Title
License Agreement Permitting Use of Village Property - LaGrange Road Overpass Construction - Agreement
History
The construction of the Metra Overpass and the Village’s Pedestrian Bridge (Project) is a State project awarded and managed by the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT). The Project has two separate contracts (Embankment and Structural) and two separate contractors: Embankment - Copenhaver Construction, Inc. and Structural - Lorig Construction Company.
The Embankment contractor (Copenhaver Construction, Inc.) sought and obtained Village permission to use a vacant lot within the Triangle during 2011. On November 7, 2011, use was authorized by the Board and a License Agreement with a one dollar fee was executed.
Lorig Construction, IDOT’s Structural contractor (Contract 60K64) for the Metra Overpass and the Village’s Pedestrian Bridge, has also asked for permission to use a vacant area within the Triangle. The space being requested by Lorig is approximately one acre in size, immediately south of the Triangle detention pond, and north of a Field Office trailer currently in use by F.H. Paschen. This parcel was used by Lake County Grading during Paschen’s 143rd Street and LaGrange Road intersection reconstruction project for the storage of crushed concrete and sub-base material. This space is currently unused and, as proposed by Lorig, will be for the temporary storage of pre-manufactured bridge components, associated materials for bridge construction and bridge erection cranes and related support equipment.
The location of the requested space and access to and from the space is shown on the attached Exhibit. The attached Agreement prepared by Counsel, permits use of the space through August 30, 2012. Lorig’s approved schedule anticipates a July 2012 completion date for their work. As with the Copenhaver License Agreement, a one-dollar fee is also proposed for Lorig’s License.
