Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to make payment to Commonwealth Edison Company (ComEd) for utility relocation in an amount of $45,000.00
In connection with Contract 10-882-AF, Streambank Stabilization Projects along Tinley Creek, it is necessary to pay an advance deposit of $20,000.00 for engineering to ComEd in order to finalize engineering design of underground utility relocation within the Village of Orland Park, Illinois.
In connection with Contract 10-882-BF, Streambank Stabilization Projects along Midlothian Creek and Calumet Union Drainage Ditch, it is necessary to pay an advance deposit of $25,000.00 to ComEd in order to finalize engineering design of utility pole relocation within the existing Calumet Union Drainage Ditch outside of ComEd's existing utility easement in the Village of Markham, Illinois
Following completion of engineering and design plans by ComEd, an additional payment to ComEd will be due in order for ComEd to perform the required construction to relocate facilities. The preliminary estimate for this additional payment is $290,000.00; however, the exact payment amount due can only be determined upon completion of the engineering and design plans by ComEd. For any future payment from the District to ComEd, an additional request to the Board of Commissioners would be made at the time after review by the Engineering Department.
