The Honorable John P. Piazza
Mayor
Village of Lemont
418 Main Street
Lemont, IL 60439 -3788
Dear Mayor Piazza:
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 from the Illinois department of transportation. This
includes any emergency work on broken watermains 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 municipality a resolution is
acceptable in lieu of the surety bond. This resolution does not relieve
contractors hired 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
Communications Center at (847)705 -4612.

RE: RESOLUTION FOR CONSTRUCTION ON STATE HIGHWAY
We would appreciate the cooperation of your community in withholding the
issuance of building permits along State highways until the builder shows
evidence of a State highway permit having been obtained. Our permit staff
would be willing to answer any questions you may have regarding current
policies or practices and to work with your planning commission on any new
developments within your municipality.
Do not hesitate to contact Dave Krueger, Acting Permit Manager, at (847) 705-
4130 if you have any question or need further assistance.
Very truly yours,
Diane M. O'Keefe, P.E.
Deputy Director of Highways,
Region One Engineer
