Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to make payment to Illinois Bell Telephone Company d/b/a AT&T Illinois (AT&T) for a utility relocation in an amount not to exceed $347,405.96.
In connection with Contract 14-263-3F Melvina Ditch Reservoir Improvements, it is necessary to pay a utility relocation fee of $347,405.96 to AT&T to relocate and replace an underground duct bank containing telephone and fiber-optic communication lines to accommodate the new pump station outlet structure proposed under the subject contract.
