HomeMy WebLinkAbout5A4 Budget Request for Downtown Cross Streets #2
Redevelopment Commission Agenda Item
DATE: October 22, 2018
FROM: Kara Boyles, City Engineer
SUBJECT: Budget Request/Adjustment - Downtown Cross Streets Streetscape 117-041A
Which TIF? (circle one) River West; River East; South Side; Douglas Road; West Washington
PURPOSE OF REQUEST: Additional funding request in the amount of $29,000 to close out the project.
Specifics: As part of the City’s continuing effort to implement “complete streets”, and following up
on the One-way to Two-way Conversion project, the first of our “Cross Streets” projects
was under construction this past summer. The project focused on Colfax, between Main
St. and Michigan St., and the portion of Michigan between Colfax and LaSalle – The Morris
plaza right-of-way. This streetscape project addressed elements below ground as well as
typical above ground lighting, landscaping, curbs and sidewalks, etc.
The Board of Public Works awarded this project to Walsh & Kelly on April 24, 2018 in the
amount of $1,659,060.60. In order to close out the project, I am requesting an additional
appropriation of $29,000 for change orders and final close-out of the project.
In order to reduce the impact of the request, I have reduced other projects, specifically,
Sample and Sheridan and the LWE Road Diet to cover the change orders.
