Motion to approve Resolution No. 56-23 amending the budget for Fiscal Year 2022-2023 adopted on September 19, 2022, by providing for funding for bus shelter maintenance and installation.
Body
Background:
On August 20, 2013, the City of Delray Beach (City) Commission approved an amendment to Land Development Regulations (LDR) Section 2.4.3 “Submission Requirements ", Subsection (D) "Preliminary Engineering Plans" and Subsection (F) "Final Engineering Plans" to provide for bus shelters; enacting a new section, Section 6.1.14 "Transit", to provide criteria associated with transit stops.
The City owns and maintains 67 bus shelters within its limits. These shelters are highly used and in high traffic areas, often situated along main thoroughfares, thus requiring continuous maintenance to ensure cleanliness and safety. In addition to maintenance, small improvements to existing shelters are needed as well as one new (1) bus shelter installation near the Shadywoods neighborhood on Linton Boulevard.
To comply with the above LDRs, a budget amendment to the Fiscal Year 2022-2023 General Construction Fund is required to appropriate $125,000 for repairs, maintenance, and improvements to existing bus shelters, and $25,000 for the installation of one (1) new bus shelter, for a total appropriation of $150,000.
The breakdown of estimated costs is as follows:
Routine maintenance, to include pressure-cleaning $80,000
Small improvements, to include plexi-glass replacement $45,000
Bus shelter installation - Linton Boulevard $25,000
TOTAL $150,000
