Council approves budget amendment to close out two Highway Safety Improvement Program projects
Summary
The Norwalk City Council approved Resolution No. 25-16 to appropriate street renovation funds for final payments and closeout of two completed Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) Cycle 6 projects (City Project Nos. 7228 and 7230). The consent calendar also passed unanimously.
The Norwalk City Council on a unanimous vote approved Resolution No. 25-16 to appropriate street renovation funds to allow final payments and closeout for city projects 7228 and 7230, part of the Highway Safety Improvement Program Cycle 6.
City public works staff member Mario Mera told the council that “these particular projects are already completed” and that the resolution represents “the final step to contract closeout.” He said the remaining open items were related to final payment and scope questions and that “all parties have reached agreement.”
The resolution was listed on the consent/regular agenda and moved and seconded on the council floor; a roll-call vote recorded Council members Rios, Valencia, Vice Mayor Perez and Mariela (last name not specified in the record) as voting Aye, and the motion carried. Earlier in the meeting the council approved eight consent items by the same unanimous vote recorded on the roll call.
Why it matters: Appropriating the funds completes administrative and payment obligations for two completed street-safety projects and allows staff to formally close out the contracts. City staff indicated the change resolves final payment and scope questions that had kept the contracts open.
The meeting record shows no further debate on the item and no public speakers on this resolution. Staff said the appropriation will allow the city to issue final payments and conclude contract administration for the two HSIP Cycle 6 projects.
