Title
Resolution to revise the Local Force Contract with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation relative to increased cost participation for construction of street lighting in construction with the Mitchell Interchange Reconstruction, with an increase of $11,971.11 or 8.41% for a new total estimated cost of $154,302.62, of which 100% is State funded.
Analysis
This resolution authorizes change orders to a funding agreement previously authorized under Common Council File Number 081491 with The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WISDOT) to install interim street lighting facilities, to install permanent street lighting facilities and remove interim street lighting facilities necessitated by the reconstruction of the Mitchell Interchange and IH 94 (N/S) Freeway. Due to the expansion of the scope by WISDOT to include the modification of East Layton Avenue from South Howell Avenue to a point east for traffic mitigation purposes as part of phase one of the Mitchell Interchange reconstruction, the estimated costs for street lighting improvements have risen $11,971.11 or 8.41% for a new total of $154,302.62, 100% grantor funds.
Body
Whereas, The Common Council has previously approved File Number 081491, which authorized the Commissioner of Public Works and the Comptroller to enter into a funding agreement with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WISDOT) for construction of street lighting improvements on West College Avenue from South 20th Street to South 13th Street, the intersection of South 6th Street and West Bolivar Avenue and the East side of South 27th Street from West Layton Avenue to West Bottsford Avenue and adjoining streets in conjunction with Mitchell Interchange reconstruction; and
Whereas, The scope of the project has been expanded by WISDOT, to include traffic mitigation alterations to East Layton Avenue from South Howell Avenue to a point east as part of Phase 1; and
Whereas, The revised estimated cost of street lighting work associated with this project now is $154,302.62 , an increase of $11,971.11 or 8.41% over the original estimated cost of $142,331.51, for the installation of interim lighting, the installation of permanent lighting improvements and the removal of the interim lighting associated with this additional work; and
Whereas, Work will be funded through change orders to the original Local Force Account Contract with WISDOT; and
Whereas, One hundred percent of the participating project cost for the change order, or $11,971.11, is reimbursable from the WISDOT; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that the Commissioner of Public Works and the Comptroller are authorized to issue change orders to the original contract with WISDOT for the installation of interim lighting, the installation of permanent lighting improvements and the removal of the interim lighting in the area construction of street lighting improvements on to a point east for traffic mitigation purposes in conjunction with the Mitchell Interchange reconstruction; and, be it
Further Resolved, That upon approval of this contract, the Commissioner of Public Works is directed to install interim lighting, permanent lighting improvements and the removal of the interim lighting for work in conjunction with the Mitchell Interchange reconstruction; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the City Comptroller is hereby authorized to transfer the additional funds for these contract change orders as required under the agreement and City accounting policy, but not to exceed a ten percent increase of the total amounts reserved for the grantor’s share and local share or $5,000, whichever is greater as follows:
