Explanation
BACKGROUND: The Department of Public Utilities, Division of Power and Water intends to complete a water line project on Cooke Road over Adena Brook and has agreed to incorporate the replacement of a culvert for the Franklin County Engineer's Office, into its plans. This Ordinance will authorize the Director of Public Utilities to enter into a Reimbursement Agreement with Franklin County, for these improvements, known as the Cooke Road 20-Inch Water Main Improvements Project, Project No. 690236-100064, in the amount of $400,000.00.
Improvements will be made at City cost and then reimbursed by the Franklin County Engineer's Office once construction is complete. The reimbursement will be deposited into the Water Permanent Improvement fund (Fund 608). The Franklin County Board of Commissioners passed Resolution No. 0119-12, on February 14, 2012, whereby the County agreed to reimburse the City for this project.
Franklin County will provide inspection services for all work related to the installation of the culvert and the City will supply inspection services for all work associated with the construction of the water line.
EMERGENCY DESIGNATION: The roadway will be completely shut down which serves at least 2 different schools. Emergency action is requested as the County needs to have construction completed while schools are on summer break. This agreement will need to be in place before construction begins.
FISCAL IMPACT: The Franklin County Engineer's Office will provide reimbursement to the Department Public Utilities, Division of Power and Water for 100% of the County's share of the costs associated with the construction of the improvements described herein. The amount of reimbursement will be determined at the conclusion of construction. The current estimate for the County's portion of the project is $400,000.00. Once the reimbursement is received the funds will be deposited into the Water Permanent Improvement fund (Fund 608).
