Fiscal Note
This resolution restores past budgetary authority of $1,986,500 that was not reauthorized for the Engineering Service Building Expansion project, and also adds $430,100 of new funding to the $883,400 currently available in the 2015 Adopted Capital Budget. Following the adoption of this resolution, there will be $3,300,000 ($1,986,500 of restored reauthorization, $883,400 from the 2015 budget, and $430,100 of new funding) of authority allocated 60% Sewer, 30% Stormwater and 10% Landfill, plus $425,000 from other funds, for a gross project total of $3,725,000.
The $3,300,000 of agency specific authority is therefore comprised of available and amended components. The available component consists of $883,400 from the following 2015 Adopted Budget authorizations: Sewer Utility $66,200 (Revenue Bonds); Stormwater $806,100 ($773,000 G.O., plus $33,100 Reserves); and Engineering Other / Landfill $11,100 (Landfill Remediation Fees). The amended component is comprised of $2,416,600 to restore expired, unused budgetary authority from prior years that was not reauthorized ($1,986,500) and to add new funding ($430,100). The amendment will derive this funding from the following sources: Revenue Bonds, $1,913,800; G.O. debt, $183,900; and Landfill Remediation Fees, $318,900.
Finally, in addition to the $3,300,000 described above, $425,000 will be available from the Energy Efficiency Fund ($125,000) and the Renewable Energy Fund ($300,000). This will complete the $3,725,000 in total funding needed for the project.
The budget amendment (for restored reauthorization of $1,986,500, plus new funding of $430,100) is as follows:
$1,913,800 10308-83-140 Building
($1,913,800) 10308-83-808 Revenue Bonds
$183,900 10308-84-140 Building
($183,900) 10308-84-801 GO Bonds
$318,900 10308-404-140 Building
($318,900) 10308-404-302 Landfill Remediation Fees
Title
Amending the 2015 Capital Budgets of the Sewer Utility, Storm Water Utility and Landfill to provide $3,725,000 of budget authority for the Engineering Service Building Addition thru a combination of reauthorization and allocation of additional funding for this project.
Body
PREAMBLE:
The Engineering Operations Vehicle Storage & Maintenance Facility is located at 1600 Emil Street on Madison's southwest side. The facility is located on a 409,878 square foot parcel shared with Streets west-side location. This facility was constructed in 1972 and is severely overcrowded. The City has expanded considerably since 1972 yet this will be the first expansion for the Engineering Operations Vehicle Storage & Maintenance Building. This expansion is crucial to alleviate overcrowded conditions to provide a safe, productive work environment and protect significant investment in vehicles and equipment.
The project's combined energy efficiency and renewable energy measures reduce energy consumption by 64.74% when compared to current standards for such construction. These features include enhanced building envelope construction to minimize heat loss/gain reducing energy consumption; high, efficiency modulating, condensing boilers; in-floor radiant heat; a passive solar wall on south exterior wall; 60 kW Photovoltaic roof top installation; daylighting to minimize daytime use of artificial lighting; high efficiency LED light fixtures controlled by occupancy and daylight sensors; solar thermal water heating. Additional sustainable features incorporated into the project design include a white roof to minimize heat island effect; native, low maintenance plantings with deep root systems to promote infiltration; and vertical green wall features along the Emil Street frontage.
WHEREAS, the 2012 and 2013 capital budgets provided funds to construct an addition to the Engineering Service Building to provide additional space for vehicle and equipment storage and maintenance, and;
WHEREAS, the project has been delayed due to site constraints, and;
WHEREAS, addressing these constraints has increased design and construction complexity, and;
WHEREAS, these changes have resulted in a higher cost for construction than originally projected, and;
WHEREAS, the addition is essential to alleviate overcrowding, provide a safe, efficient working environment and protect investment in vehicles and equipment.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Common Council hereby amends the 2015 Capital Budgets of the Sewer Utility, Storm Water Utility and Landfill to provide $3,725,000 of budget authority for the Engineering Service Building Addition thru a combination of reauthorization and allocation of additional funding for this project.
