Resolution approving additional funding for the engineering review of projects to be funded by the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act as non-assessable public improvements at various locations and appropriating funds for these purposes, with additional City engineering cost estimated to be $134,000 for a total estimated cost of these projects being $4,745,000.
Analysis
This resolution authorizes additional funding for the engineering review of said public improvements. The additional City share for engineering review of these projects is estimated to be $134,000 with the total cost estimated to be $4,745,000.
Body
Whereas, Additional monies became available under Phase 1 of the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act (ARRA) for local paving projects with 100 percent funding for construction due to other municipalities not being able to meet deadlines for design; and
Whereas, The City would like to take full advantage of the ARRA funding by having shelf-ready projects available to utilize any extra ARRA funding; and
Whereas, Several projects were approved by the State as eligible for ARRA funding but did not get selected with the monies available to the City under Phase 1 of ARRA; and
Whereas, In order for the city to take advantage of any extra ARRA funding, designs would have to be undertaken at 100 percent city cost and would have to meet current State mandated deadlines; and
Whereas, It is in the public’s interest to design and construct with City and ARRA funding the following improvements:
