Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
This ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Service to grant consent and propose cooperation with the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) for the FRA-3-19.92 project, PID 106260.
The aforementioned effort, which is slated to commence in the spring of 2024, encompasses various improvements to the stretch of SR-3 from Cleveland Avenue to SR-161, including resurfacing, pavement repairs, pavement widening, and bridge work.
ODOT will ask the City to approve final legislation for the project at a later date. At that time, the Director of Public Service shall seek Council approval to encumber and expend funds to support the local share of associated construction costs.
2. FISCAL IMPACT
The local share of construction costs has yet to be determined as the preliminary cost estimate is still being finalized; however, the City agrees to be responsible for any construction costs not supported by ODOT. Legislation authorizing the requisite payment to ODOT shall be authorized under a separate ordinance at a later time.
3. EMERGENCY DESIGNATION
This legislation is being put forth as an emergency measure at the request of ODOT in order to expedite the project and to promote highway safety.
