� EXHIBIT A SCOPE OF WORI� The project shall consist of the preparation of a Facilities Plan foi-the 7t�'Ward, Lalce Shore, McKinley and Union Street Sewers Rehabilitation. The rehabilitation of these sewers is intended to be financed with a loan fi•om the Illinois Envirorunental Protection Agency Water Pollution Control State Revolving Fund (SRF) program. One of the documents required to complete an application for a SRF loan, is an approved Facilities Plan. The scope of this project is to prepare a Facilities Plan for this project in accordance with the requirements of Title 35, Chapter II, Part 365 "Procedures For Issuing Loans From the Water Pollution Control Loan Program". Subsection 365.520 lists the requirements for a facilities plan. This Facilities Plan will address four sewers; Lake Shore Drive Sewer(Southeast Interceptor), McKinley Avenue Sewer, 7�'Ward Sewer, and the Union Street Sewer. These sewers are defined in the 2009 Sanitary Sewer Master Plan prepared by Bainbridge, Gee, Milanslci & Associates. The plan will identify each sewer, describe its current conditions, summarize the defects, and list alternatives for making necessary repairs. Alternatives will be compared on a life cycle cost basis. One alternative will be recommended and its environmental impacts will be discussed. The impact of the project on the City's user fees will be calculated and presented. An implementation plan will be developed with dates for action by the City. The report will be sent to the necessary state and federal agencies for approval. Once the IEPA issues theu• Preliminary Environmental Impacts Determination(PEID), a public hearing will be conducted with the City. The City will be responsible for advertising the public hearing and furnishing a place for the hearing. BGM will conduct the hearing. The rehabilitation of each sewer will be separate from the other sewers. The plan will be written in such a form as to allow the City to apply for loan funding for each sewer rehabilitation separately. The basic information on the condition of the sewers will be taken from the 2009 Sanitary Sewer Master. No additional sewer or manhole inspections will be conducted for this report. No new field surveys, flow monitoring or sampling will conducted. No archeological reconnaissance surveys, wetland delineations,material testing, ar hydraulic studies are included in this study. These investigations are not anticipated to be required for IEPA to approve this report and are therefore not included in the scope of work. Representatives of IEPA are saying to expect the Facilities Plan review to take a minimuin of 12 to 18 inonths. This review time is a function of the number of plans submitted for review and the number of reviewers available. A-1
