1. BACKGROUND
This ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Service accept a grant and to enter into an agreement with The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) and to provide funding to ODOT to perform engineering and design for the Intersection Improvements - Northwest Boulevard at Fifth Avenue and King Avenue project. ODOT has a general engineering contract with Lockwood, Lanier, Mathias and Nolan and this study will be a task under that contract.
