Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
The Department of Public Service, Division of Design and Construction is engaged in the Pedestrian Safety Improvements - Lane Avenue Sidewalks project. Ordinance 0726-2011 passed by City Council May 16, 2011 authorized the Director of Public Service to enter into contract with Complete General Construction for the project.
This project consists of construction of sidewalk and ADA curb ramps on the south side of West Lane Avenue from Kenny Road to Fyffe Road; mill and resurface West Lane Avenue from Kenny Road to east of Fyffe Road; and addition of a left turn lane eastbound at Kenny Road and westbound at SR 315.
In addition, this project has included improvements by the Ohio Department of Transportation(ODOT) that will widen US 315 north and south exit ramps at West Lane Avenue and US 315 and upgrading the traffic lights within the limits of the project.
After the passage of ordinance 0726-2011, discussions with ODOT resulted in the conclusion that the funding breakdown needed to be adjusted to reflect a different funding allocation than previously understood. It is necessary to provide additional City share for part 2 of the project and reallocate Federal and State Funds for the project.
This ordinance amends ordinance 0726-2011 to adjust the funding sources for this project.
2. FISCAL IMPACT
This ordinance authorizes additional local funds for Lane Avenue Sidewalk Project and reallocates State and Federal Funds among the phases. The additional local share is budgeted within the Streets and Highways G.O. Bonds Fund and the State and Federal Funding is available within the grants for this project.
3. EMERGENCY DESIGNATION
Emergency action is requested to ensure proper accounting practices and to accurately reflect the funding sources associated with this project.
