Vice President of Construction

SUBJECT: Proposed Street Vacation
Water Main and Sewer Main Abandonment and Relocation 1061 W Van Buren Street
S Aberdeen Street - W Van Buren Street to W Tilden Street W Tilden Street - S Aberdeen Street to W Van Buren Street BES Project No. 15-12:055 OUC Permit No. 2015-67321 (Vacation)

Mr. Kenney:

This correspondence is in response to a meeting between representatives of Pizzuti and the Department of Water Management (DWM) on May 6, 2019, regarding the proposed vacation of S Aberdeen Street, and supersedes the previously issued DWM correspondence dated October 26, 2018. The DWM must review and approve Pizzuti's final plans prior to construction, and further comments and costs for DWM's involvement in the overall project may result from that review.
In order to accommodate this development and the proposed vacation of S Aberdeen Street, Pizzuti will execute a reservation for the benefit of the DWM within the S Aberdeen Street right-of-way for the existing water and sewer facilities located within that area. This will allow the street vacation to proceed while new water and sewer facilities are installed in W Tilden Street by Pizzuti's contractor. Once the new water and sewer facilities are installed and approved for service by the DWM, the existing water and sewer facilities in S Aberdeen Street can then be abandoned and the reservation vacated.
In the event Pizzuti is unable to complete the water and sewer installations in W Tilden Street, a deposit is required from which the DWM may complete the work. The required deposit amount for the Water Section is $440,231.82, and the required deposit for the Sewer Section is $2,167,446.04. These estimates are based on current rates for labor, materials, equipment and overhead charges, but actual costs will be billed to Pizzuti upon DWM's completion of the work.
