Body
Dear Sir:
On November 17, 2011, the District's Board of Commissioners authorized an 18-month permit to F.H. Paschen, S.N. Nielsen & Associates, LLC ("Paschen") to use a 1,240 sq. ft. area of District real estate along with a 150 ft. access route located at the entrance to the District's SEPA Station No. 1 to set-up 3 jobsite trailers and a 8' x 25' wash station, as a construction staging area for a CDOT contract to rehabilitate the Torrence Avenue Lift Bridge over the Calumet River. The bridge rehabilitation work is not located on District property. The permit expires May 16, 2013.
Paschen recently advised the District that additional work has been added to its CDOT contract requiring it to seek a 9-month extension to allow it to continue to use the subject property for the same permitted use and terms and conditions as allowed under its current permit.
A fair market value fee would yield less than the District's minimum $2,500.00 fee. A $2,500.00 document preparation fee is therefore recommended.
It is requested that the Executive Director recommend to the Board of Commissioners that it authorize the issuance of 9-month permit extension to F.H. Paschen, S.N. Nielsen & Associates, LLC, on a 1,240 sq. ft. area of District real estate along with a 150 ft. access route located at the entrance to the District's SEPA Station No. 1, located along the north bank of the Calumet River at Torrence Avenue, in Chicago, Illinois, as a construction staging area. Consideration shall be a document preparation fee of $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 extension after same is approved by the General Counsel as to form and legality.
Requested, Ronald M. Hill, General Counsel, RMH:STM:npe
