Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
The Division of Planning and Operations completed alley rehabilitation in Krumm Park in 2013. The costs accrued from labor, equipment and material expenses are costs that can be capitalized and are reimbursable to the Department of Public Service's Street, Construction, Maintenance & Repair Fund. For this project, approximately 3 miles of alleys were rehabilitated.
The Department of Development committed to funding the cost of rehabilitating these alleys. This legislation authorizes the expenditure of up to $147,943.33 for reimbursement of expenses accrued from the Krumm Park Alley Rehabilitation Project.
2. FISCAL IMPACT
Department of Development funds in the amount of $147,943.33 are available for this project within the Urban Infrastructure Recovery Fund of the General Obligations Bond Fund. Amendment to the 2013 C.I.B will be necessary to establish sufficient cash and authority in the proper project.
