Title
Resolution to revise the Local Force Account Contract with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation relative to the cost participation of installing interim lighting, the installation of permanent lighting improvements and the removal of the interim lighting in the area bounded by North 13th Street to North Plankinton Avenue and West St. Paul Avenue to West Wells Street and adjoining streets in conjunction with Marquette Interchange reconstruction with an increase of $133,396.36 or 23.49% for a new total of $567,795.40, with 100% grantor funds.
Analysis
This resolution authorizes the Commissioner of Public Works and Comptroller to amend the
agreement previously authorized by Common Council File number 050363, which authorized the Commissioner of Public Works and the Comptroller to enter into a funding agreement with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WISDOT) for installation of interim lighting, the installation of permanent lighting improvements and the removal of the interim lighting in the area bounded by North 13th Street to North Plankinton Avenue and West St. Paul Avenue to West Wells Street and adjoining streets in conjunction with Marquette Interchange reconstruction. Due to the expansion of the scope, by WISDOT to include paving of West St. Paul Avenue from North 4th Street to North 8th Street in conjunction with the Transit Station Opening as part of the Core Contract, the estimated costs for the street lighting improvements have risen $133,396.36 or 23.49% for a new total of $567,795.40, 100% grantor funds.
