WHEREAS, the Village of Mt. Prospect has undertaken the construction
of the 1953 Water Works Improvements, and has on the 20th day of
June, 1953, entered into a contract with Keno Construction Company,
Inc., for the construction thereof, and
WHEREAS, a part of said improvements is an altitude valve chamber
near the base of the elevated tank located at Busse Street and Northwest
Highway, and
WHEREAS, the Contract Drawings provide for a crushed stone French
drain beneath said chamber to carry away waste water discharged by
the altitude valve, and
WHEREAS, when said chamber and French drain were constructed it
was found that the soil contained a water bearing stratum, rendering
the drain ineffective and the altitude valve inoperable, and
WHEREAS, Keno Construction Co., Inc. , has proposed to construct a
drain to the street sewer, complete in place, including backwater
protection, pavement removal and replacement, all in accordance with
the recommendations of the Water Superintendent, for the lump sum
price of $873.40, and
WHEREAS, Consoer, Townsend and Associates have given their opinion
that said drain is the only satisfactory recourse to make the altitude valve
operable, and that the proposal of the Contractor is reasonable, now therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED, by the President and Board of Trustees of the Village
of Mount Prospect, that Contract Supplement No. 3, providing for a net
addition to the Contract Price of $873.40 be and is hereby authorized, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the President and Clerk be authorized
and are hereby directed to sign the same on behalf of the Village.
