FISCAL IMPACT
This action will approve the expenditure of all remaining unauthorized FY2022 funds for this project. The FY2022 Capital Improvement Program project budget has an available unauthorized balance of $2,573,854.91 in water operations funds.
BACKGROUND AND PREVIOUS ACTIONS
Per City of Goodyear Resolution 08-1255, all expenditures of budgeted funds in excess of $500,000 must obtain Council approval.
STAFF ANALYSIS
This project is necessary to replace aging infrastructure and provide fire protection system enhancements in the Historic Goodyear neighborhood. The improvements in this community will relocate distribution and service infrastructure from alleys to the main roadways with increased fire hydrant coverage. The waterline was installed in the 1960’s and replacement will increase reliability and redundancy for approximately 220 residents. Construction funding spans two fiscal years, and a separate CAR will be submitted in FY2023 to approve expenditure for the final phase of improvements.
