Mr. David St. Pierre, Executive Director
Title
Authority to approve and issue payment for a permanent easement grant from Real Group LLC for the Containment Boom on Addison Creek at south 21st Street in Broadview, Illinois, consideration shall be a fee of $40,000.00, Account No. 401-50000-667340
Body
Dear Sir:
In order to control floatable debris within Addison Creek, the District will be installing a containment boom on the creek downstream of the Westchester Pump Station. It was necessary to acquire a permanent easement from Real Group LLC for the construction, operation, and maintenance of the containment boom. The easement grant was signed by Real Group LLC on February 19, 2016, and does not require countersignature by the District.
Real Group LLC has agreed to provide the required easement for a fee of $40,000.00. It is the opinion of the Engineering Department that this amount is acceptable based on an MAI appraisal commissioned by the District.
It is requested that the Executive Director recommend to the Board of Commissioners it accept and approve the permanent easement grant from Real Group LLC to the District in connection with the captioned project and 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 issue payment to Real Group LLC in the sum of $40,000.00 on behalf of the District.
Funds are available in Account 401-50000-667340.
Requested, Catherine A. O’Connor, Director of Engineering, WSS:JPM
Recommended, David St. Pierre, Executive Director
Respectfully Submitted, Frank Avila, Chairman Committee on Engineering
