Section #11 Alderman Bonaguidi, Chairman of the Sewer Committee, made
Storm Sewer the following report: "The Sewer Committee has had referred
to it the matter of whether to continue construction of the
Storm sewer in. Elmhurst .'Road south of Golf .Road.,under Section
11 of the storm sewer project. The Committee has met and' conferred •with the
Finance Committee, the City Engineer, City Attorney and the Mayor and makes
the following report:.
1. The --State Division of Highways has communicated togabiook Plumbing
Company- that it will not permit traffic ' to be disrupted'duririg,construction
of the sewer on '.the east side of Route #83.
2. _The,"City Engineer has stated. to the Committee that •abandoning, completion
of the sewer in Route 83 will not jeopardize that part 'of'the city benefited
by said, sewer, provided that the storm sewer is re-routed along Algonquin
Road.. ,
3. The City Engineer has estimated that the cost of the sewer in Algonquin
Road will not exceed the cost of ;continuing the sewer'along Route #83.
14..Clearbrook Plumbing claims that it is entitled to $22,750.00 if the
sewer in Route 83 is abandoned, which sum represents, according to Clearbrook,
work completed in stalling the Route #83 sewer already laid and work to
be done in back filling, bulk heading and paving in Route 83 if said
location is abandoned.
5. The City Engineer has reviewed:the items making up the $22,750.00 .claim
of Clearbrook and has consulted with this Committee, the Mayor, Finance
Committee, and the City Attorney relative to said items. It is the judgment,
of this Committee and the Finance Committee. that certain of those items
included by Clearbrook are not justified, such as a return of bond premium
unused in the amount of $3,500.00 and cost of renting and moving of equipment
in -the amount of $3,000.00.
6. This Committee together with the Mayor, City Engineer and City Attorney
met with Mr. DiMucci of Clearbrook in an effort to negotiate a settlement.
It is our view that Clearbrook is entitled only to the sum of $3,871.81
for work completed on the Route 83 sewer and $11,225.00 for work remaining
to be done in back filling, bulk heading and paving, or a total of $15,096.87.

Clearbrook has agreed to accept said $15,096.87 in full settlement of all
claims under the contract insofar as it relates to the Elmhurst Road
sewer south of Golf Road.
7. The City Engineer has advised this Committee that Clearbrook is also
entitled to the sum of $11,103.65 for work already completed under Section.
11 for the Oakton system feeders in the Lee and Everett area.
8. The City Attorney advises that any decision to halt further construction
of the sewer in Route #83 should be upon the condition that a written
agreement rescinding the contract, in a form approved by the City Attorney,
be entered into by the City and Clearbrook. The City Attorney has prepared
a draft of such agreement.
Therefore your Sewer Committee recommends that the agreement between the
City. and Clearbrook Plumbing Company be rescinded under a written agreement
with.{Clearbrook in a form to be approved by the City Attorney, for the
following sums to be paid by the, City to Clearbrook: $11,225.00 for work
to -be done, $3,871.87 for work already completed on the Route 83 sewer,
and.$11,103.65 for work already completed on Oakton Street." It was moved
