| | | | | | | | | SUBJECT: Resolution Authorizing License P-11718 For Underground Pipelines, Cables and Conduits for a Water Main with the Illinois Central Railroad on Faries Parkway at Brush College Road |
|
| | | | | | | | | SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council approve the Resolution authorizing a License P-11718 for Underground Pipelines, Cables and Conduits between the Illinois Central Railroad Company (ICRR) and the City of Decatur for the installation and maintenance of a 16” water main being constructed in Faries Parkway, extending under the ICRR tracks at Brush College. The License Agreement includes a one-time payment of $6,000. This work is part of the Brush College Grade Separation Project. |
|
| | | | | | | | | BACKGROUND: As the design work for the Brush College Road grade separation project was being finalized, the engineer began working with the railroads to secure license agreements for the storm sewers and water mains what would be extended under the tracks as part of the project. Although this interaction began nearly two years ago, the railroad required information that only the contractor could provide. The contractor has provided the additional construction details requested by the railroad and a license for the storm sewer is now ready to approve.
The license agreement will allow the water main to be constructed and maintained. The ICRR requires a one-time fee of $6,000 for the license. See the location map for further details.
LEGAL REVIEW: Legal reviewed and approved the agreement on April 8, 2024. |
