SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
Every year, the Division of Streets, Bridges & Harbor (SBH) includes in its annual CIP fund request a line item for Matches and Planning. The above mentioned amount is remaining in the 2019 CIP appropriation to SBH that has not yet been expended. The reason for the delay in expenditure has to do with two delays in major bridge projects; Marengo and Secor over Ottawa. Marengo has since resumed construction and will be complete later this year and is now fully funded. Secor over Ottawa has received an additional grant and is sufficiently funded. That makes the remaining $292,641.43 available for the completion of the Downtown Seawall Project (approximately $200,000 needed), completion of Levee Improvements (approximately $50,000 needed), as well as to plan for future projects such as Kuhlman Drive over NSRR.
