Explanation

The City of Columbus and Franklin County are currently engaged in a joint project to install GPS/AVL/ITS technology for the COMBAT (Central Ohio Management Based Applied Technology) Project. COMBAT is an advanced fleet management and automated vehicle location system for multi-jurisdictional public works applications. Ordinance 0954-2006, passed June 5, 2006 authorized consent with the Ohio Department of Transportation and Franklin County for this project. This legislation authorizes the City to enter into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for its contribution for the project and authorizes the expenditure of that amount. The City's share for this project is $522,381.00.

Approximately half of the total amount will be due upon the passage of this ordinance and the remaining half will be due near the completion of the project, now estimated to be October 2008.

Fiscal Impact: The estimated cost of this project is $4,093,826.75, which will be 80% funded by ODOT with a 20% local match by Franklin County. The City of Columbus will reimburse Franklin County for its portion of the local share of the project in the amount of $522,381.00.

Emergency action is requested to ensure that all necessary agreements are in place to obtain funding approval for this project.
