4. Incorrect City utility maps led to the inadvertent disconnection of a major water service to the <br /> Orlando Apartment building. This required an after-hours repair. <br /> The Water Street Streetscape project contained contingency to cover the work cited above; however, <br /> the additional work has depleted the contingency for the project. With the unknown factors inherent <br /> with excavations and general construction, additional contingency funding will be necessary to <br /> complete the project. It is recommended that additional funding in the amount of$75,000 be added <br /> to the contract for a total authorized project cost of$2,101,812.30. <br /> Anticipated Project Schedule <br /> Construction on the Water Street corridor is approaching 40% complete and the Main Street corridor <br /> is approaching 25% complete. The Water Street corridor is to be completed prior to the Decatur <br /> Celebration. The overall Main Street corridor project is to be completed by June of 2013. <br /> The Central Park phase of the downtown streetscape enhancement work will include North and South <br /> Park Streets and a portion of North Street just east of Franklin as shown on the attached drawing. <br /> It is anticipated that Franklin Street Streetscape work, utilizing Illinois Transportation Enhancement <br /> Program(ITEP) funding, will be awarded through the State letting process in January 2013 with <br /> work commencing spring 2013 and overall completion in early 2014. <br /> POTENTIAL OBJECTION: There are no known objections to this resolution. <br /> INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES: none <br /> STAFF REFERENCE: Richard Marley, Public Works Director and Matt Newell, City Engineer. <br /> Richard Marley will be in attendance at the City Council meeting to answer any questions of the <br /> Council on this item. <br /> BUDGET/TIME IMPLICATIONS: <br /> Budget Impact: Funding for this work is allocated as part of the General Obligation Bonds <br /> authorized by the City Council on November 15, 2010.
