CIP Maintenance/Repairs 2001 The Board was informed of a new repair problem that occurred last week. A sinkhole has developed above the District's outlet pipe to Suburban Pond due to joint separation. Brad has obtained a bid from the contractor as follows: $9600 for dewatering, pulling back the pipe, pouring a concrete collar, and restoration of the whole area. The first $2500 would cover the dewatering so the pipe can first be inspected before they proceed with the anticipated repairs. The additional costs will be paid from the project maintenance fund. Beltline Outlet Structure Improvements Cliff reported that DNR is willing to grant an easement to the District at no cost if we will include in our project the capping of a cast iron pipe that exists in our construction area. It used to feed water to the DNR's Fisheries Building. He noted that the District needs to issue the Notice to Proceed by May 17. PFS Project Tracey Galowitz announced that she has responded to Z & H Contractors' bonding company, informing them that Ban Engineering has determined that there are no monies due the contractor, and an overrun in costs actually exists. 7. ADMINISTRATORS REPORT Staff Safetx Procedures and Manual Cliff reported that preparation of a District safety manual is underway, and the staff's first monthly training meeting will be held next Monday. Permit Reviews and the Encouragement to Provide Infiltration Areas Staff recommended that the District. adopt a policy to require grading permit applicants to demonstrate that they have attempted to incorporate infiltration areas into their design plans. Staff have been encouraging applicants to incorporate infiltration where appropriate. Jack Frost suggested that this policy be incorporated into our next Watershed Management Plan revision. Cliff stated that this policy would primarily affect redevelopment, commercial, and industrial sites. It was suggested that staff identify what has been shown to be feasible and develop criteria for when these systems would be effective.
