Fiber Locating Agreement - Adesta LLC First Amendment
History
In 2014 the village embarked on a long-range plan in coordination with local school districts to create an area-wide fiber network to improve efficiencies in technology and communication. In June, 2017, the Village Board approved a contract with Adesta LLC of Willowbrook, Illinois (formerly known as G4S) to begin the first large scale fiber installation for the village. Additionally, the Village Board approved intergovernmental agreements with School District 135 (SD135) and School District 230 (SD230) to facilitate cooperation for the installation, operation and overall maintenance of the underground fiber and to enter into a cost sharing for the locating of underground fiber.

The village’s ability to use these ducts reduces the amount of infrastructure we will have to invest and construct in the future. SD135 duct is currently utilized by the village along both Ravinia Avenue and 151st Street to complete connectivity to various village facilities, including the Village Hall Complex, Police Station, Public Works, Main Pump Station and 151st Lift Station.
Additionally, the village owns approximately 7 miles of 4” conduit along LaGrange Road that we agreed to share with SD230. The village also currently utilizes the LaGrange Road conduit from Elevated Tank #6 located west of 131st Street to 156th Street. SD230 utilizes separate fiber in the same conduit linking communications between Carl Sandburg, their administrative facility at 151st Street & 94th Avenue and Victor J. Andrew High School.
By agreement SD135, SD230 and the village, utilize Adesta LLC to locate approximately 16 miles of joint fiber installation. The owners of the ducts will be billed by Adesta LLC for each locate, then each owner will be reimbursed by the other occupants ...
