Pedestrian and Traffic Signal Improvements Project and Amend the Fiscal Years 2023-2027 Capital Improvement Program (2018 Bond Program)
RECOMMENDATION:

West Vickery Boulevard at Riverbend Boulevard Pedestrian and Traffic Signal Improvements project (City Project No.102598) in the amount

DISCUSSION:
The sidewalk/bicycle lane which ends on the west side of West Vickery Boulevard at Riverbend Boulevard was constructed as a part of the
Southwest Blvd Phase 1 project. The original scope of this pedestrian and traffic signal improvements project called for the intersection
improvements to extend along the east side to provide a safe access to pedestrians and bicyclists.
This Mayor & Council Communication will allocate funds for completion of Phase 2 of the Southwest Blvd Bike Lane Improvements at West
Vickery Boulevard at Riverbend Boulevard project and pay for the Union Pacific Railroad fees for installation of railroad panels and review of
design plans. Bean Electrical, Inc. is currently performing the construction under unit price contract CSC No. 54091 (as renewed). The anticipated
finish date for construction of the project is May 2023.

The project is currently funded by 2018 Bond Program Fund. Available resources within the General Fund will be used to provide interim financing
until debt is issued. Once debt associated with the project is sold, bond proceeds will reimburse the General Fund in accordance with the
statement expressing official Intent to Reimburse that was adopted as part of the ordinance canvassing the bond election (Ordinance No. 23209-
05-2018) and subsequent actions taken by the Mayor and Council.
Funding is budgeted in the Sidewalk/Bicycle Lanes and the Railroad Crossings projects within the 2018 Bond Program Fund.
The 2018 Bond Program Fund funding was included in the Fiscal Years 2023-2027 Capital Improvement Program for project P130002. 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 2023-2027 Capital Improvement Program.
This project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 9/FUTURE COUNCIL DISTRICT 3
A Form 1295 is not required because: This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that funds are currently available in the Sidewalk/Bicycle Lanes project and in the Railroad Crossing project within
the 2018 Bond Program Fund and upon approval of the above recommendations and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance, funds will
be available in the 2018 Bond Program Fund for the West Vickery Blvd and Riverbend project. Prior to an expenditure being incurred, the
Transportation and Public Works Department has the responsibility of verifying the availability of funds.
