Analysis
This resolution authorizes the Commissioner of Public Works to execute a Revised Project Agreement with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WISDOT) associated with the bridge rehabilitation of the North Teutonia Avenue Bridge over West Silver Spring Drive. The Revised Project Agreement provides for 80 percent Federal/State aid and 20 percent local cost sharing for construction costs for the project. The total estimated construction costs for the project are $1,500,000 of which $300,000 is the City of Milwaukee’s share and $1,200,000 is the grantor share.
Body
Whereas, The Common Council of the City of Milwaukee adopted Resolution File Number 071479 authorizing and directing the Commissioner of Public Works to execute an agreement with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WISDOT) for bridge rehabilitation of the North Teutonia Avenue Bridge over West Silver Spring Drive with 80 percent Federal and/or State aid under the Local Bridge Replacement Program; and
Whereas, The construction costs for the bridge rehabilitation were within estimate but the accompanying Hazard Elimination Safety (HES) improvement to the interchange was under funded; and
Whereas, The HES project federal funding was capped resulting in construction costs in excess of this amount to be the responsibility of the City of Milwaukee; and
Whereas, The WISDOT has agreed the eligible HES construction costs could be included under the Local Bridge Replacement Program, which would allow 80 percent federal/state funding participation; and
Whereas, The WISDOT has submitted a Revised Project Agreement that includes additional funding for the construction associated with the HES and bridge rehabilitation for City execution; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that the Commissioner of Public Works is hereby authorized to execute the Revised Project Agreement updating and revising the construction costs associated with the bridge rehabilitation of the North Teutonia Avenue Bridge over West Silver Spring Drive with 80 percent Federal and/or State aid under the Local Bridge Replacement Program, a copy of which is attached to Common Council File Number 080843 and incorporated in this resolution as though set forth therein in full.
