Explanation
1. BACKGROUND:
A. Need. This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to reimburse the Division of Transportation for waterline and sanitary sewer design services incurred by the Department of Public Service on behalf of the Division of Water and Division of Sewerage and Drainage, in connection with the Neighborhood Commercial Revitalization Project (NCR-2). This project is a joint venture between the Departments of Public Service and Public Utilities.
By using the same design engineering firm for the roadway, water line and sanitary sewer separation outfall work, the City was able to avoid considerable expense and disruption to the neighborhood by coordinating all work into one construction contract. The exact amount of the additional design services could not be accurately defined at the onset of this effort. Significant roadway and utility coordination was required by the design engineer to prepare a phasing plan for the project area. The amount reimbursable, $201,885.06, was paid by Transportation using contingency funds.
B. Emergency Designation: Emergency designation is not requested for this ordinance.
2. FISCAL IMPACT: There is sufficient funding within the Water Works Enlargement Voted Bonds Fund. A transfer within the Sanitary Sewer Revenue Bonds Fund and amendment to the 2008 Capital Improvements Budget is needed to provide sufficient sanitary monies and authority for the projects expenditure.
