In addition to the contract amount, $150,000.00 is required for project management, material testing and inspection.
It is the practice of the Water Department to appropriate its Capital Improvement Program (CIP) plan throughout the Fiscal Year, instead of within
the annual budget ordinance, as projects commence, additional funding needs are identified, and to comply with bond covenants.
Funding is budgeted in the Transfer to Water/Sewer account of the Water & Sewer Fund for the purpose of funding the 2024 WM Leak Repair
Contract project within the Water & Sewer Capital Projects Fund.
