Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
The Division of Design and Construction is responsible for roadways and bridges within the City of Columbus. The Thompson Road bridge, located west of Johnstown Road, is partially within the City of Columbus and partially within the Village of New Albany. This bridge is in need of rehabilitation and due to the fact that it is within both municipalities it is necessary to enter into a maximum cost construction agreement with New Albany to allow the City to perform work on the bridge and receive funding from the Village of New Albany for rehabilitation work associated with this bridge. This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Service to enter into an agreement with New Albany to provide funding for their share of the rehabilitation of this bridge.

Work to be included in the rehabilitation of the bridge includes milling off existing wearing surface, install type 3 waterproofing, and resurface. Remove existing guardrail and store for re-use. Sawcut and remove existing deck edge, salvage as much existing steel as possible, and form and pour new deck edge. Contingency will be added to the general summary for the replacement of any reinforcing steel as needed.

2. FISCAL IMPACT
The Village of New Albany will be providing their share of funding for the portion of the bridge within New Albany.

3. EMERGENCY DESIGNATION
Emergency action is requested for this legislation to authorize the Director of Public Service to enter into this agreement to ensure this project remains on schedule and additional expenses are not incurred.
