Title

Authority to amend Board Order of August 29, 2013, regarding Authority to negotiate and enter into intergovernmental agreements with the City of Chicago for the design and construction of a Flood Control Project for Albany Park, with payment to the City of Chicago not to exceed $25,920,000 (As Revised), Agenda Item No. 60, File No.13-0912

Body

 

Dear Sir:

 

At the Board Meeting of August 29, 2013, the Board of Commissioners duly authorized the above stated action, Agenda Item No. 60, File No. 13-0912.

 

Since that time, the District and the City of Chicago (City) entered into the intergovernmental agreements (IGAs) to design (executed March 4, 2014) and to construct (executed June 30, 2015) the Albany Park Stormwater Diversion Tunnel (Tunnel), and the City completed construction of the Tunnel.  During the review of the City’s final request for reimbursement, the District determined the payment should be changed from the Capital Improvements Bond Fund (Bond Fund) to the Stormwater Management Fund to align with the District’s Stormwater Management program funding.  To date, the District has paid the City $19,732,399.25 (by Bond Fund) with the remainder, final payment of $6,187,600.75 to be paid from the Stormwater Management Fund.

 

To reflect the change in funding for the final reimbursement request, it is hereby requested that the Board of Commissioners authorize the following revision to the last paragraph of the transmittal letter:

 

Funds are available in Account 401-50000-612400 for $19,732,399.25 and Account 501-50000-612400 for $6,187,600.75.

 

Therefore, it is requested that the aforesaid Board Order of August 29, 2013 be amended to effect the changes set forth above, otherwise to remain in force and effect as heretofore enacted.

 

Requested, Catherine A. O’Connor, Director of Engineering, WSS:JK

Recommended, Brian A. Perkovich, Executive Director

Disposition of this agenda item will be documented in the official Regular Board Meeting Minutes of the Board of Commissioners for July 11, 2019
