Resolution Authorizing Task Order 4 to the Professional Fee Agreement for Water and Sanitary Sewer Engineering Services Associated with the Compass Business Park
end
BACKGROUND:
Improvements to the City’s water and sewer infrastructure are required to serve the proposed Compass Business Park and surrounding areas in the City’s southeastern region. The Developer is tasked with completing the detailed design work that was identified in the planning report and is also tasked with coordinating the design work with the City to ensure that the project designs meet City requirements. Consulting engineering support is needed by the City to coordinate these improvements with the developer.
Section 4 of the Annexation and Development Agreement for the Compass Business Park states the Developer shall reimburse the City for the fees generated by external consultants and firms associated with the study, document review, design, construction, and construction engineering of water and sewer improvements for the development. On September 6, 2022, the Mayor and City Council approved a Professional Fee Agreement between the City and Compass Business Park. This Agreement sets the terms by which Compass Business Park will reimburse the City for water and sewer planning work that the City needs to complete to accommodate the Compass Business Park developments. Per the Agreement the City will contract directly with vendors, and then a Task Order will be executed between the City and the Developer for the subject vendor work. The Public Service Committee will review this matter.
CONCLUSION:
Task Order 4 is for reimbursement of the costs associated with the water and sewer planning and design review to be completed by Strand Assoc. Inc. related to the development.
RECOMMENDATION:
recommendation
Based on the above, it is recommended that the Mayor and City Council adopt the attached Resolution, authorizing the City Manager to sign Task Order 4 with East Gate - Logistics Park Chicago, LLC.
