Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
The Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission (MORPC) serves as staff to the District Three Public Works Integrating Committee. This committee provides input and makes recommendations to the Ohio Public Works Commission for fund distribution for the State Capital Improvement Program and the Local Transportation Improvement Program. MORPC's costs for Round 26 are prorated to local jurisdictions based on the total funds ultimately awarded to each jurisdiction.
The Department of Public Service, Division of Design and Construction, was awarded a total of $6,007,479.00 for the FY 2012 Intersection Safety Improvements, NCR-Milo-Grogan (Fifth Avenue) Roadway Improvements, and Third Avenue Reconstruction projects. The Division's administrative cost as determined by MORPC is .440009133% of this total, or $26,433.46. The expenditure of this amount is authorized by this legislation.
