Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the City Auditor to transfer the required funds that are necessary to allow the Department of Public Utilities, Division of Power and Water to reimburse the Division of Sewerage and Drainage for construction of a 24" water main in the State Route 317 London-Groveport Road area.
The Division of Sewerage and Drainage's contractor, McNally/Kiewit Joint Venture, was working on the Big Walnut Outfall Augmentation Sewer, Part 2 Project (Ordinance No. 1519-2004), and discovered a water line needing repair. Since the contractor was already on site, it was most feasible in regard to time, cost, and convenience, to go forth with repairs for the Division of Power and Water. The cost of the water line reimbursement is $171,040.00.
FISCAL IMPACT: This legislation includes a transfer of funds within the Water Works Enlargement Voted Bonds Fund and an amendment to the 2008 Capital Improvements Budget.
