Explanation

Background: This legislation authorizes the Public Service Director to modify and increase a Reimbursement Agreement established in ordinance 1318-2006 and modified and increased in ordinance 0773-2007 with Empire Ventures/6200 E. Broad Street, LLC ("Continental"). The East Broad Street Improvement project is a phased project with funding coming from the City and five private entities. The list of projects was developed as a "Pay As You Grow" area related to the redevelopment of the Lucent site by Mt. Carmel. $110,000.00 is needed for the next phase of the detailed design. The formal competitive bidding requirements of Chapter 329 of the City Code were waived in previous ordinances and are requested to be waived for this additional funding for the procurement of final engineering services pursuant to this Reimbursement Agreement.

Fiscal Impact: Funds for this project are budgeted and available within the 2007 C.I.B. from the 1995, 1999, 2004 Voted Streets and Highways Fund.

Emergency action is requested so that this project can proceed in a timely manner and keep commitments made to the local community. Final Engineering was partially funded and in progress. It is necessary to set up these additional funds to fund the remaining Final Engineering.
