BACKGROUND:
At the July 1, 2014 Council Meeting, the Mayor and City Council approved a joint agreement with IDOT to pay a consulting engineer for Phase I Engineering Services for the Abe Street Bridge over Spring Creek Improvement Project. This joint agreement enabled this project to utilize federal funds through the Local Bridge Formula Program (LBF) to offset a portion of the City’s contribution to the project. The current allotment of funds available to pay for prime consultant services has been fully expended under the aforementioned joint agreement. Additional man hours are necessary to complete Phase 1 Engineering, however IDOT has confirmed that there are no opportunities for additional federal participation, and it has determined that additional costs to complete Phase 1 Engineering must be covered by the City under a separate agreement.
The Public Service Committee will review this matter.
CONCLUSION:
An agreement to provide the necessary additional Phase 1 Engineering services, in the amount of $38,782.00, has been prepared by the consultant.
Funds will be charged to the Motor Fuel Tax Fund / Abe Street over Spring Creek - Phase 1 Engineering (Org 20090270, Object 557200, $38,782.00).
RECOMMENDATION:
recommendation
