Title
Consideration of and action on an ordinance to amend the Fiscal Year 2023-2024 Budget for the Capital Improvements Fund for phase 1 and 2 of the Library parking lot replacement project.
Body
Summary:
The Library was originally built in 1969 and expanded in 1994 and 2012. The parking lot consists mainly of two asphalt sections built in 1969/1994, with constructions tied together with a concrete drive poured in 2012. As such, the asphalt and concrete are worn and damaged. There are large potholes in the direct flow of traffic in the asphalt and large areas of cracking in the concrete surrounding the storm drains. Much of the paint and striping has been worn down or away, including instructional traffic flow markings and fire lane indicators. People continuously enter the parking lot from the wrong point, going counter to the direction traffic should be going.
SKE Construction has been to the site and provided us with two-phase BuyBoard contract 660.21. The BuyBoard contract amount of $74,980.40 is for Phase 1 of construction, which is for the north side of the parking lot, as well as $56,940.52 for Phase 2, the south side parking lot. At this time, we would like to move forward with construction of both proposed phases and have them constructed at one time.
The Fiscal Year 2023-2024 Capital Improvements Fund Budget includes $63,800.00 to complete Phase 1 of this project. To complete both phases in this fiscal year a budget amendment in the amount of $68,200.00 is necessary. The Library Department is requesting to use contingency in the Capital Improvements fund to cover the remaining cost. There are currently $500,000.00 of contingency funds available.
Fiscal/Budgetary Impact:
Add $68,200.00 to the Fiscal Year 2023-2024 Capital Improvements Budget (Account No. 090-420-49030, Improvements) to be funded from the Contingency balance (Account No. 090-900-45100), which is available for this purpose.
