FROM: Kurt Muth, PE, Engineering Coordinator
DATE: January 13, 2024
SUBJECT:
A Resolution authorizing the Mayor to sign and execute the Water Main Easement Agreement with Commonwealth Edison Company (ComEd) as part of the Middlebury Drive to LaJolla Court Water Main Installation.
PURPOSE:
The signed Easement Agreement is necessary in obtaining the ComEd easement and permit for the Middlebury Drive to LaJolla Court Water Main Installation project.
BACKGROUND:
Water main installation has been deemed necessary from Middlebury Drive to LaJolla Court to increase system capacity. The City's engineering consultant modeled the water distribution system in anticipation of the Lincoln Prairie development in the southeast area end of the system and identified two necessary water main extensions to serve potential commercial development at that location. This is the last of those two locations. As part of the development agreement, the Pulte Group will be reimbursing the city for the cost of this project including all City of Aurora engineering division efforts to design, permit and manage the construction of this project. The proposed route of the 12" high density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe water main crosses ComEd property via directional drilling. The one time fee of $3,000 will also be reimbursed by the Pulte Group. This project fee is budgeted for in 2025 within account 510-4058-511-73-01 (IC062) which has a 2025 budget amount of $600,000.
DISCUSSION:
The easement agreement, easement invoice, ComEd plat of easement, and the engineering plans are attached as Exhibits A, B, C, and D.
IMPACT STATEMENT:
Authorization of this resolution will allow the City to obtain the necessary ComEd Easement Agreement for construction of the 12" HDPE pipe water main.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
I request the proposed resolution be adopted.
