Engineer’s Report:
IDOT resolution – Ossola informed the board of an Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) resolution required for the Casey’s force main sewer project to be constructed in the state’s right-of-way. The resolution states that the Village agrees to oversee the construction, will ensure that the restoration is done properly and that the contractor does what he should. Cleveland Street patching – Ossola measured the areas on Cleveland Street to be patched following the East
End Electric Upgrade project. There is quite a bit more patching than was initially assumed to be done. A revised estimate of cost will require approval before patching can be done. Ossola has obtained pricing from Advanced Asphalt for the job.
