Explanation
The Public Utilities Department, Sewerage and Drainage Division, Stormwater Management Section is constructing capital improvements under its Capital Improvement Project (CIP) 923, Bliss Run Relief Trunk Sewer Improvements, Phase 3. The scope of this project includes storm sewer work along Templeton Road that may adversely impact the quality of the existing paved roadway. The Public Service Department, Transportation Division agrees that the existing Templeton Road pavement currently requires maintenance to correct a significant depression in the roadway. In an effort to provide a consistent and seamless project, save the City time and money and avoid placing an unnecessary burden on area residents due to two divisions and possibly two different contractors being involved, it is in the City's best interest to combine the storm sewer and pavement work into a single project administered by the Sewerage and Drainage Division.
This legislation authorizes the Transportation Division to reimburse the Sewerage and Drainage Division $94,384.51 for this pavement work. This estimated amount is equal to what the Transportation Division would pay its contractor to mobilize and complete the pavement work on Templeton Road.
Fiscal Impact: This reimbursement is budgeted in the amount of $150,000.00 within the Transportation Division's 2005 Capital Improvements Budget in the 1995, 1999, 2004 Streets and Highways Fund, Roadway Improvements project. The difference between the budgeted amount and the actual reimbursement expense will be available for other roadway improvement projects.
