Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
This Ordinance authorizes the Public Service to provide payment to the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) for the pavement marking materials needed for the Bridge Rehabilitation - US 23 (4th Street) over Convention Center Connector and Railroad project (ODOT FRA-23-12.11 PID 77565), in ODOT District 6.
This project rehabilitated the US 23 (4th Street) bridge over Convention Center Connector and Railroad by redecking and repainting structural steel and include limited resurfacing, sidewalk improvements, and installation of three of the City's lighting poles near the bridge that are in need of repair due to age and deteriorating pole foundation structure and circuitry.
The Department of Public Service, Division of Design and Construction requested that the State include an alternate bid item in the project for pavement markings on the bridge that are typically utilized by the City and differ from those utilized by the State in their increased durability. The expenditure of $7,000.00 for these pavement marking was authorized within ordinance 0329-2011. At this time it is necessary to authorize the additional expenditure of $3,642.00 for the purpose of providing for the appropriate striping material needed. Since the original amount was requested, it was determined that the materials that were going to be used did not meet the requirements of the City and additional funding is needed for the materials needed.
2. EMERGENCY DESIGNATION
Emergency action is requested in order to provide funding to ODOT as expeditiously as possible to maintain proper accounting practices.
3. FISCAL IMPACT
Funding for this expense is available within the Streets and Highways G.O. Bonds Fund due to the cancellation of encumbrances from completed projects.
