TRANSMITTAL LETTER FOR BOARD MEETING OF MAY 2, 2019
COMMITTEE ON STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
Mr. Brian A. Perkovich, Executive Director
Title
Authority to enter into an Intergovernmental Agreement with and make payment to the Village of Riverside for the design, construction, operation and maintenance of the Riverside-Phase 2 IGA under Phase II of the Stormwater Management Program (16-IGA-03) in an amount not to exceed $90,000.00, Account 501-50000-612400, Requisition 1519020
Body
Dear Sir:
On November 19, 2015 the Board of Commissioners authorized the District to negotiate an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with the Village of Riverside (Village) for the Riverside-Phase 2 IGA under Phase II of the Stormwater Management Program. The proposed improvements, which will provide flood control benefits to 190 structures, include the construction of a 24-inch outlet to the Des Plaines River, and block or restrict flow from the existing separate storm sewers of the Railroad Watershed Area to the existing combined sewers of the Village. The District and the Village have agreed in principle to the terms of the IGA, which include payment by the District in an amount not to exceed $90,000.00. Partial payments to the Village will be made at predefined intervals during construction, which is anticipated to commence in 2019. The Village has contributed to engineering and other design-related costs, and will also contribute towards the total construction cost of $109,200.00 for this project.
The IGA will require the Village to advertise and award the construction contract in conformance with the District’s Purchasing Act and Multi-Project Labor Agreement, and assume responsibility for design, construction, perpetual maintenance, and operation of the project, and be solely responsible for any change orders to the project. The IGA will also contain provisions which allow the District oversight of the project’s design, construction, and maintenance. Due to the amount requested, this IGA falls under the threshold for Affirmative Action Requirements.
Based on the foregoing, it is requested that the Board of Commissioners grant authority to enter into an IGA with and make payment to the Village of Riverside in an amount not to exceed $90,000.00. It is further requested that the Chairman of the Committee on Finance, Executive Director, and Clerk be authorized to execute said IGA on behalf of the District, upon approval by the Director of Engineering as to technical matters and by the General Counsel as to form and legality.
Funds are available in Account 501-50000-612400.
Requested, Catherine A. O’Connor, Director of Engineering, WSS:JK
