The grant provides an 80% <br /> reimbursement for certain costs intended to be used to improve the appearance of two of the <br /> City's primary entryways —U.S. 51 and U.S. Route 36/Eldorado Street— specifically through <br /> the addition of monuments, entryway signage and landmarks. Massie Massie &Associates <br /> has served as the city's consultant and project manager since the start of the project and this <br /> amendment adds $7,213 to our e�sting agreement with Massie Massie &Associates for <br /> engineering work required by IDOT to be performed by Chastain &Associates. The <br /> additional funding brings the total contract amount to $117,213, with 80% of the cost covered <br /> by the grant. <br /> POTENTIAL OBJECTIONS: There are no known objections to this resolution. <br /> INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES: Illinois Department of Transportation <br /> STAFF REFERENCE: Billy Tyus,Assistant City Manager for Development Services can <br /> be reached at btyus@decaturil.gov or 217-424-2727. <br /> BUDGET/TIME IMPLICATIONS: The amendment adds $7,213 in engineering costs to <br /> the e�sting agreement. 80% of the cost ($5,770.40) will be funded through an e�sting grant. <br /> Page 206 of 370 <br />
