MOTION TO ADOPT AN ORDINANCE GRANTING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR ASSEMBLY
USE FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 4513 FRONT ROYAL DRIVE, WITH THE RECOMMENDED
CONDITIONS
City Administrator Morefield informed Council that Iglesia Casa De Vida currently holds
worship services in the City of McHenry and is seeking to purchase the Whispering Oaks
Community Center and utilize the building for a religious assembly use. City Administrator
Morefield noted that the Whispering Oaks Community Center has been used as an assembly
use for many years and was constructed several decades ago.
In accordance with the Building Code, as long as the occupant load does not exceed 100
people in the building at any one time, the building on the subject property is not required to
comply with the building code as an assembly use. If the occupant load exceeds 100, the
Building Code would require certain improvements for any type of assembly use or space
utilized for social, educational, religious, recreational or similar types of gatherings. If approve,
Staff would require a walk-thru by City Staff and the McHenry Township Fire Protection District
to ensure minimum life safety codes are met.
The proposed assembly use will be limited by the size of the existing building as it is
today. Parking for the building is provided directly to the north. There currently exist property
maintenance issues, Building Code and cosmetic issues associated with the property, which the
Applicant has agreed, as stipulated in the application, to address if this use is approved.
Staff believes this is an appropriate location for the proposed assembly use, which will
not adversely impact neighboring properties or public safety and health. Staff believes the use
would not require any additional public services and is compatible with the surrounding area.
Churches are not typically zoned residential and many are located within the midst of, or
adjacent to, residential neighborhoods in the City. The Planning and Zoning Commission
unanimously recommended approval (7-0) of a Conditional Use Permit to allow an assembly
use and any variances required to effectual the request on the subject property, located at
4513 Front Royal Drive, McHenry, as presented, subject to the following conditions:
• The building on the subject property shall only be utilized following a walk-thru
inspection by the City and McHenry Township Fire Protection District, and there can be
no more than 100 people inside the building at any one time, unless the building is
improved to meet building code requirements for an assembly use;
• Property maintenance issues including parking lot patch ing/restriping (in accordance
with City Ordinance and Illinois Accessibility Code), roof repair, repair of railings to
outside stairs, repair/replacement of all broken windows, and the applicant must
address exposed electrical and all other life safety and property maintenance issues to
accommodate use of the building to be completed prior to issuance of a Certificate of
Occupancy for an assembly use on the subject property. All of the aforementioned shall
be completed in compliance with all applicable City rules, Ordinances and regulations;

property, is prohibited. Vehicles cannot be parked or stored overnight on the subject
property.
Addressing concerns expressed by Alderman Schaefer regarding parking, Director of
Economic Development Martin stated the estimated 40 parking spaces are in accordance with
assembly use in the Zoning District.
Alderman Glab expressed concerns regarding a church's impact on the neighboring
community. He opined the building is not well insulated and noise could be a factor, disturbing

the aforementioned conditions, as recommended by the Planning and Zoning Commission.

High School East Campus). The McHenry Country Club is located at 820 N. John Street and

Regular Meeting

August 17, 2015
Responding to an inquiry from Alderman Curry, Director of Economic Development
Martin informed Council the sign is larger than a directional sign and is an off -premises sign.
The size of the proposed sign would conform to the Municipal Code if the sign was actually on
the property of the McHenry Country Club.
Alderman Peterson opined that he is familiar with how the McHenry Country Club has
struggled during the difficult economy. He stated that he supports the proposed sign. Alderman
Condon concurred with Alderman Peterson

August 17, 2015
Staff believes the proposed land use is compatible with the surrounding land uses. The
area along Front Street and on the edge of the Main Street Downtown area is undergoing a
transition. There are several vacant buildings in close proximity to the subject property,
however, many new businesses have opened in the past several years and reinvestment in this
area has been occurring. The proposed use is a new building, filling a building which has been
vacant for many years. The Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended
approval (7-0); subject to the following conditions:

AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR TO SIGN, FOLLOWING IEPA APPROVAL, THE CONSTRUCTION

Wastewater Treatment Plant (CWWTP), and consolidation with the South Wastewater
Treatment Plant (SWWTP).

• CWWTP pumping station;
• Preliminary treatment improvements;
• Secondary treatment improvements (SBR);
• Tertiary treatment improvements (effluent
aeration); and
• Related subsidiary work.
filters, UV disinfection, effluent post
It was necessary that the project has been divided into two separate bid packets, due to the
specialization of the forcemain portion of the project.
Regular Meeting

August 17, 2015
Bid documents were made available by the City on June 5, 2015, with a due date of July
24, 2015. The engineer's opinion of probable cost for the decommissioning/consolidation (less
the forcemain) was $25,200,000. Five bids had been received and were opened on July 24,
2015. The bids ranged from $30,180,000 to $35,800,000.
HR Green, Inc., the City's engineering firm, has checked the bids for accuracy and
recommends awarding the contract to Williams Brothers Construction, Inc. City Administrator
Morefield stated due to current market values for materials and a busy bidding environment,
HR Green, Inc. does not feel that there are any major adjustments that could be made to the
project.
City Administrator Morefield noted the low bid amount is $4,980,000 higher than the
opinion of probable cost. The higher cost is due to bids that were significantly higher than the
opinion of probable cost due to the cost of concrete and earthwork (excavation, trenching,
dewatering, etc.).
Responding to an inquiry regarding the separation of the forcemain from the remaining
portion of the project, City Engineer Pieper explained the forcemain could not be considered
within the loan cycle according to the requirements of the SRF.
Motion by Condon, second by Wimmer, authorizing the Mayor's execution of a Notice
of Intent to accept the bid of, and award a construction contract to, Williams Brothers
Construction, Inc., for the McHenry Sanitary Wastewater Treatment Facility Consolidated
Project, in the amount of $30,180,000, subject to IEPA approval, and to authorize the Mayor to
execute, following [EPA approval, the Construction Contract itself, Notice of Award, Notice to
Proceed and any other documentation necessary to implement the terms of the Construction
Contract., as presented.
Voting Aye: Santi, Schaefer, Wimmer, Peterson, Condon.
Voting Nay: Glab, Curry.
Absent: None.
Motion carried.
MOTION TO REJECT ALL BIDS, INCLUDING THE BID SUBMITTED BY R.A. MANCINI, IN THE
AMOUNT OF $5,126,630, FOR THE MCHENRY SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS 24"
FORCEMAIN EXTENSION
City Administrator Morefield reiterated to Council that at the June 15t meeting,
Council authorized Staff to seek bids for the decommissioning of the Central Wastewater
Treatment Plant (CWWTP) and consolidation with the South Wastewater Treatment Plant
(SWWTP).
City Administrator Morefield informed Council the project consists of:
• Construction of a 24-inch sanitary sewer forcemain;
Regular Meeting

August 17, 2015
• CWWTP pumping station;
• Preliminary treatment improvements;
• Secondary treatment improvements (SBR);
• Tertiary treatment improvements (effluent filters, UV disinfection, effluent post
aeration); and
• Related subsidiary work.
As identified previously, due to the specialization of the forcemain portion of the project, the
project was divided into two separate bid packets. The City engineer's opinion of probable cost
for the forcemain project was $1,400,000. Bid information was made available at the City on
June 5, 2015, with a due date of July 24, 2015. One sealed bid for the McHenry Sanitary Sewer
System Improvements for the 24" Forcemain Extension was received on July 24, 2015 from RA
Mancini in the amount of $5,126,630.
The bid received from RA Mancini was analyzed and ascertained by the City Engineer to
be over three times the Engineer's Opinion of the Probable Costs for the project. This was an
abnormal result, as multiple contractors had picked up bid packages and attended the
mandatory pre -bid meeting. Following the bid opening, HR Green contacted several of the
contractors in an attempt to determine the reasons for not submitting bids. Their main
responses were related to being extremely busy and not having adequate time to focus on the
project. HR Green recommends rejecting the bid as no other bids were submitted that would
permit comparison to determine if the bid from RA Mancini is appropriate for the project
scope. HR Green recommends the project be rebid in January 2016.
City Administrator Morefield explained that due to the delay of the forcemain portion of
the project, the costs cannot be included in the scope of the State Revolving Fund (SRF) loan.
The loan is only issued for the project scope that is bid, reviewed and approved; as part of the
initial loan award, which, in this case, would not include the forcemain project. As a result, the
City of McHenry will have to identify a funding source for the forcemain project, which could
include, applying for an additional loan through the IEPA, obtaining traditional municipal loan
financing, and/or paying for the projection with funds in the General Fund.
Motion by Peterson, seconded by Santi, rejecting all bids, including the bid submitted by
RA Mancini, in the amount of $5,126,630, for the McHenry Sanitary Sewer System
Improvements to the 24" Forcemain Extension project.
Voting Aye: Santi, Glab, Schaefer, Curry, Wimmer, Peterson, Condon.
Voting Nay: None.
Absent: None.
Motion carried.

sealed bids were received for the project. HR Green, Inc. has analyzed and checked the bids for
accuracy and recommends awarding the contact to Virgil Cook & Son of DeKalb, Illinois in the

MOTION TO WAIVE ADVERTISMENT FOR BIDS AND AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR AND THE CITY
CLERK TO SIGN A CONTRACT WITH XYLEM WATER SOLUTIONS USA, INC., FOR AN AMOUNT
NOT TO EXCEED $81,824 60, FOR THE PRE -PURCHASE OF SUBMERSIBLE PUMS AND RELATED
EQUPMENT FOR THE FIELDSTONE LIFT STATION REHABILITATION PROJECT
City Administrator Morefield informed Council that the Fieldstone Lift Station was put
into service in 1997. The Fieldstone Lift Station is one of the deepest lift stations in the sanitary
collection system. In February 2008, while removing the pump for routine maintenance, the
pump slipped off the hook and fell back to the bottom of the lift station. When the pump fell it
damaged the base elbow, which is attached to the pump. The lift station has continued to
operate with one pump until a replacement could be obtained. Due to the depth of the lift
station, an outside contractor was hired to set the replacement pump however the outdated
guide wire system in the lift station was not centered and as a result, the pump was damaged
during removal.
Rehabilitation of the lift station consists of replacing the pumps, pump control, guide
rails, base elbows, discharge piping and a top hatch. In addition, the replacement pumps will be
sized to handle additional wastewater flow as the Legend Lakes subdivision is built out.
Regular Meeting

August 17, 2015
City Administrator Morefield stated Council that Staff and HR Green, Inc. are
recommending pre -purchasing the submersible pumps and related equipment directly from the
sole source vender rather than through a third party contractor, as it was ascertained the
procedure would reduce cost and expedite delivery of the equipment.
City Administrator Morefield informed Council that the approved 2015/2016 Capital
Improvement Program (CIP) includes $330,000 for the design/observation, engineering and
construction of the Fieldstone Lift Station Rehabilitation project, with funding from the
Water/Sewer revenues and $100,000 from the Legend Lake Surety Bond.
Motion by Curry, second by Wimmer, to waive the advertisement for bids and authorize
