The Village of Deerfield (Client), having an address of 465 Elm Street, Deerfield, Illinois 6001 S and
Gewalt Hamilton Associates, Inc. (GHA), 62S Forest Edge Drive, Vernon Hills, Illinois 60061, agree and
contract as follows:
I. Project Understanding
The LG Group of Chicago, Illinois is proposing to develop the 37.5-acre six building former Walgreens
Boots Alliance campus property at 1435 Lake Cook Road in the Village of Deerfield, Illinois. According
to 'Issued for Permit' plan set prepared by Manhard Consulting and dated June 21, 2024, the LG Group
is planning to demolish the existing buildings at 1435 (28,513 sq. ft.), 1425 (23,712 sq. ft.), 1419 (27,315
sq. ft.), 1417 (27,263 sq. ft.), 1415 (27,214 sq. ft.), and 1411 (27,288 sq. ft.). In addition, they are also
planning to disconnect building utility services, abandon and/or remove various sections of existing
water and sanitary utilities, protect the overall site as well as various sections of water, sanitary, and
storm sewer utilities proposed to remain, and provide required soil erosion and sediment control
measures as part of the preliminary development work.
II. Scope of Services: Construction Engineering
Based on schedule provided to the Village by the site's developer, LG Group, GHA currently anticipates
this work beginning in October 2024 and taking approximately four (4) months to substantially
complete.
Based on our understanding of the project's scope and schedule, we anticipate a combination of full
and part-time construction observation of the necessary construction operations and processes to
ensure all materials and procedures are in conformance with Village requirements. It is assumed that
full-time observation will primarily take place for all underground utilities (water main, sanitary sewer
and storm sewer) as well as any operations requiring full-time soil erosion and sediment control
monitoring such as dust control monitoring. Part-time observation will occur for all above ground
visible work, such as building demolition, grading, restoration, etc.
For this proposal, we have anticipated a total of five hundred thirty (530) hours for an Engineer
Technician III to perform on -site observation and various classifications performing project
management. We based these total hours on an estimated construction schedule of eighteen (18)
weeks in total with an average of forty (40) hours per week for full-time observation for an eight (8)
week period and an average of 20 hours per week for a ten (10) week period for part-time observation.
If construction activities extend beyond the estimated eighteen (18) weeks, due to tasks out of GHA's
control, we will request additional services.
August 9, 2024 GHA Proposal No. 2024.CS099 Page 2 of 6
It is our practice to adhere to construction industry standards and compliance with the project plans
and specifications in an effort to efficiently produce a quality project. As such, GHA's Construction
Engineering Services will be performed in accordance with the following services:
GHA will provide a combination of full- and part-time construction observation and
documentation of the construction operations and processes to ensure materials, procedures,
and improvements are constructed in general conformance with the contract plans and
specifications as well as Village requirements and notify the Village of any deficiencies. GHA will
also observe various soil erosion and sediment control procedures and best management
practices, including dust control monitoring, are in general conformance with the plans,
specifications, and approved supplemental plans provide by the contractor.
2. GHA will provide detailed written documentation of the construction operations and progress
and will report to the Village of Deerfield's Engineering Representative. We will also
communicate with the Contractor and the Village Engineer regarding the requirements for
observation and will provide all necessary reports specified by the Village. Copies of all reports
will be forwarded to Developer representatives as well.
3. GHA will provide soil erosion and sediment control monitoring in compliance with the
Watershed Development Ordinance of Lake County and include participation from a Lake
County Stormwater Management Commission Designated Erosion Control Inspector (DECI).
4. GHA will coordinate a final walk-through upon project completion with the contractor(s) and
Village of Deerfield representatives to generate a punch list of deficiencies.
5. Coordination of final inspection of the work with the Village of Deerfield and contractor upon
completion of construction, including any punch list items.
6. GHA will review the final as -built record drawings and issue a final opinion for the work.
7. As a representative or liaison of the Village of Deerfield, GHA staff understands the importance
of our interface with the public, and will conduct all dealings with public officials, business
owners, residents, and the traveling public with professionalism and courtesy.
