Explanation
The City of Columbus, Public Service Department, Transportation Division, completed the Polaris Parkway Widening project in 2002. This project widened Polaris Parkway from IR-71 to Old Worthington Road. Utility relocations performed by private utility companies were a necessary part of the work. The relocation expenses incurred by these utilities must be paid by the City of Columbus. This legislation authorizes payment for completed utility relocation work based on invoices received from Columbia Gas of Ohio (contract compliance number 31-0673990) in the amount of $16,595.67 and American Electric Power Company (contract compliance number 13-4922640) in the amount of $57,180.08 for a total of $73,775.75.

Funding for this purpose has been identified within the 1995, 1999 Voted Streets and Highways Fund from a cancelled Roadway Improvement project encumbrance.

Emergency action is requested so that the utilities can be reimbursed for their already completed utility relocation work.
