Explanation
BACKGROUND:
This project proposes to upgrade County Road 3 (Norton Road), a two lane 1.60 mile road between Broad Street and Hall Road, to a five lane curbed facility, lying within the City of Columbus. Total work length of the project being approximately 2.13 miles.
Emergency action is requested so that ODOT can proceed with this project in a timely manner. This project has been bid by ODOT but this ordinance is required by ODOT prior to the project being awarded.
FISCAL IMPACT: The City and County share of funding for Ohio Department of Transportation projects are required prior to the awarding of projects. The cost to the City and County for construction of the Norton Road project was estimated by the Ohio Department of Transportation. The estimated cost to the City of Columbus and Franklin County for their share of the project was $3,904,654.90. After OPWC funding in the amount of $1,100,000.00, and previous deposits by the City of $320,000.00 and $1,933,735.00 the remaining amount due from the City was $550,919.90. The project was then bid by ODOT and due to lower than expected bids received, the $550,919.90 is no longer necessary. The City's ultimate share of this project, though, is dependent upon actual costs of the project when they are determined by ODOT.
