Aim
First Reading of Ordinance No.052,2010,Appropriating Unanticipated Revenue in the Downtown Alley Enhancement
Project.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Downtown Alley Enhancement Project funding for const suction of the Old Firehouse and Montezuma Fuller Alley
Project needs to be appropriated to the City. The City will be administering the construction contract for the Downtown
Development Authority. The DDA funds for ttie P.rojecctt will remain in the U A's account, and will be transferred and
spent to pay contractor invoices only as-they become-due and payable.
BACKGROUND/ DISCUSSION
The City adopted the Downtown Strategic Plan on February 17, 2004. The Plan supports development of an
integrated pedestrian network consisting of alleyways. On September 11,2008, the Downtown Development Authority
approved the 2010 redevelopment of the Old Firehouse and Montezuma Fuller alleys.
The Old Firehouse and Montezuma Fuller alleys ar0 ey areas3ofdowntown Fort%Collins and are in need of substantial
renovation and redevelopment. The alley renovation and rede`velopmentwilll�provide aesthetic improvements,facilitate
pedestrian movements and support economic growth in the downtown area.
The alley project includes utility upgrades, stormwater drainage improvements, new decorative pavers, trash
receptacle enclosures, signage and lighting. The project will be constructed this summer.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The funding for this project is 100% from the Downtown Development Authority's operating budget, using its bond
proceeds. However,since the City will be managing the project with oversight from the DDA, a City capital project will
be created. This is consistent with prioo�,City projects that have received DDA funding (examples include the Civic
Center Parking Garage, downtown sidewalkmprovements).
This ordinance appropriates an amount not to.ezc'eed$2�million-thatwill be transferred from the DDA Operating Fund
�� ii f! t i
to the City's Capital Project Fund. Contitent with the-matority of capital projects in the City's Capital Projects' Fund,
the actual dollars from the DDA Operating Fund will be transferred monthly to the City account on a reimbursable basis
after the expenditure has been paid with City funds.
Upon awarding the bid to successful contractor, the City will freeze any portion of the $2 million appropriation that
exceeds the winning bid amount to the contractor. This will free up funding for the DDA to utilize for future projects.
The DDA funds for the Project will remain in the DDA's account, and will be transferred and spent to pay contractor
invoices only as they become due and payable.
SUSTAINABILITY: ECONOMIC;ENVIRONMENTA[--AND�,SOCIACIMPACTS
The alley improvements will improve`pedestrianlmovement in�the downtown area. The improvements will enhance
the user experience,thus contributing to the economic vitalityLf the downtown area. The design of the improvements
supports the City's sustainability goals with the use of durable materials, low energy lights, and recycling of waste
materials.
