Title
Authorization for payment to the City of Oak Forest, Illinois, for the disposal of sediment from the La Crosse Avenue and Laporte Avenue culverts on Natalie Creek in connection with Contract 14-252-5F, Flood Control Project on Natalie Creek in Oak Forest and Midlothian, CSA, in an amount not to exceed $10,000.00, Account 501-50000-612400
Body
Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to make payment, by direct voucher, to the City of Oak Forest, Illinois (City) for the disposal of sediment from the La Crosse Avenue and Laporte Avenue Culverts on Natalie Creek, in an amount not to exceed $10,000.00.
In accordance with the Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) entered into with the City for Contract 14-252-5F, Flood Control Project on Natalie Creek in Midlothian and Oak Forest, CSA. The District is responsible for sediment removal from culverts located at La Crosse Avenue and Laporte Avenue. The sediment removal work was omitted in Contract 14-252-5F and was therefore not completed as part of the Natalie Creek Flood Control Project. In coordination with the City, the District will complete the sediment removal work under Contract 21-646-51, Small Streams Maintenance in Cook County, Illinois, Group B. The City has agreed to provide transportation of the sediment to a Clean Construction Demolition Debris disposal site.
The District will reimburse the City for tipping fees incurred by the disposal. The amount of sediment is approximately 150 cubic yards. It is expected that the final tipping fees will not exceed $10,000.00. Inasmuch as the disposal of sediment by the City is not available through any other source of supply, nothing would be gained by advertising for bids (Section 11.4 of the Purchasing Act).
It is hereby recommended that the Board of Commissioners authorize payment, by direct voucher, to the City of Oak Forest, Illinois, in an amount not to exceed $10,000.00. Funds are available in Account 501-50000-612400.
Requested, Catherine A. O’Connor, Director of Engineering, KMF:JK
Recommended, Brian A. Perkovich, Executive Director
