Explanation
Ordinance 0740-2003 passed by City Council May 12, 2003, authorized the expenditure of $256,262.50 for construction inspection expenses for the Resurfacing 2003 Project 1 (OPWC). This amount is projected to be insufficient and additional monies are needed for this purpose. The shortage is due to the construction completion date being extended due to weather delays and additional work being added to the construction contract [that increases the inspection workload and cost]. In addition, inspection now includes some of the internal costs of the Transportation Division's Americans with Disabilities (ADA) service section. This ordinance authorizes the expenditure of $145,000.00 or so much thereof as may be needed for inspection work. This project is presently under construction.

This expense is budgeted in the Transportation Division's 2003 capital improvement program within the Resurfacing project in the 1995, 1999 Voted Streets and Highways Fund.


Emergency action is requested to be able to continue paying construction inspection expenses as soon as possible to maintain cash flow within the Development Services Fund and to keep the project on schedule.
