Authorize and approve entry into a 5-year easement agreement with Commonwealth Edison Company for District use of an approximately 50-foot x 50-foot parcel of ComEd land located at Foundry and Wolf Roads in Des Plaines, Illinois, for a chemical dosing station.

Body
Dear Sir:
On June 1, 2002, the District entered into an agreement with Commonwealth Edison Company ("ComEd") whereby ComEd authorized the District to enter its property to install and maintain a chemical dosing station at Foundry and Wolf Roads in Des Plaines, Illinois. The chemical dosing station consists of a 5,400-gallon aboveground chemical tank and small enclosure for chemical pumps and controls. The facility delivers small amounts of calcium nitrate solution for controlling odor and corrosion in the District's intercepting sewers and in the deep tunnel system.
At its February 15, 2007, meeting, the District's Board of Commissioners authorized the renewal of the subject agreement for another 5-year period, commencing June 1, 2007, and ending May 31, 2012. Consideration is an annual fee of $2,000.00. The District's technical departments have indicated the need to continue to use the dosing station and have requested a new 5-year easement.
It is requested that the Executive Director recommend to the Board of Commissioners that it authorize and approve the entry into a 5-year easement agreement with Commonwealth Edison Company for District use of an approximately 50-foot x 50-foot parcel of ComEd land located at Foundry and Wolf Roads in Des Plaines, Illinois. Consideration shall be an initial annual fee of $2,000.00.
It is also requested that the Executive Director recommend to the Board of Commissioners that it authorize and direct the Chairman of the Committee on Finance and the Clerk to execute said easement agreement on behalf of the District after it is approved by the General Counsel as to form and legality.
Requested, Ronald M. Hill, General Counsel, RMH:STM:MM:rg
Recommended, David St. Pierre, Executive Director
