Explanation
The Public Service Department, Transportation Division, awarded several street resurfacing contracts in 2005 that totaled in excess of $10,000,000.00. Similar activity is anticipated for 2006. This ordinance authorizes the expenditure of up to $250,000.00 for construction inspection for future Americans with Disability Act (ADA)-compliant Ramp Installation and Resurfacing capital improvement projects. Pre-engineering inspection activity will be undertaken by the Transportation Division beginning in January 2006 to assist in the generation of bid specifications prior to the projects being advertised for formal competitive bids later in the year. This activity has the added bonus of efficiently utilizing construction inspection labor during a period of the year that traditionally experiences reduced inspection activity due to adverse weather. These pre-engineering and inspection costs can be capitalized; this creates income for the Development Services Fund that contributes to the latter's viability. Similar legislation, Ordinance 2223-2003 passed by City Council on November 10, 2003, authorized a $100,000.00 expenditure for the 2004 resurfacing program and Ordinance 2253-2004 passed March 21, 2005, authorized a $200,000.00 expenditure for the 2005 resurfacing program.

Fiscal Impact: The Transportation Division budgeted $250,000.00 in the 2005 Capital Improvements Budget within the 1995, 1999 Voted Streets and Highways Fund in the Resurfacing project. Actual funds will be available from the Fall 2005 bond sale. This ordinance authorizes an expenditure of $250,000.00.
