BUSINESS DIVERSITY: Gra-Tex Utilities, Inc. is in compliance with the Business Equity Ordinance by committing to 14 percent Business Equity
participation on this project. The City's Business Equity goal on this project is 14 percent.
Approval of Recommendation No. 2 would adjust appropriations between a programmable project and convert the 2018 Bond Street
Reconstruction Contract 13 and 14 project (City Project No. 101475) into a static capital project. This action is needed as future funding for the
2018 Bond Street Reconstruction Contract 13 and 14 project (City Project No. 101475) is anticipated from other funding sources and the scope of
this project differs from that of the current programmable project.
The 2018 Bond Program funding was included in the 2021-2025 Capital Improvement Program 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 amend the FY2021-2025 Capital Improvement Program as approved in connection with
Ordinance 24446-09-2020.
This project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 7.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that funds are available in the current operating budget of the Water & Sewer Fund and upon the approval of the
above recommendations and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinances, funds will be available in the current capital budgets, as

approval of the above recommendations and execution of the contract. Prior to any expenditure being incurred, the Transportation & Public Works
and Water Departments have the responsibility to validate the availability of funds.
