COMMITTEE ON REAL ESTATE
Mr. Richard Lanyon, Executive Director
Title
Amend orders of January 21, 2010, authorizing and approving the issuance of a 6-month permit to the Illinois Department of Transportation to allow its contractor, CH2MHILL and subcontractor, DB Sterlin Consultants, Inc., access to the District’s O’Hare CUP Reservoir and O’Hare Reservoir sites to perform ground survey and field reconnaissance work for the Elgin O’Hare West Bypass Project to include an additional subcontractor, American Surveying and Engineering, Inc., to perform additional utility survey and field reconnaissance work
Body
Dear Sir:
On January 21, 2010, the Board of Commissioners authorized the issuance of a 6-month permit to IDOT to allow its contractor, CH2MHILL and subcontractor, DB Sterlin Consultants, Inc., access to the District’s O’Hare CUP Reservoir and O’Hare Reservoir sites to perform ground survey and field reconnaissance work for the Elgin O’Hare West Bypass Project. The general scope of the work involves performing general survey and field reconnaissance work such as alignment work, cross section work and stream surveys. Consideration was a document preparation fee of $2,000.00.
Subsequent to the January 21, 2010, Board Meeting, IDOT requested a second 6-month permit to allow an additional subcontractor, American Surveying and Engineering, Inc., access to the same locations to perform additional utility survey and field reconnaissance work for the same project.
The District’s technical departments have reviewed the request and have no objections thereto.
Because IDOT is requesting a second 6-month permit to allow an additional subcontractor access to the same locations for the same project, it is recommended that one 6-month permit be issued to IDOT, allowing its contractor, CH2MHILL and both subcontractors, DB Sterlin Consultants, Inc., and American Surveying and Engineering, Inc., to enter the O’Hare CUP Reservoir and O’Hare Reservoir sites to perform such work.
It is requested that the Executive Director recommend to the Board of Commissioners that its orders of January 21, 2010 be amended to authorize and approve the issuance of a 6-month permit to IDOT to allow its contractor, CH2MHILL and subcontractor, DB Sterlin Consultants, Inc., access to the District’s O’Hare CUP Reservoir and O’Hare Reservoir sites to perform ground survey and field reconnaissance work for the Elgin O’Hare West Bypass Project to include an additional subcontractor, American Surveying and Engineering, Inc., to perform additional utility survey and field reconnaissance work.
It is further 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 agreement after it is approved by the General Counsel as to form and legality.
Requested, Frederick M. Feldman, General Counsel, FMF:CL:STM:NPE:rg
Recommended, Richard Lanyon, Executive Director
Respectfully Submitted, Terrence J. O’Brien, Chairman Committee on Real Estate Development
