ECONOMIC / ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: The rehabilitation of the bridge is more cost effective than a full replacement. This fix will stabilize the bridge and prevent further damage to the bridge deck.
FISCAL IMPACT: This ordinance requires an expenditure of up to $220,320.00 within the Sanitary Sewer General Obligation Fund 6109. An amendment to the 2020 Capital Improvement Budget is necessary to align the authority with the expenditure.
