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 ODOT's FRA-SR3-24.47, PID 90649 construction project, which includes the addition of sidewalks along SR3 and correcting the drainage on SR3 just south of IR270. ODOT is also partnering with the City of Westerville and Blendon Township on this project.
The storm sewer work is in the median near the I-270 ramps on SR 3 south of I-270 and should help with water piping through the pavement and the project will install a drain line to the catch basin on the outside.
Sidewalks will go from the beginning of the project at Old Dublin Granville road and connect into the sidewalks Westerville is constructing just north of the I-270 interchange. Some locations will only receive sidewalks on one side depending on topography.
Construction is currently estimated to begin in October 2014, and conclude in October 2015.
2. FISCAL IMPACT
The estimated cost of the project is $2.4 million. No funding will be required of the City of Columbus.
3. EMERGENCY DESIGNATION
Emergency action is requested to provide consent for this project and meet ODOT's current project schedule.
