Mr. King,
In response to your request for Costs of building/creating bike lanes citywide. This should include ALL aspects of the creation of theses lanes; such as widening lanes, boardwalk lanes, the bike/walking bridge across route 13 (this is where the bill boards used to be), paint, labor, anterior construction needed, etc... I want all these to be broken down line by line. I would also like the money set aside for future construction/consideration of bike lanes (I was at the last council meeting and the council approved ANOTHER 3.3 million dollars to fund the bike lanes). I would like to know how much grant money (and where it came from) they used and the amount of city taxes was used to create these bike lanes. I would also want to know all contractors that have been used for this construction that received more than $3000 in pay for their services and all companies that were used to procure needed construction materials over $1000. I want this all line by line - year by year in spreadsheet form with totals. 2016-2019 (and future bid winners and for what amounts of money they are set to receive), please see the following information and attached documents. Answers will be provided in the order with which the questions occur in your request:
1. Costs of building/creating bike lanes citywide. This should include ALL aspects of the creation of theses lanes; such as widening lanes, boardwalk lanes, the bike/walking bridge across route 13 (this is where the bill boards used to be), paint, labor, anterior construction needed, etc... I want all these to be broken down line by line
Please see the attached Excel spreadsheets. Also, please note that the highlighted project above is a Maryland State Highway Administration project, so you will need to reach out that agency for details.
3. I would like to know how much grant money (and where it came from) they used
Please see the attached Excel spreadsheets. Projects 29024, 29025, 29029 and 29033 are grant funded, while 48046 is City funded. Additionally, the resolutions which you’ll find attached contain the details of the grants. You can find the list of City resolutions here: https://salisbury.md/departments/city-clerk/city-resolutions
4. …and the amount of city taxes was used to create these bike lanes
This figure would be total of the City funded projects.
5. I would also want to know all contractors that have been used for this construction that received more than $3000 in pay for their services and all companies that were used to procure needed construction materials over $1000
The attached Excel spreadsheets contain the names of any and all contractors who worked on these projects.
6. future bid winners and for what amounts of money they are set to receive
There are no bids at the moment for bike infrastructure work. When projects do go to bid, you may access that information through the City’s Procurement portal: https://salisbury.procureware.com/Bids
Sincerely,
Christopher M. Demone
