1. BACKGROUND
This ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Service to enter into agreements with and to accept funds from the City of Worthington (Worthington) to support the completion of certain public infrastructure improvements to be constructed as part of the Roadway - Utility Cut and Repair 2019 project.
The Department of Public Service and the City of Worthington have a long-standing collaborative relationship to facilitate the design, construction, and maintenance of capital improvements benefiting or spanning both jurisdictions. As part of the aforementioned project, the Department of Public Service and the City of Worthington have agreed to improve the pedestrian facilities at the intersection of Linworth Road and Collins Drive (Worthington)/Loch Ness Avenue (Columbus), including constructing new sidewalk and ADA curb ramps. The corporate boundary between Worthington and Columbus is located just east of Linworth Road. Worthington has agreed Columbus will manage the improvement project, and Worthington will reimburse the City for the portion of work that will occur in Worthington's jurisdiction.
2. FISCAL IMPACT
There is no additional cost to the City to do this work. The Roadway - Utility Cut and Repair 2019 project has been funded and contracted. It is not necessary to modify the existing contract to add additional funds for the work to be added for Worthington. The funds used for the Worthington part of the project will be reimbursed by the City by Worthington.
3. EMERGENCY DESIGNATION
Emergency action is requested to authorize the execution of any and all necessary agreements with Worthington as soon as reasonably practicable to prevent delays in the completion of planned infrastructure improvements.
