• t�• s <br /> In recent years it has been the City's desire to get a head start on Motor Fuel Tax funded <br /> construction projects by awarding the major street projects in late April or early May to provide <br /> an excellent opportunity to receive favorable bids and an early construction start. The City <br /> Council has generally been comfortable moving forward with Motor Fuel Tax funded projects <br /> prior to or in conjunction with finalization of the City budget. The attached resolutions authorize <br /> City staff to prepare projects and solicit bids in cooperation with the Illinois Department of <br /> Transportation. It is anticipated that the Street Restoration project will come before the City <br /> Council for approval in late April or early May and the Concrete Pavement Joint Repairs proj ect <br /> will come before the Council for approval in May or early June. <br /> POTENTIAL OBJECTION: There are no known objections to this resolution. <br /> INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES: Illinois Department of Transportation <br /> STAFF REFERENCE: Matt Newell, City Engineer, at 424-2747 <br /> The City Engineer, Matt Newell, will be in attendance at the City Council meeting to answer any � <br /> questions of the Council on this item. <br /> BUDGET/TIME IMPLICATION: <br /> The proposed resolutions authorize the City to expend up to $2,110,000 in MFT funds for Street <br /> Restoration and up to $600,000 in MFT funds for Concrete Pavement Joint Repairs. <br /> It is expected that the two proposed street improvement projects will be forwarded to the City <br /> Council for award between late April or early June for construction in the summer of 2004. <br /> attach: 3 <br /> cc: John Smith, Assistant City Manager of Public Services <br /> Phillip R.
