Justification: (state briefly why legislative action is requested)
The Department of Public Works is requesting the Legislature’s approval to enter into an agreement with Sprint for the relocation of their fiber optic line that is buried along the length of the existing Albany County Rail Trail Bridge over New Scotland Road (SR 85). The lines would be temporarily relocated on utility poles prior to removal of the existing structure. Once the new pedestrian bridge is complete, the fiber optic lines would be secured to the outside of the new structure.
The agreement states the County would pay Sprint the sum of $199,414.79 for utility relocation costs. The relocation costs would be paid for with bond money tied to construction of the new Rail Trail Bridge project.
