Detailed breakdown by Project Type(2mb .pdf format)
The Engineering Division of the Department of Public Works of the City of Cumberland recommends submitting funding requests totaling $120,791,947, for 64 projects, from the federal Economic Recovery package, or Stimulus Bill, that has been proposed by the incoming Administration and under consideration by the U. S. Congress. The basis for the data and recommendations are the Pavement Management System Report for the Street segment (a separate report), and a review of other infrastructure needs by the Engineering Division. The recommendations and timeline are fluid at this point, particularly as we do not yet know the details of the Stimulus Bill. The Engineering Division also recommends consideration of using Pavement Management Bond money in the very near future to initiate and complete design of some of the street projects under consideration, so that the City may be better positioned to use some of the stimulus money as soon as the bill is signed into law. Following are key statistical data relative to the recommendations.
· $120,791,947 in total
· 64 projects
· $22,274,500 for shovel ready (within 90 days) projects
· $78,921,000 for projects ready to bid in within 180 days
· $19,596,447 for projects for which funds can be obligated for use within 2 years
