Title
Resolution authorizing the Commissioner of Public Works to execute a Cost Sharing Agreement with the City of Greenfield for the planned improvement of South 60th Street from West Morgan Avenue to West Cold Spring Road.
Analysis
This resolution authorizes the Commissioner of Public Works to execute a Cost Sharing Agreement with the City of Greenfield for the local share of construction costs associated with the rehabilitation of South 60th Street from West Morgan Avenue to West Cold Spring Road. The City of Milwaukee has entered into an agreement with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation for rehabilitation of the subject roadway with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation funding 80 percent of the project costs. The City of Milwaukee has incorporated segments of the roadway that lie within Greenfield’s municipal boundaries into the construction project to complete the rehabilitation of the entire roadway between West Morgan Avenue and West Cold Spring Road. A separate resolution will transfer Greenfield’s construction dollars to a grantor reimbursable subaccount to fund Greenfield’s share of the construction costs.
