Mr. Richard Lanyon, General Superintendent

Title

Authority to amend the Board Order dated April 3, 2003, authorizing issuance of a 6-month permit for installation of temporary flow meter equipment at 2 locations to change the name of permittee from MWH Americas, Inc. to the City of Chicago and to add 3 additional locations for installation of flow meters.  Consideration shall be $10.00

Body

Dear Sir:

On April 3, 2008, the Board of Commissioners authorized the issuance of a 6-month permit to MWH Americas, Inc. (MWH) on behalf of its subcontractor, ADS, LLC, to install temporary flow metering equipment in the District’s Interceptor Sewer Northwest Number 3C and Northwest Number 3B as part of the citywide sewer modeling. 

Subsequent thereto, the City of Chicago requested that the permit be issued to the City instead of MWH.  The City also requested that it be allowed to install temporary flow metering equipment at three additional locations, to wit: Southside Intercepting Sewer Contract Number 4 - Area 3C, Meter Number 5, at 70^th and Sangamon Streets; Calumet Number 15 at 81^st Street and Colfax Avenue, and Southside Number 2 at 55^th and Wallace Streets.

The technical departments have no objections to the changes requested by the City provided the conditions governing the permit remain unchanged.

It is requested that the General Superintendent recommend to the Board of Commissioners that it approve the amendment of its Order dated April 3, 2008, authorizing issuance of a 6-month permit for installation of temporary flow meter equipment at two locations, to change the name of the permittee from MWH Americas, Inc. to the City of Chicago, and to add 3 additional locations for installation of temporary flow metering equipment.  Consideration shall be $10.00.

It is further requested that the General Superintendent 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 approved by the Attorney as to form and legality.

Requested, Frederick M. Feldman, Attorney, FMF:CL:STM:BOC:nm

Recommended, Richard Lanyon, General Superintendent

Respectfully Submitted, Terrence J. O’Brien, Chairman Committee on Real Estate Development

ORDERED passed by affirmative roll call vote of a majority of the Commissioners present this May 15, 2008.  Approved, President Terrence J. O’Brien
