Explanation

Background: This legislation authorizes the reimbursement to the Public Utilities Department, Division of Sewerage and Drainage (DOSD) in the amount of $130,000.00 for sidewalk and ADA curb ramp installation associated with the Division of Sewerage and Drainage storm sewer work along Fairwood Avenue (See street limits on attached map).

The Division of Sewerage and Drainage currently has under design plans for Fairwood Avenue/Koebel Road Roadway and Drainage Improvements. The Transportation Division wishes to include sidewalks and ADA curb ramps along Fairwood Avenue between Watkins and Koebel Road on both sides of the roadway. In addition, the following side streets will have sidewalks added in the first block from Fairwood Avenue: Evergreen Road, Fairbank Road, Benvue Drive, and the north side of Watkins Road from Fairwood Avenue to Bulen Avenue. These sidewalks are only a portion of a proposed sidewalk system that will service a number of neighboring schools. By including the sidewalks in the Division of Sewerage and Drainage plans, the Transportation Division will save design cost, construction cost, and inspection costs.

Project managers from both Divisions worked together to coordinate these two projects. This legislation authorizes the Transportation Division to reimburse the Division of Sewerage and Drainage in the amount of $130,000.00 for the design of these sidewalks.

Fiscal Impact: The Transportation Division budgeted $60,000 in Pedestrian Safety Improvements for this reimbursement to Sewerage & Drainage. This ordinance authorizes a $130,000 expenditure. The additional monies will come from other Pedestrian Safety Improvements.

Emergency action is requested to ensure the timely coordination and reimbursement of the design work between the Transportation Division and the Division of Sewerage and Drainage.
