow the public works department to use AI-assisted road-
way monitoring technology to automatically identify potholes and roadway deficiencies in real
time while city crews conduct normal daily operations. By installing smart camera systems on
existing city street sweepers, the city will continuously collect roadway condition data during the
seven-to-ten full citywide street sweeping cycles completed annually. This approach eliminates
the need for dedicated pothole patrol vehicles and significantly reduces windshield time associ-
ated with manual roadway inspections. The technology will improve operational efficiency by
providing staff with automated detection alerts, GPS-based location tracking and real-time road-
way condition reporting, allowing maintenance crews to respond more quickly, prioritize repairs
more effectively and proactively identify roadway deficiencies before resident complaints are re-
ceived
During 2025, the city evaluated multiple vendors and roadway monitoring platforms before de-
termining that CityRover provided the best operational and technical solution for Elgin’s needs. A
pilot deployment conducted between September and November 2025 more clearly demonstrated
those efficiencies, and staff is recommending approval of this purchase agreement and software
management program in a continued effort in utilizing technology to improve service delivery.
BACKGROUND
The public works department continually evaluates technologies intended to improve opera-
tional efficiency, roadway maintenance response and asset management capabilities. During
2025, the city reviewed proposals and demonstrations from multiple vendors offering AI-assisted
roadway monitoring and condition assessment technologies.
Following evaluation of available systems, staff determined that CityRover’s platform repre-
sented the best overall operational fit for the city’s needs at the most reasonable introductory
price as the city enters this space.
Between September and November 2025, the city conducted a field trial utilizing three auto-
mated detection enabled camera systems installed within city street sweepers. Public works
crews actively utilized the software during normal operations to evaluate system performance
and determine whether the platform improved operational efficiencies associated with roadway
condition monitoring and pothole identification.
The pilot program demonstrated the system’s ability to identify potholes and roadway deficien-
cies while simultaneously providing real-time location data to operational crews. Staff deter-
mined that the system provided measurable operational value and could improve the city’s abil-
ity to proactively identify roadway deficiencies and efficiently dispatch maintenance crews.
OPERATIONAL ANALYSIS
The public works department currently relies on manual roadway patrol operations, resident ser-
vice requests and field observations to identify potholes and roadway deficiencies throughout
the city. These processes require significant windshield time and can delay identification of road-
way issues between scheduled inspections or reported complaints.
The CityRover plat-
form supplements
these existing prac-
tices by utilizing au-
tomated detection
technology mounted
within existing fleet
vehicles.
A significant operational advantage of the platform is the city’s ability to use existing street
sweeping routes as the primary data collection mechanism. Elgin’s street sweeping program
completes approximately seven-to-ten full citywide sweeping cycles annually, allowing the city
to continuously collect roadway condition information throughout the year without requiring
additional dedicated patrol vehicles or staffing resources.
The software will reduce windshield time associated with traditional pothole patrol operations
while improving dispatch efficiency by providing crews with more accurate and real-time road-
way condition information. The system will also supplement resident-generated service requests
by proactively identifying roadway deficiencies before complaints are received.
2
Initially, the city intends to focus use of the platform on automated pothole detection and
maintenance response coordination. Future applications of the software may include supple-
mental support for pavement condition indexing, roadway condition reporting and broader asset
management initiatives. The platform is not intended to replace the city’s formal pavement con-
dition rating systems, but rather to provide additional operational data and field intelligence to
support maintenance prioritization and infrastructure planning efforts.
The public works department staff coordinated with the information technology services (ITS)
department and the engineering division throughout the evaluation and pilot implementation
process. Staff believe the annualized cost of approximately $12,500 represents an appropriate
operational investment considering the efficiencies and operational improvements demon-
strated during the pilot deployment.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
The proposed agreement with CityRover, Inc. includes a three-year subscription for three smart
camera systems, and associated roadway detection software services at a total cost of $37,292.
The annualized cost of the agreement is approximately $12,500 per year. Staff believe the oper-
ational efficiencies realized during the pilot program justify the proposed investment and provide
long-term operational value to the Public Works Department.

MEETING DATE: May, 27 2026
ITEM:
National Street Bridge Rehabilitation Project Construction Engineering Services Agreement with
HR Green, Inc.—Amendment Agreement No. 1
($268,661)
OBJECTIVE:
Provide professional engineering services necessary to support construction administration and
observation for the National Street Bridge Rehabilitation Project.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve Amendment Agreement No. 1 to the professional services agreement with HR Green,
Inc. to provide construction engineering services associated with the National Street Bridge Re-
habilitation Project.
The amendment to the professional services agreement with HR Green, Inc. adds construction
administration and observation services necessary to support the National Street Bridge Rehabil-
itation Project. The amendment increases the contract amount by $268,661, bringing the total
engineering agreement cost to $448,635. These services will provide on-site inspection, contract
administration, and coordination during construction to ensure the project is delivered in accord-
ance with approved plans and specifications.
Included on this evening’s city council agenda is the recommended construction contract award
to Martam Construction, Inc. in the amount of $2,688,731 for the National Street Bridge Rehabil-
itation Project. This amendment agreement will allow HR Green, Inc., to provide the necessary
construction oversight and administration services associated with the recommended construc-
tion contract award.
BACKGROUND
The city council on January 14, 2026, approved a professional services agreement with HR Green,
Inc., in the amount of $179,974 to provide design engineering services for the National Street
Bridge Rehabilitation Project. The original agreement contemplated the preparation of plans,
specifications, and bidding documents, as well as bid assistance, but did not include construction
engineering services.
As the project transitions from design into construction, professional engineering services are
required to support project delivery in the field.
The National Street Bridge, constructed in 1949, has experienced ongoing deterioration identi-
fied through routine inspections. While the bridge remains safe for public use, staff recom-
mended a preventive rehabilitation to extend its service life by an estimated 10 to 15 years and
defer the need for full replacement.
The city completed the only other major rehabilitation of the bridge structure in 1990, with sub-
sequent minor repair work in 1998 (cleaning and painting of bridge railings), 2013 (bridge railing
repairs; abutment and center beam concrete repairs and approach slab repairs) and 2017 (partial
depth deck slab repairs, replacement of approach slab asphalt surfaces).
OPERATIONAL ANALYSIS
The proposed amendment provides construction engineering services, including construction ad-
ministration and on-site observation throughout the duration of the project. These services are
necessary to ensure that construction activities and materials conform to the approved contract
documents and applicable standards.
The scope of services includes start-up coordination, full-time construction observation, docu-
mentation of daily activities, quantity tracking, preparation of pay estimates and change orders,
and coordination with the contractor and city staff. The consultant will also attend weekly pro-
gress meetings, provide design support during construction, review shop drawings and requests
for information, and prepare record drawings and final project documentation.
Construction observation is anticipated to occur over approximately twenty weeks, with an on-
site construction engineer providing daily oversight during active construction. These services are
standard for projects of this scale and complexity and are critical to maintaining quality control,
ensuring contract compliance, and managing project risks during construction.
This amendment aligns with the original intent of the agreement and reflects the natural pro-
gression of the project from design into construction. Utilizing HR Green for these services pro-
vides continuity, as the firm developed the design plans and is familiar with the project scope and
technical requirements.
INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED
None.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
The proposed Amendment Agreement No. 1 with HR Green, Inc. is not to exceed $268,661. This
will bring the total agreement amount, including the original design services, to $448,635.

LEGAL IMPACT
Approving this amendment requires an exception to the procurement ordinance, requiring ap-
proval by two-thirds of the city council.
ALTERNATIVES
The city council may choose not to approve the amendment and direct staff to procure construc-
tion engineering services through a separate consultant. However, this would introduce ineffi-
ciencies, require additional coordination, and reduce continuity between design and construc-
tion phases. With current staffing levels, city staff do not have the capacity to provide full-time
construction observation services in-house.
NEXT STEPS
1. Execute Amendment Agreement No. 1 with HR Green, Inc.
2. Coordinate preconstruction activities and issue notice to proceed for construction engi-
neering services
3. Begin construction observation in conjunction with contractor mobilization
