Resolution to amend the Fiscal Year 2022 Council Approved Budget and Accept and Appropriate to the Capital Budget (Capital Projects) Fund for the River Street Park Project, $113,490 Received from the Virginia Department of Transportation pursuant to the Memorandum of Agreement Regarding River Street Park


Purpose
PURPOSE/BACKGROUND:
In order to address impacts to River Street Park (the “Park”) as a result of the Hampton Roads Express Lane Project Segment 4(c), the City negotiated a Memorandum of Agreement (the “Memorandum”) with the Virginia Department of Transportation (“VDOT”) regarding the Park. The Memorandum was fully executed by the City and VDOT on August 23, 2021. Under the Memorandum, there are two cost estimates that the City must submit to VDOT. The first cost estimate is related to the removal and relocation or storage of Park elements during the Project’s construction and the second cost estimate is related to the redesign of the Park following construction.

Following the City’s submission of the first cost estimate to VDOT and further discussions, VDOT signed a letter agreement on March 11, 2022, stating that VDOT would pay the City one hundred thirteen thousand four hundred ninety dollars ($113,490) for the removal and relocation or storage of certain Park elements during the Project’s construction. VDOT submitted the payment to the City via wire transfer on March 21, 2022. The source of the VDOT payment is the Hampton Roads Transportation Fund. The purpose of this resolution is to accept and appropriate the payment received by VDOT.
