Resolution Accepting a Public Utility Easement and Temporary Construction Easement from Stonemor Illinois LLC (PIN 05-06-11-409-033-0010; -0020) for the Essington and Jefferson Interceptor Sewer Project
end
BACKGROUND:
On January 5, 2021 the Mayor and City Council awarded the Essington and Jefferson Interceptor Sewer Project to Len Cox and Sons. The project includes replacing the existing lift station and forcemain that are undersized and at the end of their useful life with a gravity interceptor on Jefferson Street. A public utility easement is required to install the sanitary interceptor because the IDOT ROW does not extend to the same width in front of the entrance to Woodlawn Memorial Park II. In addition, a temporary construction easement is needed to the west of the entrance to allow for completion of construction. The property, PIN No’s. 05-06-11-409-033-0010; -0020, will be restored to preconstruction conditions following completion of the work. The Public Service Committee will review this matter.
CONCLUSION:
The Administration has reached an agreement with the owner of PINs 05-06-11-409-033-0010; -0020 for the appraised value of $5,200.00 for the easement and has prepared the attached Resolution and Agreement accepting the permanent and temporary easements necessary. The Administration has also reached an agreement with the owner for a $450 landscaping voucher to waive the replacement of the trees required for removal.
Sufficient funds exist utilizing the Water & Sewer Improvement Fund / Sewer / Land (Org 50180020, Object 557100, Project 16126 $5,650.00).
RECOMMENDATION:
recommendation
Based on the above, it is recommended that the attached Resolution be approved authorizing the Administration to accept the public utility easement and temporary construction easement document on behalf of the City. It is also recommended that payment, in the amount of $5,650.00, be authorized to Stonemor Illinois LLC.
