PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
The Village of Buffalo Grove is bidding the Cambridge on the Lake Lift Station Reconstruction Project with a scheduled
bid opening of November 18,2021 and a target Board Approval date of December 6,2021. The Village seeks full time
engineering inspection services for the work that includes lift station demolition and construction;force main
construction;sanitary sewer replacement;water main replacement;detention pond and volume control
construction;access road construction; pavement and landscape restoration; and other appurtenant work.
PROJECT SCOPE
The following tasks will be performed as part of this project,
The Resident Engineer(RE), Resident Inspector(RI),and Project Engineer(PE)will attend the preconstruction meeting
along with Village Public Works staff; Contractor and his subcontractors; other representatives as required. Meeting
topics include progress schedule, construction staging, material and equipment storage, demolition techniques,
equipment submittals, general correspondence procedures, traffic control, subcontractor roles, and submittal for
payment. The RE, and the Contractor's 24-hour emergency numbers will also be made available to participants. The
RE will prepare meeting minutes and distribute them to all participants.
Ciorba will provide review services for information and data submitted by the Contractor for materials and equipment.
Ciorba will log, stamp, and track all submittals received, and identify outstanding submittals. All submittals will be
reviewed for compliance with the intent of the Contract documents. Submittal mark-ups and review letters will be
generated for each submittal in a timely manner and e-mailed to the contractor with copies to the Village. Ciorba will
notify the Village of any substitutions, deficiencies, or changes in the submitted materials when compared to the
contract documents. An assessment of any deviations will be made by Ciorba and presented to the Village with a
request for acceptance or denial. Ciorba will advise the Village of any disapprovals in submittals due to non-
conformance with the intent of the specifications.
Ciorba Group's Construction Engineering model includes a full-time RE supported by the PE. Alternatively,the project
may include a full-time RI dedicated to the project, supported by the RE and PE. The model is dependent upon the
contractor's ultimate schedule, which will need to build in significant lead time for lift station components (pumps,
control panel,and generator). Although a full construction period of 43 weeks(12/20/21-10/14/22) is anticipated for
the station, it has been estimated that actual full-time site work will be closer to 28 weeks to time the improvements
with the equipment delivery. Survey crew members will also be available to complete any necessary survey work tasks.
The PE will be on site weekly for progress meetings and will be the leading inspector for milestone inspections,
including the start-up inspection when the pumps,generator,controls,and power failure scenarios are reviewed.
Construction will be monitored for conformance with the contract documents and Village requirements. If there are
any unforeseen conditions or issues that develop,Ciorba's design engineers will be available to provide options to the
Village to mitigate costly delays. Inspector Daily Reports will be completed on Ciorba standard forms. Ciorba will also
maintain a diary describing the work accomplished each day and will document all work with photographs. Weekly
progress reports will be prepared and provided to the Contractor and the Village. Monthly pay estimates will be
prepared and submitted to the Village for review and processing.
Other duties for the RE will be to continue public stakeholder involvement by addressing any concerns or issues of the
residents. At minimum,this will consist of answering phone calls, discussing items on site, receiving and sending e-
mails, and following up communication. Issues will be resolved in a timely manner as determined by the Village and
situational needs.
As an on-site extension of the Village, Ciorba will maintain close communication with the Village's designated
representative. This will be accomplished by as-needed daily communication and progress meetings chaired by Ciorba
every week once the contractor is mobilized. Invitees to the weekly meeting will include the Village's designated
representative, other Village staff such as Public Works personnel, the Contractor and his subcontractors, and other
stakeholders,permitting agencies,or utility representatives as needed. Meetings will be held on-site.

0 Yr �.6�,,,.,
Where the plan quantities for excavation are to be used as the final pay quantities,the Engineer will make sufficient
checks to determine if the work has been completed in conformance with the plan cross sections. This includes a full
topographic survey of the Alternative B area for comparison to the pre-construction existing conditions.
Ciorba will maintain a punch list of construction items that require correction before final acceptance. The site will be
inspected for completion of punch list items and the Contractor will be notified of any incomplete items.Afterthe punch
list is completed,site inspections will be conducted by Ciorba with the Village and the Contractor.
Draft Operation and Maintenance manuals and warranties will be reviewed by the RE for completeness,with comments
provided for the contractor based on this review. Final version will be received by Ciorba Group and transferred to the
Village.
Final documentation papers for project will be prepared for acceptance by the Village. This includes all material
certifications and testing results, final quantity measurements, balancing change orders and final pay estimates. As
construction proceeds,any modifications to the plans will be field measured and documented in the final construction
record drawings. The two sets of final construction record drawings will be provided to the Village as a hard copy in the
form of a red-lined field set.
