Background and Analysis:
The Artesian lot was purchased as part of the New City Hall construction project with the intent to both preserve and protect the Artesian well on the site and provide parking for City fleet and other related City parking needs. A portion of the balance of funds in the New City Hall construction fund were set aside for improvements to the Artesian lot to protect our fleet and add electric vehicle charging stations.
A component of the Artesian Commons construction project is the addition of charging stations and fencing to provide infrastructure for future electric fleet vehicles and protection of the fleet vehicles at this location. The bids for this project were opened on February 4, 2014 and the cost for the fleet parking improvements and some additional contingency came in at $142,200, within the budget set aside for this work. The attached appropriation ordinance transfers funds from the New City Hall construction fund to the Artesian Commons project fund to complete the fleet parking improvements as part of the project.
