Body
PREAMBLE
The State of Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) is proposing improvements to Verona Road (Nakoma Road to Raymond Road), USH 12, (Whitney Way to Seminole Highway) and Seminole Highway (Overpass of USH 12). Construction will also include work along frontage roads of Verona Road and USH 12 which are local City of Madison streets.
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 2013-16.
The work includes improvements to the following roadways: Frontage Roads of USH 12, Frontage Roads of Verona Road, Allied Drive, West Beltine Bike Path, Seminole/Arboretum Bike Path, Whitney Way/Gilbert Road intersection and Nakoma Road/Seminole Highway intersection. The work also includes improvements for storm sewer, sanitary sewer and water main for the above referenced roadways.
The City of Madison and the WisDOT propose to enter into an agreement for construction and cost sharing of the proposed project. The basis for cost sharing participation is as follows:
1) Design Engineering: All design-engineering costs necessitated by the street reconstruction are 100% WisDOT funded.
2) Local Utilities: The City shall pay for 100% of the cost of installing or adjusting new water and sanitary sewer mains. The City assumes full responsibility for the design, installation, testing and operation of the sanitary sewer and water system. The City is requesting reimbursement of construction occurring in easements. The final amount may be lower than what is shown in the fiscal note.
3) Street Improvements: The WisDOT shall pay 100% of the costs for pavement, concrete curb and gutter, storm sewer, street lights, traffic signals, drive aprons, base material, sidewalk as needed, terrace restoration and all other necessary street improvements for completion of the project, through administration of State & Federal funding.
4) Community Sensitive Design Improvements: The WisDOT shall pay 100% of the costs for Community Sensitive Design Improvements through administration of State & Federal Funding. The Funding is capped at $1,558,200. The City is responsible for any costs over the cap. In the event bid prices are larger than the cap, the City will remove elements so that there are no City costs associated with Community Sensitive Design Improvements. Items associated with Community Sensitive Design Improvements include but are not limited to: New trees & plantings, Decorative paving and Decorative staining of structures.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the plans and specifications for the proposed improvements are hereby approved and the Mayor and City Clerk are hereby authorized to execute agreements with the State of Wisconsin Department of Transportation for the the local road, sanitary sewer, water main and community sensitive design construction of the Verona Road & Seminole Highway Project.
