Explanation
Background: The Transportation Division is in need of four (4) solar-powered message boards. These message boards are necessary for daily operations and are critical to the Division's mission by providing the motoring public important traffic and roadway information. These message boards will be purchased per the terms of a citywide contract established by the Purchasing Office with the Paul Peterson Company, BPINF 12F. These message boards will enhance the Division's equipment inventory and replace older message boards that are at the end of their serviceable lives.
The base cost of the message boards is $29,628.00. Total cost for all message boards is $118,512.00.
Emergency action is requested to that the message boards will be available for immediate use for street maintenance and traffic operations and to promote worksite information and employee safety.
Fiscal Impact: The Transportation Division budgeted $3.17 million in the 2004 Capital Improvements Budget for street equipment. These funds have either all been expended or encumbered for existing purchases of street equipment. This ordinance authorizes an expenditure of $118,512.00. Therefore, this ordinance authorizes a transfer of funds within the Transportation Division's 2004 Capital Improvement Budget in the 1995, 1999 Voted Streets and Highways Fund from the Facilities project to the Street Equipment project.
This ordinance amends the 2004 Capital Improvements Budget to allow for this expenditure. The Street Equipment project is being increased by $118,512.00 from $4,501,329.00 to $4,619,841.00 with a corresponding decrease in the amount budgeted for division Facility improvements.
