Explanation

This ordinance provides an additional $64,000.00 to prevent inspection deficits for 5 projects within the Division of Transportation Capital Improvement Program. These projects include Taylor Station Road Widening, 2008 ODOT Urban Paving Project, Concrete Rehab 2008, ADA Curb Ramps - South High, Hope Avenue Reconstruction.

This legislation utilizes existing funding consistent with where the original construction inspection expenses were incurred.

Emergency action is requested to provide construction inspection funds for these projects in the interest of maintaining proper accounting and fund integrity in a timely manner.
