M/WBE OFFICE — The Fain Group, Inc. is in compliance with the City's BIDE Ordinance by committing to 2 percent MBE participation and
documenting good faith effort. The Fain Group, Inc. identified several subcontracting and supplier opportunities. However, the firms contacted in
the areas identified did not respond or did not submit the lowest bids. The City's MBE goal on this project is 17 percent.
The 2018 Bond Program funding was included in the 2020-2024 Capital Improvement Plan for project PB0001. In order to administratively track
the spending of all funding sources in one project, appropriation ordinances are needed to move appropriations from the programmable project to
the jointly funded static project. This action will update the 2020-20024 Capital Improvement Plan.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that funds are available in the current operating budget of the Water & Sewer Fund, and upon approval of the
above recommendations and attached appropriation ordinances, funds will be available in the current capital budgets, as appropriated, of the
Water and Sewer Capital Projects Fund, the Stormwater Capital Projects Fund and 2018 Bond Program Fund. Prior to any expenditure being
incurred, the Water Department has the responsibility to validate the availability of funds.
