Explanation
1. BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to reimburse the Department of Public Service for resurfacing work on Floral Avenue, which is associated with the Group Three Water Line Improvements Project, in the amount of $12,041.25. A portion of the repaving work was to be paid under Public Utilities's construction contract, with a reimbursement made by Public Service up to $75,000. It was decided that the entire road needed paved, rather than the single lane width, and Public Service determined it would be less expensive to repave the road under their 2011 Resurfacing Project 3 contract.
2. EMERGENCY DESIGNATION
Emergency action is requested in order to reimburse the Department of Public Service for work that has been completed.
3. FISCAL IMPACT: A transfer of funds within the Water Super Build America Bonds Fund will be necessary, as well as an amendment to the 2011 Capital Improvements Budget.
