COMMITTEE ON ENGINEERING
Mr. David St. Pierre, Executive Director
Title
Authority to accept and execute Permit 14-10-4997-C from the Cook County Department of Transportation and Highways for Contract 14-263-5J, Melvina Ditch Reservoir Retention Improvement
Body
Dear Sir:
In connection with the planned grading work to be performed by the District under the captioned project at the Melvina Ditch reservoir, which is intended to provide immediate relief to the extensive flooding in the City of Burbank from recent storm events, it is necessary to obtain authorization from the Cook County Department of Transportation and Highways (CCDTH) in the form of a permit. The permit authorizes the District to establish traffic control within the right-of-way of 87th Street near Natoma Avenue in the City of Burbank, which is under CCDTH's jurisdiction.
We have received Permit 14-10-4997-C from CCDTH for the above work. The permit will be issued after the District's contractor posts the necessary bond with CCDTH.
It is respectfully requested that the Executive Director recommend to the Board of Commissioners that CCDTH Permit 14-10-4997-C be accepted and approved.
It is further respectfully requested that the Executive Director recommend to the Board of Commissioners that the Chairman of the Committee on Finance and the Clerk be authorized and directed to execute said permit on behalf of the District after it is approved by the Director of Engineering as to technical matters and by the General Counsel as to form and legality.
If further clarification is required, please advise the undersigned.
Requested, Catherine A. O'Connor, Director of Engineering, WSS:JPM
Recommended, David St. Pierre, Executive Director
Respectfully Submitted, Frank Avila, Chairman Committee on Engineering
Disposition of this agenda item will be documented in the official Regular Board Meeting Minutes of the Board of Commissioners for November 6, 2014
