Title
Approving plans and specifications and authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to enter into agreements with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation for the construction of East Washington Avenue Segment Three (Second Street to Marquette Street) (6th, 12th, & 15th ADs)
Body
PREAMBLE
The City of Madison and the Wisconsin Department of Transportation have prepared the plans for the reconstruction of East Washington Avenue Segment Three. The reconstruction of East Washington Avenue Segment Three includes reconstructing East Washington Avenue from Third Street to STH 30, reconstructing Milwaukee Street at the intersection with East Washington Ave, constructing a pedestrian overpass at Marquette Street, constructing the portion of the Starkweather Creek Bike Path from Darbo Drive to Commercial Ave and constructing a new signalized intersection at Sixth Street.
The project also includes replacement of the sanitary sewer, storm sewer and water main. Decorative street lighting, landscaping and colored cross walks are included in the project. Bike lanes will be provided on East Washington Avenue.
The project will be funded with State and Federal Funds and those funds will cover a significant portion of the cost of reconstruction. The State of Wisconsin Department of Transportation will bid and oversee the reconstruction project.
The City of Madison will furnish and install various traffic signal and lighting materials under an agreement with the WDOT. The agreement requires that the City indemnify WDOT. City APM 1-1 requires Common Council approval whenever the City indemnifies another party and the funding by WDOT for these installations carries low risk and benefits the general public.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the plans and specifications for East Washington Avenue Segment Three are hereby approved, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Mayor and City Clerk are hereby authorized to enter into an agreement with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WDOT) for the construction of East Washington Avenue Segment Three, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Mayor and City Clerk are hereby authorized to execute a contract for construction by City forces with WDOT for supplying and installing various traffic signal and lighting materials and that the Common Council approves indemnification of WDOT under this contract, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Comptroller is hereby authorized to internally borrow $550,000 until such time as the full amount of the Federal earmark for the project becomes available.
