Attention: Neal Driscoll Vice President

SUBJECT: Proposed Building Review Liberty 55 Commerce Center 5064 S Merrimac Avenue BES Project No. 17-11:047 Revision 1 OUC File No. EFP-100647

Mr. Driscoll:
This correspondence supersedes the previously issued correspondence dated February 5, 2020 attached hereto. This correspondence is in response to an e-mail received August 9, 2019, and revised plans received January 8, 2020 regarding the subject project.
The Department of Water Management - Water Section
All live services must be terminated prior to issuance of demolition permit; all unused services/stubs must be terminated at the connection to the public water main prior to issuance of construction/building permit. This includes all permits issued for any new water service. It is the site owner's responsibility to terminate all existing services entering the site prior to construction. Notify the DWM immediately of any services entering the site not listed within DWM's records.

There is an existing 8-inch water service located at approximately 72 feet west of the west property line of Mobile Avenue is within in the project limits and is no longer required. This Department will perform only the pipe work associated with terminating this service, and the contractor will be responsible for obtaining all applicable permits, tracing equipment, excavation/OSHA shoring, backfilling/compaction, abandonment of appurtenances (valve box/valve basin and meter vault) and all restoration to CDOT standards. The fixed cost for this Department to perform the pipe work is $3,360.00, based on regular time. On December 9, 2019, a sum of $3,360.00 was deposited by Liberty Property Limited Partnership with the City of Chicago (Permit No. 1441875) to cover the cost of this water service termination and this service has since been terminated at themain.

However, Liberty Property Limited Partnership's contractor failed to abide by the previously issued letter dated February 5, 2020, requiring the abandonment of existing appurtenances (valve box/valve basin and meter vault) for the existing water services that were terminated under Permit No. 1441875.

Therefore, Liberty Property Limited Partnership's contractor must abandon the above mentioned appurtenances (valve boxes/valve basins and meter vault) as previously stated. Failure to comply with DWM requirements may result in an increase to the proposed project cost to verify all DWM standards have been met.
Based on the proposed plans, this proposed development will be located in the Township of Stickney and is requesting a new 12-inch water service to be installed on the northern frontage of W 51s( Street located at approximately the west property line of S Mulligan Avenue to connect to an existing City of Chicago 12-inch water main located at approximately 8 feet north of south property line of W 51st Street. This Department's scope of involvement in this water service installation is limited to installing one (1) 12-inch x 12-inch tee, one (1) 12-inch service control valve, and the construction of one (1) valve basin. In order to cross an existing 42-inch gas main, the proposed tee shall be installed facing south with the water service control valve installed to the south immediately adjacent to the existing 12-inch water main mentioned above. The owner will be responsible for the entire length of the proposed water service from the service control valve to the building, including where it crosses below the existing gas main. The proposed trench width must not exceed three (3) feet when crossing below existing DWM water facilities. A grant of privilege may be required for the water service control valve and meter vault, dependent on the location within the Township of Stickney versus the City of Chicago.

The fixed fee for the DWM to complete this work is $17,790.00, based on regular time. Note that the contractor will be responsible for obtaining all applicable permits, excavation/OSHA shoring, backfilling/compaction, all restoration to CDOT standards, and all ductile iron pipe necessary for this installation. Should it be determined that the water service cannot be installed at the proposed location, Liberty Property will be responsible for all additional costs necessary to install the water service;
Please contact the Department of Buildings, Plumbing Permit and Plan Section at bpermits@cityofchicago.org regarding the: proposed water service for the building. Per the Municipal Code, meters shall be installed before the building is connected to the water system. Additionally, a testable double check valve assembly and a Reduce Pressure Principle (RPZ) backflow assembly within an above ground heated enclosure 'hot box' to be located as close to the property line as physically possible for the water service installation is required. This hot box location must be submitted for review and approval to the Chief Plumbing inspector, Denis E. Riordan, at Denis.Riordan@cityofchicago.org . The proposed private fire hydrants must be painted Federal Safety Green'. Upon review of the fixture counts and private plumbing requirements by the Department of Buildings, Plumbing Permit and Plan Section, additional water service requirements and/or water service size may be required, resulting in additional costs to Liberty Property.
A certified check in the amount of $17,790.00, payable to the City of Chicago, must be hand delivered to the Department of Buildings, Plumbing Permit and Plan Section, 121 North LaSalle Street, Room 906, Chicago, Illinois, 60602, with a copy ofthis letter.
The proposed private sewers will be installed near existing private water services. Please contact the Township of Stickney for more information regarding the location of these private water facilities.
This Department's utility separation requirements are as follows: The minimum vertical clearance (edge-to-edge) from all water mains is 18 inches. For feeder mains (water mains 16-

Page 3
Liberty Property March 2, 2022

, inches and larger), the minimum horizontal clearance (edge-to-edge) is five (5) feet, and for grid mains (water mains less than 16-inches), the minimum horizontal clearance (edge-to-edge) is three (3) feet. No proposed above ground facility (tree, planter box, light pole, etc.) can be closer than five (5) feet (edge-to-edge) from a water main or closer than three (3) feet (edge-to-edge) from a water service. Should the DWM require access to its facilities, it will not be responsible for the costs to remove or support any above ground structures adjacent to its facilities.

All new sewer installations or reused sewers must meet IEPA separation requirements for water and sewer pipes. All proposed/replaced or reused sewer laterals from catch basins/inlets, sewer mains, and private drains (collectively known as "sewer facilities") that are parallel to water mains, services or fire hydrant leads (collectively known as "water facilities") that are less than 18 inches below the water facility and have less than 10 feet of horizontal separation from the outside edge of the water facility must be made out of ductile iron/water main quality pipe for 10 feet on either side of the outside edge of the water facility. Additionally, all sewer facilities that cross perpendicularly below water facilities with less than 18 inches vertical separation must be made out of ductile iron/water main quality pipe for 10 feet on either side of the outside edge of the water facility. If any sewer facility crosses perpendicularly above a water facility, then the sewer facility shall be at least 18 inches above the water facility and the sewer facility must be made out of ductile iron/water main quality pipe for 10 feet on either side of the outside edge of the water facility. Sewer laterals that require ductile iron/water main quality pipe shall be ductile iron/water main quality pipe from the catch basin to a point 10 feet beyond the edge of the water facility.

This Department also maintains an existing fire hydrant on the western frontage of S Mulligan Avenue which will be within the proposed construction limits. All new curb installation adjacent to fire hydrants must be painted 'safety yellow' for 15 feet on each side of the fire hydrant except where the 15:foot dimension intersects a crosswalk, driveway or similar feature. In no case shall the installation of any proposed facility be closer than five (5) feet from a fire hydrant or fire hydrant lead.
If construction requires the use of water from a City fire hydrant, or adjustments or repairs are required to any City sewer facilities in proximity to the project site, permits must be obtained from the Department of Water Management, Water and Sewer Sections.
Any traffic and pedestrian protection structures such as canopies, scaffolding, jersey walls, construction barricades, etc., which are located within 10 feet of water main facilities will restrict this Department's continuous access to its facilities for maintenance or repair work. Therefore, should this Department require access to its existing facilities, Liberty Property will be responsible for either removing the traffic and pedestrian protection structures or performing any necessary excavation required to provide this Department safe access to its existing facilities within 24-hour notice. Traffic and pedestrian protection structures must be installed to allow for complete accessibility to all DWM facilities, including fire hydrants, valve basins, sewer manholes, and catch basins.
Proposed trees must not be planted within five (5) feet of the exterior pipe wall for all water mains 24-inch in diameter and larger. This 5-foot rule excludes mains that are separated from the tree by a hardscape feature or other root growth limiting conditions such as water mains located in the street.
Page 4
Liberty Property March 2, 2022
This Department discourages tree planting over water mains that are less than 24-inches in diameter located in the parkway, but if necessary will allow trees with a maximum mature height of 30 feet and a maximum mature root depth of TA feet. Potential plantings that meet this requirement include the following:
Ornamental shrubs or bushes meeting the mature height and mature root depth discussed above.
Flowers or other non-woody herbaceous plants.
Above ground, movable planting containers that can be relocated by the owner of the plantings in the event that access to the water main is required.

Existing trees planted above water mains that do not meet these requirements do not need to be removed. However, if such existing trees are removed, all proposed trees installed in their place must meet the above-mentioned requirements. Should it be necessary for the DWM to access any of its facilities, the Department shall only be responsible for typical pavement, sidewalk, and hydroseed restoration.

Extreme caution is to be taken to ensure that no facility owned and maintained by this Department is damaged during construction. If damage occurs to any facilities, Liberty Property will be held responsible for the cost of repairing or replacing them.
Please note that the details described above are valid for 90 days from the date of this letter, after which time, Liberty Property will be responsible for re-submitting plans to this Department for review and revision of the estimate of cost, as needed. Failure to comply with the provisions in this correspondence may result in additional expenses to the proposed project to verify that all work conforms to DWM's standards.
If there are any questions regarding the water facilities, please contact Angela Krueger at Angela.Krueger@cityofchicago.org .
