Staff requests the Board consider a resolution for permit work performed by
employees of a municipality in lieu of a surety bond. The resolution will be active
for two years.
Chapter 121 of the Illinois revised statutes requires that any person, firm, or
corporation desiring to do work on state maintained right of way must first obtain
a written permit from the Illinois Department of Transportation. In the Villages
case this includes any emergency work on watermains and/or sewers.
This resolution assists in the expedition of the issuance of permits once the
resolution is adopted and returned to the state offices. This does not serve as a
blanket permit for all work by the Village in State rights of way.

Dear Mr. Waldorf:
Chapter 121 of the Illinois revised statutes requires that any person, firm or
corporation desiring to do work on state maintained rights of way must first
obtain a written permit. froa~x~ the Illinois department of transportation. This
includes any emergency work on broken watern~ains or sewers.
A surety bond is required with each permit application to insure that all work is
completed in accordance with state specifications and that .the.,. right of way is
properly restored. -
For permit work to be performed by employees of a munieipality.a resolution is ..:..
acceptable in lieu of the surety bond. This resolution does .not. relieve
contractors Nixed by the municipality from conforming with the normal bonding
requirements nor from obtaining permits.
The resolution should be enacted for a period of two years. This procedure will
save time and effort as well as reduce the annual paperwork- associated with an
annual resolution.
In order to expedite the issuance of permits to your municipality during the next
two calendar years the attached sample resolution. should .be adopted and a
signed and certified copy thereof returned to this office. This resolution does
not constitute a blanket permit for work in the State system. A separate
::~ application must be made in each instance. In the case of.an-emergency, verbal..
authority may be given prior to receipt of the written application: -After normal-
working_~:hours or.:.weekends,. this authority.. can be--obtained::from :our : _
