Body
Dear Sir:
The City of Evanston (“Evanston”) has requested a 9-month permit for access to the District’s North Shore Intercepting Sewer System in Evanston to install, monitor and remove five (5) flow meters within the District’s North Shore Intercepting Sewer System in Evanston, Illinois to evaluate the flow of Evanston’s sewer system. Evanston has agreed to share all data obtained in monitoring the intercepting sewer flow with the District.
The District’s technical departments have no objections to granting the permit provided that 24-hour unrestricted access to District’s structures and sewers is maintained. The permit will also be subject to Evanston and its contractor executing confined space entry releases.
A nominal fee of $10.00 is recommended since Evanston is a municipal agency and the District will receive data relevant to its corporate function.
It is requested that the Executive Director recommend to the Board of Commissioners that it authorize and approve the issuance of a 9-month confined space entry permit to the City of Evanston to install, monitor and remove five (5) flow meters within the District’s North Shore Intercepting Sewer System in Evanston, Illinois to evaluate the flow of Evanston’s sewer system. Consideration shall be a nominal fee of $10.00.
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 agreement after it is approved by the General Counsel as to form and legality.
Requested, Susan T. Morakalis, General Counsel, STM:MTC:npe
Recommended, Brian A. Perkovich, Executive Director
Disposition of this agenda item will be documented in the official Regular Board Meeting Minutes of the Board of Commissioners for May 6, 2021
