end
BACKGROUND:
On June 4, 2024 the Mayor and City Council awarded the Professional Services Agreement for the design of the Lois Place Lift Station Rehabilitation project. The project includes replacing the existing Lois Place Lift Station with a new lift station and equipment. Preliminary engineering concluded that the existing site location is not desirable for the new lift station due to the limited space within the City’s right-of-way. Therefore, it is recommended that the City purchase a small piece of land from the adjacent property owner, Larkin Professional Centre LLC, in order to construct the new lift station outside of the right of way. The Public Service Committee will review this matter.
CONCLUSION:
Staff contacted the owner and negotiated a purchase price of $22,500.00 for the 32’ x 55’ lot.
Sufficient funds exist utilizing the Water & Sewer Improvement Fund / Lift Stations / Land (Org 50180031, Object 557100, $22,500.00).
RECOMMENDATION:
recommendation
Based on the above, it is recommended that the attached Resolution be approved authorizing the City Manager to take such action as may be reasonably required for the City of Joliet to timely perform the obligations of the City set forth therein and complete the conveyance of the subject property of the subdivided commercial lot at PIN 30-07-06-422-013-0000 from Larkin Professional Centre LLC in the amount of $22,500.00.
