TRANSMITTAL LETTER FOR BOARD MEETING OF JULY 11, 2024
COMMITTEE ON REAL ESTATE
Mr. Brian A. Perkovich, Executive Director
Title
Authority to issue a one-year permit to American Survey and Engineering to conduct potholing and related utility investigation work as part of the IL-43 (Harlem Avenue) Roadway Improvement Project at 5005 S. Harlem Avenue in Forest View, Illinois; Main Channel Parcel 37.03. Consideration shall be a permit fee of $5,000.00
Body
Dear Sir:
The Illinois Department of Transportation (“IDOT”) is in the preliminary stages of its IL-43 (Harlem Avenue) Roadway Improvement Project (“Project”). As part of the Project, its contractor, American Survey and Engineering (“ASE”), will need to locate three District sludge pipelines on Main Channel 37.03 so that they are not impacted or damaged by the planned road improvement project. ASE estimates that it will need to dig up to twenty potholes in the proposed work area.
ASE has requested a one-year permit to conduct potholing and related utility investigation work as necessary in connection with the Project. Main Channel 37.03 is near the District’s Harlem Avenue Solids Management Area (“HASMA”) and is reserved for corporate use.
The District’s technical departments have reviewed ASE’s request and have no objections thereto. A fee in the amount of $5,000.00 is recommended, as the pro-rata share of 10% of the fair market value of the land would yield a fee less than the District’s minimum fee of $5,000.00.
It is requested that the Executive Director recommend to the Board of Commissioners that it issue a one-year permit to American Survey and Engineering to conduct potholing and related utility investigation work as part of the IL-43 (Harlem Avenue) Roadway Improvement Project at 5005 S. Harlem Avenue in Forest View, Illinois; Main Channel Parcel 37.03. Consideration shall be a permit fee of $5,000.00.
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 permit agreement after it is approved by the General Counsel as to form and legality.
Requested, Susan T. Morakalis, General Counsel, STM:BJD:KHY
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 July 11, 2024
