Official Text

Dear Honorable Board of Alderman,

 

I hereby request the below transfer be made on behalf of the Water Department within the Water Enterprise Fund.

 

In July 2013, the City put out to bid the Utility Reconstruction of Beacon St. The bid documents included cleaning and lining of existing water mains. Construction was delayed slightly due to abutter notification issues. After construction began the City requested an alternate proposal for full replacement of the mains in lieu of cleaning and lining. The City accepted this proposal, along with a new completion date of May 2015. The work will also require resident engineering and inspectional services be increased to cover the new scope of work and time extension. The Water Department requests transfer of $60,000 to cover these engineering services.

 

Transfer from:                     600058-580010                     Capital Improvements                                                               $60,000

Transfer to:                     600052-530000                     Professional and Technical Services                     $60,000

 

Respectfully,

 

Joseph A. Curtatone

Mayor
