BACKGROUND:
In October 2020, the City of Joliet passed a resolution to enter into a Feasibility Cost Share Agreement (FCSA) with the Department of the Army. The feasibility study identified various properties throughout the project limits that will need to be purchased or to dedicate easements in order to construct the proposed levee. Upon review of items with the Army Corp of Engineer’s (ACOE), additional requirements were imposed on the City. The additional requirements include Yellow Book Standards and standards that are atypical for these types of processes. The Public Service Committee reviewed this memo at the December 18, 2023 meeting and recommended for approval by full Council.
CONCLUSION:
In order to facilitate the additional requirements, set forth by the ACOE’s, an amendment was requested from Santacruz Land Acquisitions. The amendment includes an additional $1,000 for title work per parcel (five parcels in total) and $10,250 for appraisal and negotiation services.
Funds will be charged to the proposed 2023/2024 Capital Improvement Funds/ Engineering & Construction (Org 30090270, Object 557200, $67,500.00).
RECOMMENDATION:
