Authorizing the expenditure of an amount not to exceed $500,000 from the Capital Improvement Fund for the Road & Bridge Maintenance Matches and Planning Program; authorizing the mayor to prepare plans and specifications, acquire required rights-of-way as appropriate, accept bids and award contracts for Road & Bridge Maintenance Matches and Planning improvement projects within the Division of Road & Bridge Maintenance; and declaring an emergency.
Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
Every year, the Division of Road & Bridge Maintenance (formerly Streets, Bridges & Harbor) includes in its annual CIP fund request a line item for Matches and Planning. This line item represents the funding that is needed in order to supply match amounts for outside grants and loans the Division has anticipated and secured, as well as to plan for future projects with design, testing and environmental work. Some of these projects include, but are not limited to, Kuhlman Drive over NSRR, Berdan over NSRR, Miami Street Embankment, and Summit Street Embankment. This funding is included in the 2022 - 2026 CIP Plan appropriated under Ord. 90-22. It is imperative that the Division of Road & Bridge Maintenance’s Matches and Planning Program be authorized immediately as there are strict deadlines for planning, design, environmental, bid, and construction associated with each grant fund source.
