Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
This is consent legislation with the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) for the removal and construction of a new retaining wall adjacent to the Columbus Public Africentric School. The project will consist of removing the existing retaining wall adjacent to the Columbus Public Africentric School as well as removing the pedestrian crossing over I-70. As part of the freeway reconstruction project, bridges on both sides of the current pedestrian bridge will be upgraded to include improved sidewalks for pedestrian safety. Following demolition, a new retaining wall will be constructed to coordinate with demolition and construction of the Africentric School. This work was previously included in the 4th 70/71 freeway reconstruction project and is being advanced to coordinate with demolition and construction of the school facilities.
(FRA-Africentric Retaining Wall; PID 89476.)

This is an Ohio Department of Transportation interstate improvement project and there are no new sidewalks or bike paths associated with this project to be constructed.

Since a portion of this project lies within the City of Columbus, this consent ordinance is necessary. Construction of this project is scheduled for the fall of 2011 and is scheduled to be completed by the spring of 2012. This legislation also authorizes the Director of Public Service to enter into the necessary agreements to complete this project.

2. FISCAL IMPACT
The estimated total cost of this project is $10,000,000.00 which will be funded by ODOT. There is no cost to the City for this project.
