Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
This legislation allows the Department of Public Utilities to reimburse the Department of Public Service for work that Public Service performed on behalf of Public Utilities on Idlewild Drive and Manor Drive as part of a Department of Public Service resurfacing project.
Ordinance 1250-2011 authorized the Department of Public Utilities to enter into contract for the Idlewild Drive Storm Sewer project, which included work on Idlewild Drive and Manor Drive. The scope of work on Idlewild Drive and Manor Drive included repaving half of the roadway -- only the half impacted by DPU’s underground work. The Department of Public Service’s Resurfacing - Resurfacing 2013 Project 2 contract included streets in the area of Idlewild Drive and Manor Drive. Because of the proximity of DPS’ contractor, the two agencies determined that it would be cost effective to have DPS’ contractor resurface each entire street, not just half of each street.
The Department of Public Utilities agreed to reimburse the Department of Public Service once work was completed on Idlewild Drive and Manor Drive.
2. FISCAL IMPACT
A transfer of funds in the amount of $65,199.40 will be necessary within the Water Works Enlargement Voted Bonds Fund and funds in the amount of $8,554.76 are available from DPU, Division of Sewerage and Drainage in the Storm Recovery Zone Super B.A.B.s Fund. An amendment to the 2013 Capital Improvements Budget will also be required. Once the funds are available, the Department of Public Service shall submit an internal bill to the Auditor’s Office.
3. EMERGENCY DESIGNATION
Emergency action is requested in order to reimburse Public Service in a timely manner so the funds can be used for another project.
