CITY/MUNICIPAL UTILITIES COORDINATION In 2003, groundwork was laid for cooperation between the city and the municipal utilities for the 2003 Street Reconstruction Project. It was agreed for that project that the Municipal Utilities would fund all of the construction costs associated with their water improvements. The construction costs would include a pro rato share of the mobilization bid item based on construction costs, and a pro rato share of the signing during construction based on length of construction. In addition, the Municipal Utilities agreed to pay a percentage of construction cost for plan and specification preparation. This percentage is proposed to be 10 percent. Finally, the Municipal Utilities agreed to pay directly for services during construction, including construction staking, construction observation, contract administration and record drawing preparation. This cooperation will be continued for the 2005 Street Reconstruction project. VII.
