Agenda Item II. APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF THE AUGUST 25, 2025 PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE
MEETING
Acting Chair Gottschall asked if any members of the Committee had any proposed changes to the
minutes.
Trustee Lojkovic made a motion to approve the August 25, 2025 Public Works Committee Meeting
Minutes as presented, and Trustee Gottschall seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously.
Agenda Item III.1. DISCUSSION CONCERNING LEAD SERVICE LINE REPLACEMENTS
2
Management Analyst Schmidt opened the discussion by first reviewing the takeaways from the March
19 and August 25 meetings, and provided updated information on the number of remaining lead service
lines in Kenilworth, the requirements of LSLRNA, and the various cost sharing programs proposed by
nearby communities.
Management Analyst Schmidt provided the Committee with four different cost-sharing program options
that range the financial commitment required of the Village versus the homeowner. Trustees quickly
aligned on the belief that the Village should pay for any main replacement that is from the main to the
valve and contribute a fixed amount to any resident who is replacing the portion of the line from the
valve to the meter.
Trustee Lojkovic asked if the fixed amount provided would increase over the years to keep pace with
inflation, to which Management Analyst Schmidt responded that could be included in the policy
development. Trustee Ottsen asked if an increase in water rates could generate the funds needed for
the program, to which Management Analyst Schmidt responded that a water rate study is budgeted for
FY26 and that option can be explored. Village Manager Thake provided that from an equity standpoint
this could be difficult, as you would have all residents paying into the program when only a fraction of
homes will benefit from the program. Village President Kaz agreed that avenue could be difficult.
Trustee Ottsen then offered that the funds generated from an increased water rate could be set aside to
fund the public portion specifically.
Management Analyst Schmidt asked the Committee to provide formal direction on how to continue
developing the policy. A motion was made to recommend to the Village Board of Trustees that (1) the
Village Board approve a text amendment stating that the Village owns the water main infrastructure up
to the valve, and that option one, where the Village will fund the replacement up to the valve and offer
residents a fixed amount of $3,000 to replace their service lines from the valve to the meter, be
recommended to the Board. Trustee Lojkovic provided the motion and Trustee Gottschall provided the
second to the motion.
A voice vote was taken as follows on the motion:
Yea: Gottschall, Ottsen, Lojkovic
Nay: None
Absent: None
Abstain: None
Agenda Item IV. BUSINESS FROM THE PUBLIC

Subject: Recommendation of the Green Bay Road Enhancement Project Priorities
Summary: One of the goals outlined in the FY26 budget was to continue the review of the
configuration of Green Bay Road within the business district and move forward with a Phase I
Engineering Study. Before this phase begins, the Village Board requested that the project
priorities be identified. With this goal in mind, a survey was developed with the intention of
confirming the vision residents have for the future of the Business District. Staff now request
the Public Works Committee to review the survey data and confirm the list of ranked priorities
to the Village Board.
Background of Matter: The Village Board and community at-large have considered various
iterations of a Green Bay Road Enhancement project dating back to 2013. During one of these
iterations, the 2022 Green Bay Road Corridor Strategic Visioning process, the Village surveyed
residents to identify priorities for improvements within the Business District.
The results of that survey indicated priorities such as gathering spaces, illumination, and sales
tax-generating businesses. Amenities, including parking and multi-family housing, were not as
important.
In line with the 2026 budget goals, Phase 1 Engineering is set to begin later this spring. Before
this next step commences, the Village Board has asked that the project priorities be reaffirmed.
A survey developed to gauge this information was published on February 18
th and closed on
March 11th. In total, 240 survey responses were collected. Below, the survey questions and the
number of responses respective to each option are provided. The questions are listed in order of
level of priority based on response data.
1. How important is it to beautify our business corridor to reflect the overall
quality of our neighborhood? This could include things like shade trees,
benches, planters and lighting.
• Very Unimportant/Unimportant: 13
• Neutral: 19
• Important/Very Important: 207
• Unsure/No Answer: 1
2. How important is walkability to our business corridor from any home in
Kenilworth? This means that accessing the business corridor is safe, accessible,
and has practical pedestrian connections.
• Very Unimportant/Unimportant: 18
• Neutral: 26

such as retail stores and restaurants?
• Very Unimportant/Unimportant: 18
• Neutral: 33
• Important/Very Important: 188
• Unsure/No Answer: 1
4. How important is it for the business corridor to offer residents and visitors
gathering spaces? This could include things like wider sidewalks, public plazas,
farmers markets, or any space where people gather, connect, and foster
community.
• Very Unimportant/Unimportant: 22
• Neutral: 33
• Important/Very Important: 182
• Unsure/No Answer: 3
5. How important is it for the business corridor to be well-illuminated for safety
in the evening?
• Very Unimportant/Unimportant: 15
• Neutral: 43
• Important/Very Important: 180
• Unsure/No Answer: 2

• Important/Very Important: 142
• Unsure/No Answer: 1
7. How important is bikeability to the business corridor from any home in
Kenilworth?
• Very Unimportant/Unimportant: 65
• Neutral: 67
• Important/Very Important: 106
• Unsure/No Answer: 2
8. How important is it to have high-quality multi-family housing in the business
corridor? This could mean apartments, townhomes, and/or luxury
condominiums.
• Very Unimportant/Unimportant: 116
• Neutral: 67
• Important/Very Important: 57
• Unsure/No Answer: 1

The ranking of priorities, based on number of people who selected “important” or “very
important”, are as follows:
Rank Priority Percentage
1 Beautify the Corridor 86
2 Walkability 81
3 Sales-Tax Generating Businesses 78
4 Gathering Spaces 76
5 Well-Illuminated 75
6 Parking 59
7 Bikeability 44
8 Multi-Family Housing 24
The 2026 survey results confirm that the priorities that were both most important and least
important to residents in 2022 are largely the same, with the only variations being in how the
questions were worded and the 2026 survey’s inclusion of “walkability” as a priority. Using the
data available, staff recommend the Public Works Committee discuss the results of the survey
and provide a recommendation to the Village Board on project priorities for the Phase 1
Engineering Study.
Financial Impact: None.
Recommendation: The Village Manager recommends that the Public Works Committee
discuss the results of this survey and provide a recommendation to the Village Board.
Attachment: None.

Subject: Resolution Authorizing Execution of a
Professional Services Agreement with the Ciorba Group of Chicago, Illinois for Green
Bay Road Design Services for Phase I Engineering Study in the Amount not to Exceed
of $432,000
Summary:
One of the goals in the FY26 Budget is to continue forward with the Green Bay Road
Enhancement Project with a Phase I Engineering Study. Based upon the completion of the
conceptual design , i t is recommended that the Village engage Ciorba Group to complete the
Phase I Engineering.
Background of Matter:
The Village has been assessing community goals and opportunities for improvement for the
Green Bay Road corridor for close to twenty years. This has encompassed comprehensive
plans, design guidelines, corridor plans, and community workgroups. Early in the evaluation
process, the desire to reconfigure Green Bay Road to improve safety, review parking, and
revitalize the corridor emerged as a prominent theme.
In late 2025 , and in preparation of FY26 budget goals, it was evident the Green Bay Road
Enhancement Project would need to move forward with Phase I Engineering Study to continue
making progress on the streetscape and alignment concepts, thereby moving it closer to reality.
After the January 26, 2026 Village Board Project presentation, staff was directed to rank project
priorities in advance of proceeding with the Phase I study. Under Committee agenda item III.1,
this matter is discussed in greater detail.
The agenda item before the Public Works Committee for consideration is the Professional
Services Agreement with the Ciorba Group of Chicago, Illinois for Green Bay Road Design
Services for Phase I Engineering Study in the Amount not to Exceed of $432,000.
The purpose of the Phase I Engineering study would be to further explore the preferred roadway
and streetscape plan from Kenilworth Avenue to Winnetka Avenue in accordance with IDOT
design criteria. The work would encompass both the Village of Kenilworth and Winnetka,
therefore both communities will be engaged during the process and share costs.
The Phase I Engineering report is a required step to proceed to Phase II and roadway
construction. This, and the fact that the roadway is owned and maintained by the Illinois
Department of Transportation. A detailed description of the proposed services, which includes
several coordination meetings, multiple public meetings , and consideration of five geometric

Agreement:
1. Road Diet with diagonal parking on west side (with access lane & median), sidewalk
on east and west side, and parallel parking on east side.
2. Road Diet with diagonal parking on west side (with access lane & median), sidewalk
on west side only, parallel parking on east side.
3. Road Diet with diagonal parking on west side (no median), sidewalk on west or both
sides, parallel parking on east side.
4. Road Diet with parallel parking on both sides, sidewalk on west only or both sides
(Sidewalk width will be larger if placed on west side only).
5. Road Diet with parallel parking on both sides, bike lanes, sidewalk on west or both
sides (Sidewalk width will be larger if placed on west side only).
Bid Waiver – Section 3 of Purchasing Manual
Due to Ciorba Group’s familiarity with the project and successful delivery of the conceptual
design, staff is seeking a waiver of typical bid requirements, for the Professional Services
Agreement for Green Bay Road Design Services for Phase I Engineering Study in the Amount
not to Exceed of $432,000.
There are a number of reasons the proposal from the Ciorba Group was identified as preferred.
They include:
• Experience working on the Winnetka streetscape enhancement project;
• Proposed partnership with Teska Associates, who also worked on the streetscape project;
• Experience with Kenilworth working on several projects, including Green Streets and the
Green Bay Road Conceptual Design;
• Experience with grant applications and navigating the complex process of State funding;
and
• Cost savings based on project knowledge.
Based on the se reasons, the village managers of both communities recommend a bid waiver to
enter into a professional services agreement with the Ciorba Group . Doing so will allow the
Project to continue moving forward without delays.
As written, the Village of Kenilworth would engage the Ciorba Group. However, Winnetka
representatives would be participating as desired at all stages. If the agreement is authorized
by the Public Works Committee and Village Board, work would commence as soon as late April
or early May. The Village of Winnetka is likely to consider the proposal in mid-April.
Supplemental Background – Green Bay Road Efforts
Green Bay Road Enhancement Project
In 2023, the villages of Kenilworth and Winnetka entered into a joint agreement
with Ciorba Group to initiate a study of Green Bay Road between Kenilworth Avenue and
Winnetka Avenue. The purpose of the study was to explore the feasibility and desirability of
roadway reconfiguration concepts and identify streetscape enhancements. Staff from
both communities worked with Ciorba to develop potential concepts inspired by the Green Bay
Road Conceptual Transportation and Streetscape Plan to share with residents. In 2024, several
open houses were held to gather public input on potential streetscape and alignment concepts for
Green Bay Road.
Green Bay Road Visioning Process
In 2021, the Green Bay Road Strategic Vision Committee was assembled to evaluate whether
the vision developed as part of the 2008 Comprehensive Plan remained relevant to the business
corridor. The Committee’s review process included focus group meetings, public forums, and
9
stakeholder surveys. During the visioning process, several commenters raised concerns related
to traffic speed and pedestrian safety along Green Bay Road. Notably, they believed this to be
the biggest impediment to development and suggested a lane reduction to slow traffic, additional
parking, new pedestrian crossings, and larger sidewalks.
Given these concerns, in addition to the renewed interest in the business district and desire to
create a pedestrian-friendly area, a review of the configuration of Green Bay Road within the
business district was identified as a primary goal of the Village Board in 2023.
Green Bay Road Conceptual Transportation and Streetscape Plan
One of the first steps in the comprehensive evaluation of the corridor was to plan and design for
better multi-modal transportation. The analysis, which began in 2012, was led by the Plan
Commission and included representatives from Sears School, the Park District, PACE, METRA,
Union Pacific, and IDOT, with consulting support from Houseal Lavigne
(planning), Gewalt Hamilton (traffic engineering), Active Transportation Alliance (transit
specialists), and Altamanu (urban planning). Following diligent work by all parties to gather
stakeholder feedback through surveys and workshops, the Green Bay Road Conceptual
Transportation and Streetscape Plan was delivered to the Village Board in October 2013.
Several of the recommended changes have since been implemented:
• Reconfigured parking on Richmond Road, east of the Metra station;
• Reconfigured Metra drop-off area;
• Realigned Sterling Road intersection;
• New development opportunity at 604 Green Bay Road; and
• Shortened pedestrian crossing at Kenilworth Avenue / Richmond Road intersection.
Among the recommendations was a suggestion to reconfigure Green Bay Road to incorporate
diagonal parking and reduce the drive lanes from four to two. The intent was to meet community
interest in maintaining traffic flow, creating a more vibrant commercial area, and to establish a
distinct community character.
Policy:
Village Board approval is required to engage in non -emergency agreements in excess of $20,000.
Additionally, the Village Purchasing Manual guides the process for the purchase of materials in
excess of $20,000. Section 1 General Provisions of the Kenilworth Purchasing Manual provides
an exception to the Formal Bidding process when professional services are sought as well as
Section 3 provides for a bid waiver in connection with these services.
Financial Impact:
The proposal from Ciorba is for an amount not to exceed $432,000. The Village of Winnetka has
tentatively agreed to pay 30% ($ 129,600), leaving $302,400 in Village expenses. The study area
is approximately 70% in Kenilworth and 30% in Winnetka. The FY26 TIF fund included
$375,000 in projected expenditures for the project.
Recommendation:
The Village Manager recommends that the Public Works Committee consider and recommend
approval of this item to move forward to the Village Board for consideration at the next Village
Board meeting.

PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
This project involves developing a preferred preliminary roadway and streetscape plan for
Green Bay Road from Kenilworth Avenue to Winnetka Avenue. Alternates developed in the
Green Bay Road Concept Study will be developed further along with new alternates following
IDOT design criteria. In addition to the Village of Kenilworth, engaging both the Village of
Winnetka and IDOT will be critical to the success of any proposed concept for this section of
Green Bay Road. Successful completion of the Concept Refinement Phase now allows the
Villages to initiate a full Phase I preliminary engineering study
All deliverables to the Village and other organizations will be provided electronically unless
otherwise noted.

Deliverable: Typical Section Plan Sheets.
vi. Develop ADA sidewalk detail sheets at side streets within proposed
construction limits (includes Park Drive, Melrose Avenue, Wayland Avenue,
Roger Avenue, and other proposed crossing locations from the east to west
side of Green Bay Road).
vii. Since Green Bay Road is an IDOT significant route, a Transportation
Management Plan (TMP) will be developed for the preferred alignment and
submitted to IDOT for approval. The TMP will identify delays associated
with the project and identify measures to notify the public and reduce
congestion during construction. Typical sections will be provided for each
stage of construction. It is assumed that the project will be constructed
using stage construction and a detour route will not be used.
b. Environmental Studies
i. Prepare Environmental Survey Request (ESR) form and submit to IDOT.
ii. Since Green Bay Road is a State Route, IDOT will perform the special waste
and wetland analysis.
iii. It is assumed that wetlands do not exist within the project limits and a
wetland impact analysis will not be required.
c. Geometric Studies
i. Develop project specific design criteria and document all potential design
exceptions that would be required. Perform concept level geometric
checks following IDOT reconstruction or rehabilitation criteria. The
geometric checks will evaluate the existing alignments, superelevation
rates and transition lengths.

Re: Pavement Investigation
Green Bay Road
Kenilworth, Illinois
Dear Mr. O’Laughlin:
Submitted for your consideration is our proposal to provide the requested pavement section
investigation and subsurface soil condition analysis for the proposed improvements along
Green Bay Road from Kenilworth Avenue to Winnetka Avenue in the Village of Kenilworth,
Illinois.
Scope of the Investigation
A total of 7 boring locations will be established at intervals of approximately 500 feet and on
alternate sides of the centerline. Offsets from centerline will be varied to include various
portions of existing pavement. We will contact JULIE to locate public utilities.
At each location existing pavement materials will be cored to determine material types and
thicknesses. The soils will be auger drilled to establish the soil profile within 10.0 feet of existing
surface elevations. A soil sample will be obtained immediately below the base using a split
barrel sampler and at 2.5 foot intervals for the remaining depth of the boring. Additional
samples may be obtained from the auger flights. A pocket penetrometer reading will be
performed on testable samples of cohesive soil.
Soil samples will be returned to our laboratory for testing including determination of moisture
content. Cohesive soils obtained by split barrel sampling will be further tested to determine dry
unit weight and unconfined compressive strength. Selected soil samples will be tested for
determination of grain-size distribution, Atterberg limits and other pertinent testing.
Engineering Evaluation, Report
The field investigation and laboratory testing will be completed under the direction of a
Registered Professional Engineer. Preliminary information will be available upon request.
Upon completion of the investigation an engineering evaluation will be completed and a Phase I
report prepared. The report will present our findings and appropriate recommendations.

RE: Green Bay Road Phase 1 Streetscape, Kenilworth – Landscape Architectural scope
Tha
nk you for the opportunity to continue to assist Ciorba Group, the Village of Kenilworth and the
Village of Winnetka with the above-mentioned project. Teska provided design services to Ciorba Group
for conceptual streetscape design and public outreach between August 2023 and February 2024. We
understand Village staff wishes to build upon earlier design efforts and to proceed with additional
design studies and public outreach for the Green Bay Road Corridor project.
STREETSCAPE DESIGN SERVICES SCOPE
Introduction: The Streetscape Design work is focused on Green Bay Road, from Kenilworth Avenue at
the south to Winnetka Avenue at the north. This assignment will continue the streetscape and corridor
design work conducted by Ciorba / Teska between August 2023 and February 2024. The work also builds
upon previous corridor studies conducted by the Villages of Kenilworth and Winnetka below:
- Village of Kenilworth Green Bay Road Conceptual Transportation + Streetscape Plan (2013)
- Village of Winnetka Downtown Master Plan (2016); Streetscape + Signage Plan (2018); and
Comprehensive Plan (2023).
The ou
tcome of this design work would be a refined concept level streetscape plan supported by
recommended materials, products, and plantings. The plan would be supported by a conceptual cost
estimate. Special focus would be on promoting the corridor business environment, opportunities for
placemaking, gateway entry features, beautification, and pedestrian safety for the Villages of Kenilworth
and Winnetka. Streetscape features that would be addressed include lighting, paving, furnishings,
gateway features, and plantings.
18
S
TREETSCAPE DESIGN SERVICES SCOPE (continued)
1. Village review meetings - corridor alternatives review. Teska will review corridor alternatives to
be prepared by Ciorba. Teska will attend up to two Village review meetings to evaluate and
discuss alternatives towards determining two preferred alternatives for public review.
2. Alternative streetscape concepts packages - two preferred alternatives. Based on Village
direction to proceed with two preferred alternatives, Teska will develop two concept plan
packages. Two concept plan packages will be supported by plans, sections, vignettes and
product and material photographs as appropriate to convey the design intent. Streetscape
concept packages will be shared with staff via teleconference for review and feedback. Teska
will make updates to the concept packages prior to the public meeting, as required.
3. Public meeting and exhibits. Based on Village feedback about the streetscape concepts, Teska
will prepare public meeting exhibits and materials to describe the two corridor alternatives and
to receive public feedback. Public meeting exhibits may include the following: Project
introduction and summary of work completed to date; Existing conditions maps and photos; Two
alternative streetscape concept packages (plans, sections, vignettes, product photos). Exhibits
will be designed to be engaging and to invite quantitative and qualitative participant feedback.
Teska will provide digital postcards / flyers for the Village’s use in distributing announcements to
the community. Meeting logistics shall be by the Village. Following the public meeting, Teska will
prepare a meeting summary.
4. Village review meeting and selection of final concept. Following the public meeting we will
discuss public feedback with Village staff via teleconference. Together we will discuss which
concept – or elements from each concept – will be carried forward into the final streetscape
concept package.
5. Final streetscape concept package – one preferred concept. Based on direction from Village
staff on the preferred concept, Teska will develop a draft final concept plan packages for staff
review. The concept plan package will be supported by plans, sections, vignettes and product
and material photographs as appropriate to convey the design intent. A conceptual cost
estimate will be prepared. The draft final streetscape concept package will be shared with staff
via teleconference for review and feedback. Teska will make updates to the concept package as
required. The final streetscape concept package will be documented and provided to Ciorba in
PDF format.
6. Team and staff coordination. In addition to the meetings noted above, Teska anticipates
coordination with Ciorba and Village staff via email, telephone and teleconference.

Subject: Recommendation to Approve an Agreement with TYLin in the Amount of $16,300 to
Complete a Parking Study
Summary: Limited parking along the Green Bay Road corridor is often referenced by
community members as a concern when discussing future development. The Village would like
to evaluate the existing parking supply and potential solutions to address these concerns. After
reviewing four proposals for a parking study, staff recommend an agreement be approved with
TYLin in the amount of $16,300. The Public Works Committee should review the proposal and
provide a formal recommendation to the Village Board.
Background of Matter: The 2026 Budget includes funds for a Phase I study for the Green Bay
Road Enhancement Project. Before this phase of the Project begins, the Village Board has
requested that guiding priorities be identified. Among the priorities to consider is increasing the
available parking supply in the Business District.
Limited available parking has been long referenced as a concern in the Project area that
includes portions of Green Bay Road and Park Drive. An opportunity exists as part of the Green
Bay Road Enhancement Project to reconfigure parking to create new spaces. Doing so, however,
may impact other priorities, such as expanded sidewalks or adding bike lanes.
To help with the priority analysis, staff requested proposals from several local firms to complete
a parking study. The study would examine existing parking supply, use patterns, and make
recommendations for improvements. Projections on future parking availability and behavior in
response to development would be available as an add-on service. If the final report notes that
adequate parking supply exists, the Village may want to give preference to other priorities.
Four proposals to complete a parking study along Kenilworth’s Green Bay Road corridor from
local firms were received:
Parking Study Proposals
Firm Price Projections Lead Time
Desman $ 11,500 $2,600 Three weeks
KLOA $ 15,000 Included Eight weeks
TYLin $ 16,300 Included Five - six weeks
Considered By: Date:
Public Works Committee 03/19/26
Village of
27
Walker $ 19,900 Included Ten weeks
Proposals were evaluated based on their price, lead time, interview, and past experience with
the Project team. Based on these factors, TYLin was selected as the preferred consultant to move
forward with for the study. TYLin recently worked with Teska, a subcontractor for Kenilworth’s
Phase I Study, to perform a parking study for the Village of Glencoe’s business district. Given
their familiarity with the north shore and Green Bay Road, paired with their work experience
with Teska, staff are confident that they will produce a thoughtful report.
Policy: Village Board approval is required to engage in non -emergency agreements in excess of
$20,000. Additionally, the Village Purchasing Manual guides the process for the purchase of
materials in excess of $20,000. The practice of the Village is to solicit proposals for professional
services in a like manner.
Financial Impact: The proposal from TYLin is estimated at $ 16,300. Staff are waiting for an
updated proposal to exclude parking projections from the primary scope of work and list it as an
add-on task. It is expected that the total agreement cost will decrease as a result. The TIF fund
includes $100,000 for professional planning services for the Green Bay Road corridor.
Recommendation: The Village Manager recommends that the Pubic Works Committee
authorize the agreement with TYLin in the amount of $16,300.

RE: Proposal for Transportation Planning Services, Green Bay Road Parking Study,
Kenilworth, IL
Dear Heather:
TYLin is pleased to submit this proposal to the Village of Kenilworth (Client) to provide professional
transportation planning services related to the Kenilworth business district. It is our understanding
that the Village would like to better understand existing and future parking availability along and
around the Green Bay Road corridor as you assess potential lane reduction configurations. Based on
discussions with you and our familiarity with the area, TYLin developed the enclosed Scope of Services
to determine existing and future projected parking characteristics.
Our schedule for completing data collection and an existing conditions summary presentation (Task 1)
is approximately five to six weeks from receipt of the signed agreement and the necessary project-
related information. This estimated schedule is exclusive of atypical conditions in the business district
such as events or holiday weeks. If you accept this Scope of Services and budget, please sign where
indicated and return a copy of the proposal to our office. A rate sheet for hourly services is also
attached.
Thank you for the opportunity to support the Village.
Sincerely,
Sara Disney Haufe, PE, PTOE Kelly Conolly, PE
Vice President + Sector Manager Associate

SCOPE OF SERVICES
TYLin will evaluate parking supply and demand characteristics within the Kenilworth business district
defined generally as a study area along Green Bay Road from Ashland Lane to the Kenilworth village
limit and including some segments one block east and west of Green Bay Road such as areas on
Ashland Lane, Kenilworth Avenue, Richmond Road, Park Drive, and other local streets. Work
performed to complete this Scope of Services will consist of the following.
Task 1. Existing Conditions
Based on information provided by the Village and field studies conducted by the team, TYLin will
inventory publicly available parking options within the study area, including on-street parking, off-
street public parking, Metra parking, and others as deemed practical by the field data collection team.
Number of spaces by type or regulation will be recorded on a block-by-block basis.
TYLin will also conduct hourly parking occupancy counts within the study area during the following
periods:
• One typical weekday (from 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM)
• One typical Saturday (from 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM)
These timeframes were selected to coincide with various peak periods of activity of existing and
potential future land uses in the area, including commercial, restaurant, and office, as well as the
traditional commuter trends. Survey dates and time periods will be confirmed with the Client before
data collection takes place.
Existing condition parking survey findings will be documented within a presentation slide deck via
project mapping, charts, and tables, and will communicate parking shortages and surpluses, usage
patterns, and peak demand times, providing a baseline from which conclusions about future parking
demand can be drawn.
Task 2. Future Parking Projections & Analysis
Using the data collected in Task 1 (Existing Conditions), TYLin will assist the Village in projecting future
parking demand in the district. In order to accomplish this task, the Client must provide development
information for use in projecting future conditions in the study area, such as project location, land
use, size/density (in square feet, number of dwelling units, etc.) and assumed parking supply.
Using this information, and published data in ITE’s Parking Generation Manual, Sixth Edition and the
Urban Land Institute’s (ULI) Shared Parking, Third Edition adjusted to reflect the mixed-use and
transit-oriented nature of the area, TYLin will estimate peak parking demand generated by these
projects. The analysis will provide a comparative review of estimated parking demand relative to
future parking supply; the elimination of spaces or the introduction of additional supply will be
30
considered as provided by the Village. This Scope of Services covers one (1) development scenario
within the study area.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS
1. General. These Terms and Conditions, together with the executed proposal and any attachments thereto, and written modifications
made after the date the proposal is executed, constitute the Professional Services Agreement (“Agreement”) between the Choose
an item. (“Consultant”) and the person or entity to whom the proposal is addressed (“Client”) to perform the scope of services
(“Services”) set forth in the proposal for the project identified in the proposal (“Project”). The Agreement is the entire and
integrated agreement of the parties for the Project and it may be modified only in writing.
2. Independent Contractor. Consultant is an independent contractor and is not an employee, agent or partner of Client. Nothing in
this Agreement establishes a fiduciary relationship between Consultant and Client.
3. Standard of Care. Consultant shall perform its obligations in accordance with the skill and care ordinarily applied by professionals
performing similar services at the same time and in the same locality as the Project and under similar circumstances (“Standard of
Care”). Consultant will render the Services without any warranty, express or implied, regarding the quality or timeliness of the
Services and Client expressly waives all such warranties.
4. Time of Performance. Consultant shall perform the Services according to Client’s schedule as expeditiously as is consistent with
the Standard of Care. Neither party to this Agreement will be liable to the other party for delays in performance or for direct or
indirect costs resulting from delays that result from labor strikes, riots, acts of war or terrorism, acts of governmental authorities,
extraordinary weather conditions or other natural catastrophe, or any other cause beyond the reasonable control or contemplation
of either party. The time for Consultant’s performance shall be extended to the extent of delays that are outside of Consultant’s
reasonable control.
5. Compliance with Law. Consultant shall exercise the Standard of Care to comply with the requirements of all applicable codes,
regulations, and current written interpretations thereof published and in effect during this Agreement.
6. Responsibility at the Project Site. The Consultant shall not be responsible for (a) construction means, methods, techniques,
sequences or procedures, (b) safety precautions and programs in connection with work or activities at the project site, (c) acts or
omissions of any contractor, subcontractors or any other persons performing any work or undertaking any activities at the Project
site, or (d) the failure of any of them to carry out any work or perform their activities in accordance with their contractual
obligations, including, but not limited to, the requirements of any drawings, specifications or other documents prepared by
Consultant in the performance of the Services. Consultant shall not be the prime contractor or similar under any occupational
health and safety legislation.
7. Payment. Consultant will invoice monthly for Services rendered and payment will be due within thirty (30) days of the invoice date
(“Due Date”) without offset or withholding. All invoices are due and payable in US dollars when rendered. A service charge of 1.5%
per month, or the maximum amount allowable by law, may be assessed to balances not paid by the Due Date. In the event Client
does not make payment by the Due Date, Consultant may suspend or terminate the Services, without liability to Client for delay,
after providing seven (7) days’ written notice to Client. Before resuming performance, Client shall pay Consultant all sums due prior
to the suspension and any expenses unavoidably incurred in suspending and resuming the Services. Following the resumption of
performance, time schedules and Consultant’s fee for the remaining Services shall be equitably adjusted. Retainers, if any, will be
credited on the final invoice. Unless otherwise noted, the fees in this Agreement do not include any value-added, sales, or other
taxes that may be applied by the government on fees for services; such taxes will be added to all invoices, as required.
8. Indemnity. To the fullest extent allowed by law, the Client shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Consultant and all of its
employees, officers, and directors from and against any and all claims, damages, losses and expenses (including attorneys’ fees)

agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Consultant from any and all claims and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, that arise due to
the reuse of the documents and designs produced by consultant under this agreement. Nothing in this provision obligates the
Client to indemnify Consultant for claims arising solely from defects contained in designs furnished by Consultant or for claims
arising from the sole negligence or willful misconduct of Consultant.
9. Authorized Use of Deliverables. Client’s modification of any reports, drawings, deliverables, or specifications (“Consultant
Documents”), or any use of Consultant Documents on another project, without Consultant’s professional involvement or written
consent is at Client’s sole risk and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Client shall indemnify and defend Consultant from claims
by any third party arising from such use or modification.
10. Termination. Either party may terminate this Agreement for the material default of the other party to perform its obligations under
this Agreement through no fault of the terminating party, but only after providing seven (7) days’ written notice to the defaulting
party and an additional ten (10) days to cure the default. In the event of any termination, Client shall pay to Consultant all amounts
due for Services performed prior to the date of the termination. Consultant may terminate this Agreement without cause upon
thirty (30) days’ written notice to Client.
11. Limitation of Liability. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the parties agree to limit the total liability, in the aggregate, of

claims, disputes or other matters in question arising out of or relating to the Services or the Project, whether in contract or in tort,
including but not limited to loss of use, loss of profit, lost opportunity costs, diminution in value, or claims for delay, impact or
disruption damages made by Client or any of its contractors or subcontractors, whether or not the possibility of such damages had
been disclosed to the other party in advance or could have been reasonably foreseen by such other party. This mutual waiver is
applicable, without limitation, to all consequential damages due to either party’s termination.

reasonably required for the proper performance of the Services. Consultant shall be permitted to rely upon the accuracy and
completeness of information that Client provides regarding the Project. Consultant shall have no responsibility for the discovery,

14. No Personal Liability. This Agreement does not create and shall not be deemed to create or permit any personal liability or
obligation on the part of any owner, shareholder, officer, director, employee, agent or representative of Consultant. Each party
agrees that any claim arising under or related to the Project shall be made only against the corporate legal entity of Consultant or
Client.

Consultant any legal or equitable right, remedy, or claim under this Agreement.
16. Severability. If any of these Terms and Conditions are adjudicated in a court of competent jurisdiction and determined to be
invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect, and remain binding upon
the parties.

without the written consent of the other. Unless specifically stated to the contrary in any written consent to an assignment, no
assignment will release or discharge the assigning party from any duty or responsibility under this Agreement.

Request for Committee Action
A
genda Item: III.4
S
taff Contact: Jordan Schmidt, Administration
Donny Leicht, Public Work Superintendent
Subject: Discussion of an Ordinance Amending Kenilworth Code
Sec. 150.196 as it Relates to Water Service Ownership
S
ummary: As part of the Public Works Committee review of and discussion on lead service
lines, the Committee reviewed current code language regarding the ownership of water service
lines. At the February 17th Village Board meeting, the Board considered recommendations from
the Committee on the creation of a cost-sharing program and code updates concerning service
line ownership. At the Village Board meeting, a question arose as to when the Village would
assume ownership over service lines. Given the Board’s desire for additional information on the
pilot program roll out, staff thought it was an optimal time to reaffirm the Committee’s
recommendation on service line ownership, and then bring all items back to the Board for
approval.
B
ackground of Matter:
In 2022, the State of Illinois adopted the Lead Service Line Replacement and Notification Act
(ILSLRNA), with the goal of replacing all lead water service lines in the state. Over the course of
three meetings in 2025, the Public Works Committee reviewed the status of lead in the Village,
and recommended the creation of a cost-sharing program to help incentivize and facilitate their
replacement. As part of that discussion, the Committee reviewed the Village’s current code
language on service line ownership.
S
ervice Line Ownership:
Historically, Kenilworth residents have owned and maintained the entire service line from the
water main to the water meter. In 2014, after reviewing common practice, and in connection
with the KW2023 project and other expected water main work, the Village adopted updated code
language regarding service line ownership.
“P
rovided, however, that if the Village constructs and installs new water pipes and
accessories and buffalo box from the water main of the Village to a buffalo box for a
premises on or after March 1, 2014, the Village shall thereafter be responsible to keep and
repair such water pipes and accessories and buffalo box for that premises, and every
person having service from the water mains of the Village at that premises thereafter shall
be responsible to keep and repair, at his or her own cost and expense, the remaining water
service line pipes, accessories, and plumbing fixtures commencing from the buffalo box to
and in said premises.”
S
ince the code update, beginning March 1, 2014, any time the Village constructed a water line
between the water main and buffalo box (B-box) during a water main replacement, the Village
assumed the ownership and maintenance of that portion (public portion). The remainder of the
line, from the B-box to the meter, remained under the ownership, and was the responsibility of,
the property owner.

In 2019, the Village Board adopted a new set of model building codes, which is where the code
language regarding service line ownership was written, and did not reinclude that section. After
researching the matter, it appeared this was done inadvertently.
During its review of the issue, the Committee recommended readopting code language to
reaffirm the Village’s practice of taking ownership over the public portion of the service line. The
code update was brought forward to the Village Board for adoption along with the cost-sharing
program. At the Board meeting a question arose as to when ownership would be transferred to
the Village. As written in the proposed amendment, the Village would assume ownership over
the public portion immediately, rather than incremently through water main replacement
projects, as was done through the previous code language.
“The village shall be responsible to keep and repair all water pipes, accessories,
and buffalo boxes located in Village public rights-of-way as set forth in
§150.196.”
Given the scope of the change, as well as other requested information on the plan for piloting the
cost-sharing program, staff wanted to reaffirm the Committee’s recommendation, and then bring
it back to the Village Board for adoption along with the cost-sharing program.
Financial Impact: The transfer of ownership of the public portion of the service line would
increase the Village’s potential liability if any breaks were to occur. The Village currently sees a
handful of service line breaks/repairs in a year. Accepting ownership and liability for all lines,
regardless of age or condition, from main to B-box, would result in an increase in the Village’s
repair budget.
Recommendation: Staff recommends the Public Works Committee reaffirm the original intent
of Ord. 1121 regarding the Village assuming service line ownership of the public portion when
replaced on or after March 1, 2014 to limit potential liability to the Village.
