TRANSMITTAL LETTER FOR BOARD MEETING OF NOVEMBER 20, 2014
COMMITTEE ON REAL ESTATE
Mr. David St. Pierre, Executive Director
Title
Authority to issue a 2-month permit to BP Pipelines (North America) Inc. to use an approximately 200' x 200' portion of Cal-Sag Channel Parcel 13.03 located along the southerly bank of the Cal-Sag Channel in Robbins, Illinois, as a temporary work space to conduct hydrostatic testing of Chicap Pipe Line Company's pipeline. Consideration shall be $2,500.00
Body
Dear Sir:
On March 16, 1995, the District granted Chicap Pipe Line Company ("Chicap") a 25-year easement to maintain, operate, repair, and remove its 14-inch crude oil pipeline and suspension bridge upon, over and across District Cal-Sag Channel Parcels 13.03 and 13.04 in Alsip and Robbins, Illinois. The easement expires May 27, 2019.
The District has received a request by BP Pipelines (North America) Inc. ("BP Pipelines") for a 2-month permit to use an approximately 200' x 200' portion of Cal-Sag Channel Parcel 13.03 located along the southerly bank of the Cal-Sag Channel in Robbins as a temporary work space to conduct hydrostatic testing of Chicap's pipeline. BP Pipelines operates and maintains Chicap's pipeline. A permit is recommended as the requested work area is outside of Chicap's easement boundaries.
The District's technical departments have reviewed BP Pipelines' request and have no objections thereto.
A fair market value fee of 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.
It is requested that the Executive Director recommend to the Board of Commissioners that it authorize the issuance of a 2-month permit to BP Pipelines (North America) Inc. to use an approximately 200' x 200' portion of Cal-Sag Channel Parcel 13.03 located along the southerly bank of the Cal-Sag Channel in Robbins, Illinois, as a temporary work space to conduct hydrostatic testing of Chicap Pipe Line Company's pipeline. Consideration shall be $2,500.00.
It is also 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 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:NPE:vp
Recommended, David St. Pierre, Executive Director
Respectfully Submitted, Mariyana T. Spyropoulos, Chairman Committee on Real Estate Development
