Explanation
Background: The Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission (MORPC) serves as staff to the District Three Public Works Integrating Committee. This committee provides input, planning, preparation, and makes recommendations to the Ohio Public Works Commission for fund distribution for the State Capital Improvement Program (SCIP) and the Local Transportation Improvement Program (LTIP). MORPC's costs for Round 18 are prorated to local jurisdictions based on the total funds ultimately awarded to each jurisdiction. The Public Service Department, Transportation Division, has been awarded a total of $8,767,801.00 for three projects as follows:
Project / Funding Received
Morse Road Reconstruction Phase 1 (Indianola Road-Karl Road) / $ 5,208,460.00
McKinley Avenue (Central Avenue-Souder Avenue and Hartford Street-St. John Street) / $ 2,275,000.00
Norton Road (West Broad Street-Hall Road) / $ 1, 284,341.00
The division's administrative cost billing as determined by MORPC is .005959 percent of this total, or $52,247.00. The Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission's contract compliance number is 31-1009675.
Fiscal Impact: The Transportation Division budgeted $6.7 million in the 2004 Capital Improvements Budget for Federal/State Match projects. Nearly $6 million of the Federal/State Match funds have been either encumbered or expended since the July 2004 bond sale. This ordinance authorizes an expenditure of $52,247.00 to pay MORPC for helping to plan, prepare, and coordinate the SCIP and LTIP programs for the Transportation Division. Last year's expenditure was $7,358.00.
Emergency action is requested to expedite payment to MORPC. Their invoice was received on April 21, 2005, and is due upon receipt and not later than May 30, 2005.
