Body
Whereas, Preliminary Engineering activities have begun using funds in the amount of $199,820 as authorized by Common Council Resolution File Number 040400 and the roadway will be reconstructed rather than resurfaced in 2007 and therefore, the construction costs have increased from the original agreement, however no additional preliminary engineering funds are needed; and

Whereas, The revised total project cost is estimated to be $2,688,000 with the City’s share at $537,600; and
Whereas, Construction funds for the project, a single-year funded project, will be included in future resolutions; and
Whereas, The State cannot proceed with any project cost overruns and/or changes in scope of more than five percent without prior Department of Public Works (DPW) approval; and
Whereas, The DPW shall notify the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee at the next scheduled meeting of any such project cost overruns and/or changes in scope approved by the DPW; and
Whereas, The Common Council of the City of Milwaukee recognizes that the City may be 100 percent liable for any such project cost overruns and/or changes in scope as approved by the DPW; and
Whereas, The Common Council of the City of Milwaukee recognizes that the City may be liable for any costs incurred by the State should the City decide to withdraw from the project; now, therefore, be it
