The total estimated cost of the entire project is $414,114.00, with a grantor share of $372,702.00 and a City share of $41,412.00.
Body
Whereas, The Common Council has previously approved File Number 100735, which authorized the Commissioner of Public Works and the Comptroller to enter into a funding agreement with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WISDOT) for the installation of traffic signal and sign improvements on South 27th Street from a point north of West Kinnickinnic River Parkway to a point north of West Howard Avenue under the 2011 Highway Safety Improvement Program; and
Whereas, Compliance with changes to the 2009 MUTCD has increased the cost of the project by requiring the relocation of existing signal equipment and the installation of additional overhead mast arm signals not accounted for in funding approved under Common Council File Number 100735; and
Whereas, The revised estimate cost is $144,457.25, an increase of $31,043.95, or 27.4% over the original estimated cost of $113,413.30 for the installation of traffic signal and sign improvements; and
Whereas, Ninety percent of the participating project cost, or an increase of $27,939.55 is reimbursable from WISDOT and should be earmarked for this project in the 2010 Capital Grant and Aids Projects Fund Project/Grant Number SP032100100; and
Whereas, Ten percent of the participating project cost, or an increase of $3,104.40 is included in the Division’s 2010 Capital Purpose Project/Grant Number ST320100000; and
Whereas, The increased costs for this project are greater than ten percent over the amount previously authorized, which requires further approval by the Common Council; and
Whereas, The State cannot proceed with any project cost overruns and/or changes in scope of more than 5% without prior Department of Public Works approval; and
Whereas, The Department of Public Works shall notify the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee at the next scheduled meeting of any such project cost overruns and/or changes in scope approved by the Department of Public Works; and
Whereas, The Common Council of the City of Milwaukee recognizes that the City may be 100% liable for any such project cost overruns and/or changes in scope as approved by the Department of Public Works; and
Whereas, The Common Council of the City of Milwaukee recognizes that the City may be liable for any costs incurred by the State should the City decide to withdraw from the project; 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 amend a funding agreement with WISDOT for the installation of traffic control improvements on South 27th Street from a point north of West Kinnickinnic River Parkway to a point north of West Howard Avenue under a Highway Safety Improvement Program project with unit prices based on a predetermined estimate prepared under the Federal/State aided highway program, a copy of which is attached to this resolution, and is incorporated into this resolution as though set forth in full; and, be it
Further Resolved, That upon approval of this contract, the Commissioner of Public Works is directed to install and modify traffic control signals and signs at the intersections on South 27th Street at West Kinnickinnic River Parkway, West Oklahoma Avenue, West Ohio Avenue, West Morgan Avenue, and West Loomis Road; and, be it
Further Resolved, That upon approval of this contract, the City comptroller is hereby authorized to create within the Capital Grant and Aid Projects Fund the appropriate Project/Grant Chartfield Value for this project; and transfer to these accounts the amount 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:
