Title
Substitute resolution authorizing the Commissioner of Public Works to prepare a Request For Quote with the purpose to receive proposals from consultants who can design a hanging conduit system for each of the six bridges that are being reconstructed as part of the Marquette Interchange Project in the 4th, 6th, and 15th Aldermanic Districts.
Analysis
As part of the Marquette Interchange Project, six bridges over IH-43 are proposed to be reconstructed.  These bridges are located at West Walnut Street, West Winnebago Street, West Highland Avenue, West State Street, West Wells Street, and West Wisconsin Avenue.  The City presently uses these bridges to support City conduit over IH-43, thus providing vital City communication links in this area.  Before these bridges can be removed and reconstructed, the City's cabling system will be re-routed until the bridges can be reconstructed and a new hanging conduit system installed.  The hanging conduit system will be installed by the bridge contractor; however, the City is responsible for providing the design.  The City has no real experience in this type of design; therefore, it is desirable to hire a qualified consultant to undertake the design.  By authorizing the Commissioner of Public Works to prepare a Request For Quote, qualified consultants will present their experience and qualifications to undertake this design.  Provided that a qualified consultant can be chosen from the Request For Quote, this resolution also authorizes the Commissioner of Public Works to enter into a contract with the qualified consultant to undertake this work.  This work is necessary due to the Marquette Interchange Project, and as such, the State's share of cost of this work will be 90% and the City's share will be 10%.  This resolution also authorizes the Commissioner of Public Works to enter into a municipal utility agreement with the State obligated to reimburse the City for their share.
Body
Whereas, As part of the Marquette Interchange Project, six bridges will be reconstructed and these bridges currently support City conduit packages over the IH-43 Freeway; and
 
Whereas, These conduit packages carry cable and fiber systems that are vital to the City's communication network; and
 
Whereas, A hanging conduit system will be constructed on each of the following six reconstructed bridges:
 
West Walnut Street
West Winnebago Street
West Highland Avenue
West State Street
West Wells Street
West Wisconsin Avenue
 
; and
 
Whereas, The Department of Public Works does not have the expertise to design these hanging conduit systems; and
 
Whereas, The State of Wisconsin (State) will reimburse the City for 90% of the cost to undertake the design and a municipal utility agreement will need to be executed between the City and the State to facilitate the reimbursement; now, therefore, be it
 
Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that the Commissioner of Public Works is authorized and directed to prepare a Request For Quote for the purpose of receiving proposals from qualified consultants with experience in designing hanging conduit systems for bridges; and, be it
 
Further Resolved, That the Commissioner of Public Works is authorized and directed to enter into a contract with the qualified consultant; and, be it
 
Further Resolved, That the Commissioner of Public Works is authorized and directed to enter into a municipal utility agreement between the City and the State of Wisconsin (State) to obligate the State to reimburse the City 90% of the cost to undertake this work; and, be it
 
Further Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee that the City Comptroller is hereby authorized to create within the Capitol Improvement Fund, Grant and Aid Projects, the necessary Project/Grant Chartfield Values for engineering to undertake the design for the hanging conduit systems on the six bridges that are proposed to be reconstructed as part of the Marquette Interchange Project and transfer to any of these accounts the amounts required under the grant agreement and City Accounting Policy, but not to exceed 10% increase of the total amounts reserved for the grantor's share or local share of $5,000, whichever is greater as follows:
