Title
Resolution authorizing the Commissioner of Public Works to execute an Amendment to the Intergovernmental Cooperation Agreement between the City of Milwaukee and the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District for the purposes of delegating responsibilities for the design and construction phases of the North 30th Street Corridor Phase 2 Stormwater West Basin project.
Analysis
This resolution authorizes City execution of an Amendment to the Intergovernmental Cooperation Agreement between the City of Milwaukee and the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District for the purposes of delegating responsibilities for the design and construction phases of the North 30th Street Corridor Phase 2 Stormwater West Basin project, in the 1st and 7th Aldermanic Districts, in an area around North 35th St between West Capitol Drive and West Congress Avenue and in West Capitol Drive between North 31st Street and North 35th Street.
Body
Whereas, Common Council File No 210470 authorized the City to enter into an agreement with the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District (MMSD) for the design phase of the North 30th Street Corridor Phase 2 Stormwater West Basin project; and
Whereas, Coordinated flood reduction efforts would provide better results than could be achieved by the City or by the MMSD acting separately, the City and the MMSD have entered into an Intergovernmental Cooperation Agreement (Agreement) describing the individual responsibilities of the City and the MMSD; and
Whereas, During the final design for construction of the West Basin, the parties identified constructability constraints related to the new City stormwater conveyance due to existing utilities and changes in project construction phasing due to project construction schedules; and
Whereas, As a result of these constraints the City and the MMSD have determined that the most economically feasible way to construct a portion of the new City stormwater conveyance culvert would be for the MMSD to include this work in their construction contract; and
Whereas, The City and the MMSD wish to Amend the Agreement to clarify the City’s responsibilities and the MMSD’s responsibilities, a copy of the Amendment is attached to this file; and
Whereas, The City agrees to reimburse the MMSD for the costs associated with this stormwater conveyance culvert which will be owned and maintained by the City; and
Whereas, The District and the City are each responsible for funding the respective improvements that each designs, constructs, operates, and maintains under this Agreement; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that the Amendment to Intergovernmental Cooperation Agreement between the City of Milwaukee and Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District delegating responsibilities for the design phase of the North 30th Street Corridor Phase 2 Stormwater West Basin project, is approved as attached to this file, or one in substantially the same form and substance as submitted; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the appropriate City officers and employees, including the Commissioner of Public Works, are hereby authorized to sign the Agreement, or one in substantially the same form and substance as submitted, and to undertake such acts as are required of the City thereunder or in furtherance thereof, to effectuate the Agreement and this resolution, including signing of deeds and easements contemplated and required by the Agreement; and, be it
Further Resolved, That any expenditure of City funds that may be necessary as a result of the City signing the Agreement will be brought forth for Common Council consideration and approval.
