Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
This ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Service to reimburse the Department of Public Utilities for work performed in conjunction with the Dyer / Lazar HSTS Elimination Project.
The aforementioned project encompassed the extension of more than 6,400 feet of sanitary sewer service in the vicinity of Dyer and Lazar roads for the purpose of reducing the reliance on home treatment systems in that area due to the potential hazard of groundwater pollution. As part of that effort, the Department of Public Utilities directed its contractor, John Eramo & Sons, Inc., to resurface Lazar Road and Tanis Drive at the behest of the Department of Public Service. The Department of Public Utilities fronted the cost of resurfacing those roadways, which totaled $120,792.00. This ordinance authorizes the Department of Public Service to encumber and expend the requisite funds to reimburse the Department of Public Utilities for the completion of said improvements.
2. FISCAL IMPACT
Funding in the amount of $120,792.00 is available in the Streets and Highways Bond Fund within the Department of Public Service to support this project expenditure. An amendment to the 2022 Capital Improvement Budget is necessary for the purpose of providing sufficient spending authority for the aforementioned expenditure.
3. EMERGENCY DESIGNATION
Emergency action is requested in order to enable the Department of Public Service to satisfy the outstanding obligation owed to the Department of Public Utilities as soon as reasonably practicable.
4. MINORITY AND WOMAN OWNED BUSINESS ENTERPRISE & SMALL LOCAL BUSINESS ENTERPRISE PROGRAM
