Whereas, The total estimated cost of this project is $149,613.57 for the installation of permanent street lighting; and
Whereas, One hundred percent of the participating project cost, or $149,613.57, is reimbursable from the Wisconsin Department of Transportation, and this amount is not included in Division accounts, and should be earmarked for this project in the 2007 Capital Grant and Aids Projects Fund Project/Grant Number SP032070100; and
Whereas, WISDOT cannot proceed with any project cost overruns and/or changes in scope of more than five percent without prior Department of Public Works approval; and

Whereas, The Common Council of the City of Milwaukee recognizes that the City may be 100% liable for any such project cost overruns and/or changes in scope as approved by the Department of Public Works; and
Whereas, The Common Council of the City of Milwaukee recognizes that the City may be liable for any costs incurred by the WISDOT should the City decide to withdraw from the project; now, therefore, be it
