COMMITTEE ON REAL ESTATE
Mr. Brian A. Perkovich, Executive Director
Title
Authority to issue a 9-month confined space entry permit to the City of Evanston to access the District’s North Side Intercepting Sewer System in Evanston, Illinois to rehabilitate the Greenleaf Street Evanston-owned sewers. Consideration shall be a nominal fee of $10.00 (As Revised)
Body
Dear Sir:
The City of Evanston (“Evanston”) has requested a 9-month permit for access to the District’s North Side Intercepting Sewer System (“Sewer System”) in Evanston to rehabilitate 3,615 feet of sewer owned by Evanston along Greenleaf Street from the North Side Channel to Dewey Avenue. To perform the repairs on its sewers, Evanston must access the District’s Sewer System to reach its own sewers. The work will be performed by one of Evanston’s sewer lining contractors and include cleaning, liner installation, and pre- and post-lining CCTV pipe inspection.
The District’s technical departments have no objections to issuing the permit provided that 24-hour unrestricted access to District structures and sewers is maintained. Evanston and its contractor will also be required to execute confined space entry releases.
A nominal fee of $10.00 is recommended as is customary for governmental entities using District property for a public purpose.
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 access the District’s North Side Intercepting Sewer System in Evanston, Illinois to rehabilitate the Greenleaf Street Evanston-owned sewers.
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:MSZ
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 5, 2022
