Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
This extra funding is available due to cost savings from previous residential construction years and due to higher-than-expected tax revenues. This item is for projects that utilize 100% City of Toledo capital funds to rebuild or resurface primarily local residential streets.
Ord. 12-24 authorized the appropriation of $27 million for the 2024 General Resurfacing program. The Division of Engineering and Construction Management is requesting the appropriation of an additional $3 million from the Tax Roadway Improvement Fund bringing the 2024 program to $30 million in total.
Appropriation of these funds now will allow for timely bidding and construction to ensure all projects are completed this year.
