Title
Resolution authorizing the Commissioner of Public Works to execute change orders to Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District green infrastructure grant funding agreements for projects at various locations in the City of Milwaukee.
Analysis
This resolution authorizes the Department of Public Works, Infrastructure Services Division, to execute change orders to the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District green infrastructure grant funding agreements G98015P06 and G98005P145 for projects at various locations throughout the City of Milwaukee. The change orders are necessary because the scope of the projects has changed and funds are being reallocated between grant funding sources to cover project costs.
Body
Whereas, Common Council File No. 231122 authorized the City to enter into a Green Infrastructure Funding Agreement (G98015P06) with the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District (MMSD) to accept and fund a grant to construct a Green Parking Lot at 1002 West Maple Street in the City of Milwaukee; and
Whereas, Common Council File No. 231814 authorized the City to enter into a Green Solutions Funding Agreement (G98005P145) with the MMSD to accept and fund a grant to construct Green Alleys at various locations in the City of Milwaukee; and
Whereas, The construction of the Green Parking Lot project is no longer being pursued by the Department of Public Works and grant funding, which expires at the end of 2025, is no longer needed for this project and can be reallocated to other green infrastructure projects, namely the Green Alleys project; and
Whereas, The MMSD has prepared change orders amending the previously mentioned funding agreements to transfer scope from funding agreement G98015P06 to funding agreement G98005P145 allowing a maximum reimbursement amount of $295,000 in grantor funds to be used to construct Green Alleys instead of a Green Parking Lot; and
Whereas, As part of said change orders, the funding agreement G98005P145 will be amended to reduce the grant funds by a similar amount ($295,000), with said funds being returned to the City’s Green Solutions funding balance which will be available to construct future green infrastructure projects within the City; and
Resolved, That the Commissioner of Public Works is authorized to accept and execute change orders to the MMSD Green Infrastructure Funding and Green Solutions Funding agreements in accordance with Milwaukee Code of Ordinances 304-81, and to execute the change orders in the forms submitted to this file, or in substantial conformity thereto; and, be it
Further Resolved, That upon approval of the change orders to said Agreements, the City Comptroller is authorized to create within the Capital Grant and Aid Projects Fund the appropriate Project/Grant Chartfield Value for the project, modify the existing Project/Grant Chartfield Value and transfer to any of these accounts the amount required under the agreement and City accounting policy, but not to exceed a ten percent increase of the total amounts reserved for the grantor’s share and local share or $5,000, whichever is greater, as follows:

Project/Grant SM320240400 SM320250000
Fund 0491 0491
Organization 2110 2110
Program 0001 0001
Change ($295,000.00) $295,000.00
Amount $351,000.00 $295,000.00
; and, be it
Further Resolved, That these funds are appropriated to the Department of Public Works, which is authorized to expend from the amount budgeted for specific purposes as indicated in the grant budgets and incur costs consistent with the award date; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Commissioner of Public Works shall have the authority to authorize transfers within the project budget so long as the amount expended for any purpose shall not exceed the amount authorized by the budget by 10% and such transfers are in accordance with grantor regulations; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Commissioner of Public Works, on behalf of the City of Milwaukee, is authorized to enter into subcontracts (and leases) as detailed in the project budget and in accordance with City purchasing procedures and grant and aid guidelines for awarding such contracts.
