Explanation
1. BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to reimburse the Department of Public Service for additional design work associated with the roadway project on Alum Creek Drive. The roadway project was to improve Alum Creek Drive from Williams Road to Refugee Road. As a result, the roadway was lowered, requiring the existing 16-inch water main to be replaced. The Water Distribution Engineering Section required this proposed main to be a 30-inch main due to future needs of the water distribution system. This increase in diameter required additional design work by the consultant, Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. The Department of Public Utilities has agreed to reimburse $6,111.00 to the Department of Public Service for this increased design fee.
2. EMERGENCY DESIGNATION
Emergency action is requested in order to reimburse the Department of Public Service for work that has been completed.
3. FISCAL IMPACT: A transfer of funds within the Water Build America Bonds Fund will be necessary, as well as an amendment to the 2011 Capital Improvements Budget.
