ISSUE/BACKGROUND:
body
The St. Charles Streetcar Line: ADA Accessibility Project has been completed. During the project life cycle, RTA managed and funded engineering, while the City of New Orleans (CNO) managed and funded construction. As there is a letter agreement between RTA and CNO to equally share project costs, a Cooperative Endeavor Agreement (CEA) is needed to reimburse CNO as construction costs exceed engineering costs.
end
DISCUSSION:
The Total Project cost is $561,898.35. Since RTA only paid $157,134.45 for engineering, while the CNO paid $404,763.90 for construction, RTA must reimburse CNO $123,814.73 to offset costs.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
RTA will reimburse the CNO $123,814.73 and will funded this cost through local account 1.1122
NEXT STEPS:
Upon Board approval, staff will negotiate and approve a cooperative endeavor agreement with the City of New Orleans
