Title
Authority to issue a 2-month permit to Midwestern Contractors to use Cal-Sag Channel Parcel 1.02 as a work staging area and emergency access route and Cal-Sag Channel Parcel 1.04 as an emergency access route in connection with the Buckeye Partners & Westshore Pipeline Company's project to replace 24 pipe hangers on the west side of the Route 83 Bridge over the Cal-Sag Channel. Consideration shall be $2,500.00
Body
Dear Sir:
Midwestern Contractors ("Midwestern"), a contractor for the Buckeye Partners & Westshore Pipeline Company, has requested a 2-month permit to use Cal-Sag Channel Parcel 1.02 as a work staging area and emergency access route and Cal-Sag Channel Parcel 1.04 as an emergency access route in connection with a project to replace 24 pipe hangers on the west side of the Route 83 Bridge over the Cal-Sag Channel.
The District's technical departments have reviewed Midwestern's request for a permit and have no objections thereto.
A fair market value fee on the permit premises would yield a fee less than the District's minimum $2,500.00 fee. The District's standard minimum fee of $2,500.00 is therefore recommended.
Since Cal-Sag Channel Parcel 1.04 is under lease to the Forest Preserve District of Cook County ("FPDCC"), Midwestern will be required to obtain FPDCC consent for the proposed use of its site as an emergency access route.
It is requested that the Executive Director recommend to the Board of Commissioners that it authorize the issuance of a 2-month permit to Midwestern Contractors to use Cal-Sag Channel Parcel 1.02 as a work staging area and emergency access route and Cal-Sag Channel Parcel 1.04 as an emergency access route in connection with the Buckeye Partners & Westshore Pipeline Company's project to replace 24 pipe hangers on the west side of the Route 83 Bridge over the Cal-Sag Channel. Consideration shall be $2,500.00.
It is also requested that the Executive Director recommend to the Board of Commissioners that it authorize and direct the Chairman of the Committee on Finance and the Clerk to execute said permit agreement on behalf of the District after it is approved by the General Counsel as to form and legality.
Requested, Ronald M. Hill, General Counsel, RMH:STM:MM:ss
Recommended, David St. Pierre, Executive Director
Respectfully Submitted, Mariyana T. Spyropoulos, Chairman Committee on Real Estate Development
Disposition of this agenda item will be documented in the official Regular Board Meeting Minutes of the Board of Commissioners for July 10, 2014
