Explanation

The City of Columbus is engaged in the Sidewalk Installation Program Phase V project. The purpose of this project is to construct Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)-compliant sidewalk improvements for portions of Vineshire Drive, Bairsford Drive, Wheatland Avenue, Highland Avenue, Cooke Road, Hansen Avenue, and Dresden Street. This legislation authorizes the City Attorney to contract for professional services, to acquire fee simple title and lesser interests in property needed for this project, and to expend the money necessary for payment of acquisition costs.

Fiscal Impact: Acquisition-related expenses for this project are estimated to total $100,000.00. Money to pay for these costs are available in the Resurfacing project within the 1995, 1999 Voted Streets and Highways Fund. This ordinance transfers funds between projects as appropriate and authorizes the expenditure.

Construction of these improvements is slated to begin in 2005.

Emergency action is requested to allow right-of-way acquisition and utility relocation activities to begin immediately to accommodate this construction schedule.
