Body
PREAMBLE
The City is proposing to reconstruct E. Johnson St. (Baldwin St to First St) in 2019. The City applied for Federal Funds in the Surface Transportation Program Fund and the project received approval for 50% Federal funding of Construction.
The project will be constructed under a contract let by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) and a project Agreement with WisDOT will be required for funding, oversight and construction. The proposed project is planned for construction in the year 2019. The existing pavement is in poor condition and in need of reconstruction. The construction cost of the improvement will be financed with 50 percent Federal/State funds and 50 percent local funds. The design cost will be funded with 100% local funds. The design costs include State review services to oversee the development of plans and specifications for the project.
The agreement with the State of Wisconsin Department of Transportation for construction cost sharing defines the terms under which the City is awarded Federal funds and the agreement requires that the City indemnify the State of Wisconsin Department of Transportation. City APM 1-1 requires Common Council Approval whenever the City indemnifies another party.
The proposed indemnification language has been reviewed by the City's Risk Manager. The City's risk exposure is increased by this clause, but the exposure is covered by the City's insurance policies, subject to their terms and conditions.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Mayor and City Clerk are hereby authorized to execute and agreement with the State of Wisconsin Department of Transportation for state review services for preliminary engineering for E. Johnson St. (Baldwin St to First St), and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Common Council approves indemnification of the State of Wisconsin Department of Transportation as set forth in the agreement in order to use federal funds for the improvement of E. Johnson St. (Baldwin St to First St.).
