TRANSMITTAL LETTER FOR BOARD MEETING OF NOVEMBER 20, 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. The April 17, 2014, Board Order authorized ACL Transportation Services, LLC ("ACL") to operate a barge transportation company. A lease between the District and ACL has not yet been signed due to matters involving the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers ("Corps") and its need for a staging area in the Lockport area for its Forebay Wall Project. The Corps' staging issues have now been addressed, and ACL is anxious to sign the lease and begin developing the site.
Since passage of the Order, ACL has requested to further define its permitted uses under the lease to allow it to construct a loading terminal to load barges with petroleum products and other related uses.
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 force and effect as heretofore enacted.
Requested, Ronald M. Hill, General Counsel, RMH:SM:ss
Recommended, Darlene LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management
Recommended, David St. Pierre, Executive Director
Respectfully Submitted, Mariyana T. Spyropoulos, 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 November 20, 2014
