Title
Substitute resolution approving an Intergovernmental Cooperation Agreement for the Hawthorn Glen Trail Rehabilitation Project between the City and the Milwaukee Board of School Directors.
Analysis
This resolution approves an Intergovernmental Cooperation Agreement for the Hawthorn Glen Trail Rehabilitation Project between the City and Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS).
The agreement ensures this project will be completed in an orderly and fiscally responsible manner by stipulating that MPS forward $50,000 to the City before work commences. This $50,000 will be matched by Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) grant proceeds to let $100,000 in base contracts to completely rebuild a collapsed retaining wall and make basic improvements.
The agreement further stipulates MPS’s $90,000 non-cash contributions for this project be pre-approved by the DNR before contracts for additional and alternate project improvements funded by the remaining $90,000 of DNR grant proceeds are let.
Body
Whereas, The City owns the land for the Hawthorn Glen Outdoor Education and Nature Center, and the City and Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS) have worked collaboratively to develop and maintain this center since 1955; and
Whereas, The Department of Public Works (DPW) and MPS have planned a $280,000 Hawthorn Glen Trail Rehabilitation Project to improve the center by rebuilding a collapsed retaining wall, repairing some nature trails and adding new nature trails; and
Whereas, DPW has received a grant of $140,000 from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) per File #091569, adopted by the Common Council on April 13, 2010, which the City will sub-grant to MPS to fund this project, and MPS has agreed, as sub-grantee, to provide $50,000 in cash and $90,000 in non-cash contributions for the project; and
Whereas, The City Attorney has drafted an Intergovernmental Cooperation Agreement for the Hawthorn Glen Trail Rehabilitation Project between the City and the Milwaukee Board of School Directors to ensure this project is completed in an orderly and fiscally responsible manner stipulating the following:
1. MPS will forward $50,000 in cash to the City for this project upon approval.
2. DPW will let base contracts for the project of not more than $100,000 representing MPS’s $50,000 cash contribution matched by $50,000 from the City’s DNR grant to rebuild the collapsed retaining wall and make other repairs and improvements.
3. The remaining $90,000 of the City’s DNR grant will be indentified by DPW as additional and alternate bid items, and DPW will not let contracts or proceed with these bid items until MPS’s matching non-cash contributions are forthcoming and approved by the DNR.
4. MPS’s $90,000 in non-cash contributions to this project must be documented and structured in accordance with DNR grant guidelines and requirements.
; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that the Intergovernmental Cooperation Agreement attached to this file for the Hawthorn Glen Trail Rehabilitation Project between the City and the Milwaukee Board of School Directors is approved; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the proper City officers are authorized to execute this agreement with the Milwaukee Board of School Directors.
