Fiscal Note
The proposed resolution approves the processes by which the public art for the State Street Campus Garage project is chosen and approved. Funding for the public art is calculated as an additional 1% of the eligible project budget as called for in the Percent for Art ordinance (MGO 4.30). Construction estimates in the schematic design phase are $47,706,876; an additional 1% for art is $477,069.
The 2023 Capital Budget includes $48.0m for the State Street Campus Garage Replacement project (Munis project 14145) supported by $29.5m in Non-General Fund GO Borrowing and $18.5m in Parking Reserves. The 2024 Executive Capital Budget proposes $12.5m in TIF-supported GO Borrowing within the Parking Utility CIP to further support construction costs of the project. The 2020 Capital Budget included $200,000 in General Fund GO Borrowing within the Transportation Department CIP to support an Inter-City Intermodal Bus Terminal (Munis project 12775). No additional City appropriation is required with approval of the proposed resolution.
