Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
This is consent legislation with the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) for a crack sealing project on the four lane section of SR-161 from Ulry Road to the Licking County line. Crack sealing will help to extend the life of the pavement by filling cracks that have developed and therefore reduce the effects of the freeze/thaw cycle. (D06-PPM-FY11B PID 83734)
Since this project lies within the City of Columbus, this consent ordinance is necessary. The Ohio Department of Transportation will be responsible for preliminary engineering and construction. Construction is tentatively planned for Spring 2011 and is expected to be completed by Fall 2011. This legislation also authorizes the Director of Public Service to enter into the necessary agreements to complete this project.
2. FISCAL IMPACT
The estimated construction cost of the entire project is $1,000,000.00 part of which is in Madison and Pickaway Counties. There is no cost to the City for this project.
