Title
Resolution to Accept and Appropriate $1,400,000, to be Received on a Reimbursement Basis from the City of Newport News Department of Water Works, to the Capital Projects Miscellaneous Revenue Account of the Capital Budget (Capital Project) Fund for Construction Costs of the Queens Way Streetscape Project based on a Cost Sharing Agreement to be Entered into between the City of Newport News and the City of Hampton
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) known as the Queens Way Streetscape Project (the “Project”) as part of the ARPA-funded improvements in Downtown Hampton. The City will commence construction on the Project in the Fall of 2024. The City of Newport News Waterworks Department (“NNWW”) desires 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. As approved in Resolution 23-0335, the City already employed the City’s consultant (Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc.) to handle the design of NNWW’s waterline and will soon be reimbursed by the City of Newport News (“Newport News”) the full costs of the waterline improvement design. Newport News now agrees to fund the proposed NNWW improvements to be performed by the City’ s contractor during the Project. The Project has been advertised and the City is awarding the contract to J. Sanders Construction Company. Upon completion of construction of the Project’s pipelines, Newport News agrees to reimburse the City for actual costs incurred for the NNWW’s improvements, estimated to be $1,400,000, and they will enter into a cost sharing agreement with the City setting forth the terms and conditions for reimbursement of same.
