Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
The Department of Public Service, Division of Design and Construction, completed the Lane Avenue widening project in 2005. This project widened Lane Avenue from Olentangy River Road to Tuller Road. Utility relocations performed by private utility companies were a necessary part of the work. The relocation expenses incurred by American Electric Power (AEP) must now be paid. This legislation authorizes payment for completed utility relocation work based on invoices received from American Electric Power in the amount of $178,500.00.

Ordinances 1935-02 and 1898-2008 have previously legislated funds in the amounts of $210,751.08 and $116,389.81 respectively for Utility relocation work. The encumbrance associated with ordinance 1935-02 was canceled in 2007 to utilize these funds due to the extended timeframe for the receipt of invoices for the project with the idea that funds would reprogrammed and relegislated once a more precise timing was known for the receipt of the invoice. AEP has now invoiced the Division for work performed and it is necessary to make payment. No further utility relocation costs are anticipated for this project.

2. CONTRACT COMPLIANCE
American Electric Power's (AEP) contract compliance number is 31-4154203. The expiration date for their contract compliance is 11/26/09.

3. FISCAL IMPACT
Funding for this purpose is budgeted within the 2009 Capital Improvement Budget in the Streets and Highways G.O. Bonds Fund for the Lane Avenue Improvement project.
