INFORMATION: A culvert replacement has been recommended for Broad Street since 2014. The preliminary engineering for this project is programmed in the FY 19/20 operating budget, per a project ordinance on June 18, 2019. The project ordinance authorized $20k in funding for the preliminary engineering work. Qualifications and quotes from firms have been reviewed by staff, and have resulted in a recommendation to award a contract to Sungate Design. A modification of the project ordinance to allocate an additional $30k for the preliminary engineering work is recommended. A second construction phase will be needed after the preliminary engineering work.
FISCAL & STAFF IMPACT: A total of $50k is needed for the preliminary engineering work. Staff time for project coordination/oversight will also be needed.
RECOMMENDATION:r Staff recommends that the Board adopt the resolution (Attachment A) appropriating an additional $30k for the preliminary engineering from the Stormwater Enterprise Fund.
