TRANSMITTAL LETTER FOR BOARD MEETING OF JULY 10, 2014
COMMITTEE ON PROCUREMENT
Mr. David St. Pierre, Executive Director
Title
Authorization to amend Board Order of April 17, 2014, accepting initial annual rental bid for Contract 14-361-11 Proposal to Lease for 39-years 16.77+/- acres of District real estate located at 18500 West 9th Street in Unincorporated Lockport, Will County, Illinois; Main Channel Parcels 15.02 and 15.04 from ACL Transportation Services, LLC in the amount of $147,200.00, Agenda Item No. 6, File No. 14-0319
Body
Dear Sir:
At the Board meeting of April 17, 2014, the Board of Commissioners duly authorized the above-stated action, Agenda Item No. 6, File No. 14-0319.
Since passage of the Order, additional circumstances have arisen necessitating a need to amend the transmittal letter. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers ("Corps") has identified Parcels 15.02 and 15.04 as a potential staging and disposal area for its Lockport Pool Major Rehabilitation-Forebay Wall Project ("Project"). The Corps anticipates awarding a contract on this Project in September 2014. ACL has indicated that it has no objection to the Corps' potential use of this property for its Project, which is expected to last approximately two years. In the interim, ACL is requesting that a provision be added to its lease that allows it the option to terminate its lease in the event the Corps' use of its leasehold for the Project interferes with its use of the leasehold.
All other information in the transmittal letter is correct.
Therefore, it is requested that the aforesaid Board Order of April 17, 2014, be amended to effect the changes set forth above, otherwise to remain in full force and effect as heretofore enacted.
Requested, Ronald M. Hill, General Counsel, RMH:SM:ss
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management
Respectfully Submitted, Barbara J. McGowan, Chairman Committee on Procurement
Disposition of this agenda item will be documented in the official Regular Board Meeting Minutes of the Board of Commissioners for July 10, 2014
