Explanation


BACKGROUND: This ordinance authorizes the reimbursement to the Division of Electricity for inspection fees paid from the division's operating fund for Leawood Gardens and Willis Park Street Lighting. This legislation also amends the 2004 Capital Improvements Budget to reflect the additional authority made available from the cancellation of the balance of the construction contract for the Leawood Gardens and Willis Park Street Lighting project.

Ordinance 1599-2003, passed July 14, 2003, authorized a contract with U.S. Utility Contractor Co., Inc. to install a street lighting system in the Leawood Gardens and Willis Park area. The ordinance authorized the expenditure of $307,522.97 which included the contract amount of $277,337.97 and the estimated construction inspection costs of $30,185.00 to be paid the Transportation Division. Due to an unexpected delay in the project, the inspection fees exceeded the amount that had been encumbered on EA032801-002. After the encumbered funds were expended, invoices for inspection fees submitted to the Auditor were then taken directly from the division's operating fund through journal entries.

FISCAL IMPACT: There are sufficient funds in the Voted 1995 and 1999 Street Lighting and Electricity Distribution Improvements Fund 553 for this reimbursement. The final construction cost for the project was less than the contracted amount and the remaining balance was cancelled, thereby leaving funds available in the project. An amendment to the 2004 CIB is necessary to reflect the additional funds made available by the cancellation.
