Explanation
This legislation authorizes the Transportation Division to reimburse $58,851.44 to the Public Utilities Department, Sewerage and Drainage Division, for resurfacing work associated with storm sewer improvements constructed on Binns Boulevard.
During the 2003 construction season, the Sewerage and Drainage Division let a project to perform storm sewer work on Binns Boulevard north of Briggs Road. The condition of the roadway was such that resurfacing was necessary. The Transportation Division was also considering a resurfacing project in this area. In an effort to provide a consistent and seamless paved surface in conjunction with the storm sewer improvements it was decided that the Sewerage and Drainage Division would be the lead agency. It was in the City's best interest to include the resurfacing in the storm sewer project. This saved the City time and money by having one division administer this project, including both the storm sewer and resurfacing work, and saved placing an unnecessary burden on the residents located on Binns Boulevard.
Project managers from both divisions worked together to complete this project. The final cost breakout has been completed. The amount is equal to what the Transportation Division would have paid to have another contractor mobilize and complete the resurfacing work.
Funds for this reimbursement are available within the 1995, 1999 Voted Streets and Highways Fund. This ordinance transfers a portion of the needed funds that were cancelled from old encumbrances in another project ($54,985.49) to the Arterial Street Rehabilitation project from which it is expended. The balance, $3,865.95, already resides in this fund.
