August 8, 2019

Board Actions:

Agenda Item 19-0785 #70

Lou Presta, Mayor Village of Crestwood and Terry O'Brien, the O'Brien Network, addressed the Board to consider the lease on 44.61 acres of District real estate in Crestwood, specifically to consider the lease terms at 6% for the Crestwood Casino Project.
Later in the meeting, a motion was made by Debra Shore, seconded by Marcelino Garcia, to Amend Agenda Item #70 to put parcel out for bid at 8%. The motion to amend failed.
MOTION was finally passed to amend File No. 19-0785 to grant Authority to advertise Contract 19-365-11 for public tender of bids for a 99-year lease on 44.61 acres of District real estate located south of the Cal-Sag Channel between Cicero Avenue and Kostner Avenue in Crestwood, Illinois; Cal-Sag Channel Parcels 12.05, 12.07 and 12.08. The minimum initial annual rental bid shall be established at $1,262,500.

Agenda Item 19-0720: #22

Authorization to amend Board Order of June 6, 2019, for Authority to advertise Contract 16-708-21, Repair and Rehabilitation of the Gloria Alitto Majewski Reservoir in Des Plaines, Illinois, estimated cost $1,200,000.

Agenda Item 19-0745 #35

Authority to advertise Contract 18-277-3M Digester Sludge Heating System Upgrades and Boiler Removal, Calumet Water Reclamation Plant, estimated cost between $27,075,000 and $32,775,000. The contract is expected to be awarded in December 2019.
The boilers for the Digester Complex are between 20 to over 30 years old. Due to their condition, the increased risk of failure necessitates their replacement to ensure an appropriate level of service for the digestion process and space heating. It is felt that it is economically justified to replace or rehabilitate them due to the increased level of maintenance cost.
