Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
This ordinance authorizes The Director of Public Service to deposit with the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) funds necessary for the demolition of the existing Town Street Bridge over the Scioto River, lying within the City of Columbus. The existing Town Street Bridge was closed on July 22, 2008 due to its deteriorated condition. The existing bridge was originally planned to be included with the Rich Street Bridge construction project, but in order to meet schedules of adjacent projects, the demolition project was separated and is being bid as a stand alone project. The original limestone balustrade was removed in October 2008 in order to save elements of the Town Street Bridge to satisfy the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with State Historic Preservation Officer (SHIPO), Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT), Franklin County and the City of Columbus.
A deposit of the construction cost, including inspection fees, needs to be made with ODOT in December 2008 in order to meet the current bid and award dates. The project is currently planned for sale on January 28, 2009, and it is anticipated that construction will begin in March 2009.
The City of Columbus developed the plans for this project, and ODOT will administer the contract.
2. EMERGENCY DESIGNATION
Emergency action is requested in order to meet ODOT's schedule and have this work completed to accommodate the schedule for building the Scioto Mile prow, and the construction of the new Rich Street Bridge. The project has an interim completion of June 30, 2009 to be off the east bank to enable the Scioto Mile project to construct the prow, and is anticipated to be fully completed by September 2009.
3. FISCAL IMPACT:
The estimated cost of construction for this project is $1,681,818.18, and inspection fees are estimated at $168,181.82. The City is responsible for 100% of the cost, including construction inspection. Funding is available for this project from the Streets and Highways G.O. Bonds Fund due to encumbrance cancellations from completed projects.
