Summary:
The City desires to construct roadway, sidewalk and drainage system improvements along Trotter Road from 8th Avenue Southwest to Hillsdale Avenue. The County is required to relocate all utilities in conflict with the construction area and shall pay the City an amount not to exceed $525,000.00 for the City’s contractor to relocate the County’s utility facilities. Once construction drawings and specifications are approved by both parties, the City will hire a private contractor to construct the project. Both the City and the County will provide construction management representation.
Background Information:
The County owns and operates potable water main, service connections and fire hydrants and appurtenances that service the citizens living within the construction area.
This agreement will result in a cost savings to the County by reducing cost of mobilization, maintenance of traffic, site restoration and having one contractor on-site to coordinate the timing of all work. Utilizing the same contractor as the City results in a cost savings and project administration efficiencies for all stakeholders.
Fiscal Impact:
The total construction cost to the County for the utilities relocation is not to exceed $525,000.00.
Funding for this project is budgeted in the Water Enterprise Fund.
