• July 5, 2011 —Council approved Resolution R2011-106 authorizing an agreement with URS Corporation to complete the final design for the replacement of the South Shores Bridge over the Sand Creek Arm of Lake Decatur and relocation of the Sanitary District of Decatur sewer interceptor at a cost of$219,200. Resolution R2011-107 was also approved authorizing $219,200 in Motor Fuel Tax funds to pay for the design services. • February 6, 2012—Council approved Resolution 82012-10 authorizing an amendment to the design services agreement between the City of Decatur and URS Corporation to perform the design for the replacement of the South Shores Bridge over Sand Creek for an additional fee of$27,000 which is added to the current authorized fee of$219,200 for a total not to exceed fee of$246,200. BACKGROUND: The resolution authorized on February 6, 2012, did not specify that the additional fee amount would be expended from Motor Fuel Tax funds. The attached resolution rescinds the original resolution approved in February and replaces it with a resolution which specifically authorizes the use of Motor Fuel Tax funds. This wording was inadvertently left out of the previous resolution and it is required by the Illinois Department of Transportation in order to use Motor Fuel Tax funds. The original memo and resolution presented to the Council on February 6, 2012, is attached hereto for additional information. POTENTIAL OBJECTION: There are no known objections to this resolution. INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES: Illinois Department of Transportation STAFF REFERENCE: Richard Marley, Public Works Director and Matthew Newell, City Engineer. Richard Marley will be in attendance at the City Council meeting to answer any questions of the Council on this item. BUDGET/TIME IMPLICATIONS: Budget Impact: The design services amendment previously approved with URS Corporation is for a cost not to exceed $27,000, for a total design services contract cost of$246,200. The revised resolution notes that funding will come from the Motor Fuel Tax fund. Staffing Impact: Staff time has been allocated for managing this project. This memorandum was prepared by Matthew C. Newell, P.E., City Engineer. Attach: 2 Page 12
