Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
The Department of Public Service, Division of Design and Construction and The Department of Public Utilities recently participated in the River South Phase 1 project.
The Department of Public Service Funded the Design of this project authorized by ordinance 1317-2007, which included sewer and water line work for Public Utilities. The project is completed and engineering costs have been determined for the respective departments and it is necessary to provide reimbursement to the Department of Public Service for those costs incurred in the design of the project that were designated as costs normally funded by The Department of Public Utilities. This legislation authorizes the Department of Public Utilities to reimburse these funds to the Department of Public Service.
Work involved in the design of this project included
-Sewer line design at State and Broad Streets as required due to rerouting the waterline.
-Changes to sanitary and storm water improvements due to televising and rehabilitation of the 54" sewer line on Walnut Street and rehabilitation of the sewer line on Ludlow Street.
-Street lighting study, including Front Street from Town to Mound Streets, to illustrate the overall photometrics.
-Change the traffic signals at the corner of State and Front Streets from an upgrade to total replacement.
-This modification will also allow Public Utilities to pay for DPU-needed record drawings.
This additional work overlapped the RiverSouth Phase 1 and Phase 2 areas and was in the consultant's proposal for the Phase 2 design contract. It was later decided that this work would be paid as a modification to the Phase 1 design contract.
The limits of this project include Front Street between Broad and Rich Streets, Ludlow and Wall Streets between Town and Rich Streets, and Rich Street between Ludlow and Wall Streets.
