Body
Dear Sir:
On August 7, 2014, the District entered into an agreement with AT&T Corp. to furnish and deliver AT&T Switched Ethernet Service to 11 District facilities including the LASMA Visitor's Center.
To facilitate the installation of high speed switched Ethernet service to the LASMA Visitor Center, the District's Information Technology Department has requested that Illinois Bell Telephone Company d/b/a AT&T Illinois be granted a 25-year, non-exclusive easement on 1.908± acres to construct, reconstruct, operate, maintain, repair and remove a copper cable, a fiber optic cable and a 4-inch conduit upon, over, under and across District real estate located at LASMA.
The District's technical departments have no objections to this request. A nominal fee of $10.00 is recommended as the easement grant will solely service and benefit the District.
It is requested that the Executive Director recommend to the Board of Commissioners that it authorize the grant of a 25-year, non-exclusive easement to the Illinois Bell Telephone Company d/b/a AT&T Illinois on 1.908± acres of District real estate located at the Lawndale Avenue Solids Management Area (LASMA) to construct, reconstruct, operate, maintain, repair and remove a copper cable, a fiber optic cable and a 4-inch conduit to provide high speed switched Ethernet service to the LASMA Visitor's Center. Consideration shall be a nominal fee of $10.00.
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 easement agreement after it is approved by the General Counsel as to form and legality.
