Title
Substitute resolution authorizing the proper city officials to execute utility agreements with the State of Wisconsin Department of Transportation for work on City of Milwaukee facilities in conjunction with the IH-94 freeway contract work from North 25th Street/St. Paul Avenue to North 26th Street.
Analysis
This substitute resolution approves the two (2) agreements entitled “Agreement for Payment for Relocation or Replacement of Municipal Utility Facilities Located on Public Held Land Required by Freeway Construction”, one each for Milwaukee Water Works and Communications and Electrical Services, and authorizes the Commissioner of Public Works to execute same on behalf of the City of Milwaukee. These agreements all relate to utility work on city facilities necessitated by the rehabilitation of the IH-94 freeway work from North 25th Street/St. Paul Avenue to North 26th Street being undertaken by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation in 2006. These agreements provide generally for payment of 90 percent of the costs of all work on city facilities necessitated by the freeway rehabilitation project in accord with Wisconsin State Statute 84.295(4m). This substitute resolution also authorizes the Commissioner of Public Works to prepare and/or review plans and estimates for the IH-94 freeway utility work as necessary to accomplish the project. This substitute resolution also authorizes the Comptroller to establish accounts as necessary to track the work and to make periodic payments to the State of Wisconsin for work undertaken on this project as approved by the City Engineer.
