Purpose
The City of Hampton (“City”) is constructing streetscape improvements along East Queens Way (from Kings Way to Wine Street), East Queen Street (from Wine Street to Eaton Street) and South King Street (from Queens Way to Settlers Landing Road) as part of the ARPA-funded improvements in Downtown Hampton. The City will be disturbing Queens Way starting in late Summer of 2024, and the City of Newport News Waterworks Department (“NNWW”) would like to take the opportunity to replace their aging waterline at the same time, to avoid impacting the City’s corridor improvements in the coming years. NNWW has requested that the City employ the City’s consultant (Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc.) working on the Queens Way improvements to handle the design of NNWW’s waterline. The City of Newport News agrees, pursuant to that certain Cost Sharing Agreement Regarding Extension of Water Main, dated October 11, 2023 (“Agreement”), to pay and reimburse the City the full costs of the design of NNWW’s proposed waterline improvements. A copy of the Agreement is attached hereto.
