Title of bill
An act to amend the highway law, in relation to increasing reimbursement rates paid by the state to cities for repair and maintenance of state arterials
Purpose
The bill amends the Highway Law by increasing the reimbursement rate paid to cities for maintaining state arterial highways.
Summary of provisions
Subdivision 5-a of Section 340-b and Subdivision 7 of Section 349-c of the Highway Law are amended by increasing the reimbursement rate from eighty-five cents per square yard to one dollar and twenty five cents per square yard and from an additional ten cents to fifteen cents per square yard for work on an elevated bridge.
Justification
This rate was last raised in 1987. Cumulative inflation since then has raised costs with no adjustment on the rate paid to cities. If the State Department of Transportation had to assume the costs of these maintenance contracts, the cost to DOT per square yard would be in excess of the rate proposed in this bill.
