MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council
FROM: Steven M. Gohde, Assistant Director of Public Works
DATE: January 21, 2010
RE: Approve of Agreement with Wisconsin Department of Transportation for Utility
th
Relocations Required for Reconstruction of US Highway 41: 9 Avenue
BACKGROUND
The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (DOT) is planning to reconstruct USH 41 from State
Highway 26 to Breezewood Lane in Neenah beginning in 2009. USH 41 has reached its capacity and
will be expanded to meet the public needs and improve safety. The construction addressed in this
agreement covers relocation of a City owned telecommunication line.
ANALYSIS
th
The DOT will be replacing the 9 Avenue Bridge over USH 41 as part of the overall USH 41 project. The
new bridge conflicts with the existing telecommunication line. The agreement allows for the City to be
reimbursed for 90% of the cost to relocate the existing utility.
FISCAL IMPACT
This work was not included in the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Budget. The total agreement
amount is $43,069.56. The DOT will reimburse the City $38,762.60. The cost to the City for items will be
$4,306.96.
RECOMMENDATIONS
I recommend approval of the Utility Relocation Agreement.
Respectfully Submitted, Approved:
Steven M. Gohde Mark A. Rohloff
Asst. Director of Public Works City Manager
