Analysis
This resolution authorizes and directs the Commissioner of Public Works to execute a project agreement with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation for programming and construction of the improvement of West Loomis Road (STH 36) from South 51st Street to West Fardale Avenue under the State Trunk Highway Program. Approval of the agreement with the WISDOT will enable the project to be undertaken using 100 percent Federal and/or State Aid for preliminary engineering costs and approximately 99 percent Federal and/or State Aid for construction costs. The estimated cost of the project is $11,000,000 which the City of Milwaukee’s construction share is estimated to be $75,000 and approval for construction will be in a future resolution. City of Milwaukee engineering costs for plan review, which will be funded 100 percent by the City of Milwaukee, is estimated to be $15,000.
