Resolution authorizing and directing the Commissioner of Public Works to execute a Cost Sharing Agreement with the City of St. Francis for the planned improvement of South Clement Avenue from South Whitnall Avenue to East Howard Avenue.
Analysis
This resolution authorizes and directs the Commissioner of Public Works to execute a Cost Sharing Agreement with the City of St. Francis for the local share of engineering and construction costs associated with the rehabilitation of South Clement Avenue from South Whitnall Avenue to East Howard Avenue. The City of Milwaukee has entered into an agreement with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WISDOT) for rehabilitation of the subject roadway with the WISDOT funding 80 percent of the project costs. The City of St. Francis has requested, and we have agreed, to incorporate the segments of the roadway that lie within their municipal boundaries into our construction project. This resolution also authorizes the City Comptroller to establish the necessary account for the City of St. Francis’ share of the preliminary engineering costs which requires a reallocation of City and Grant funds that were established under Common Council Resolution File Number 040400. The total cost of the project remains the same.
