Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Service to modify a contribution agreement with the Franklin County Engineer’s Office relative to the Bikeway Development - Trabue Road Shared Use Path project and to provide additional funding to subsidize that effort.
Located in the Far West Community Planning Area, the aforementioned project encompasses the rehabilitation of the Trabue Road Bridge over Buckeye Rail (Norfolk Southern Railroad) and the installation of a shared use path along the south side of the roadway from the private drive approximately 1500’ east of Walcutt Road to Bolingbrook Drive.
Ordinance 0799-2017 authorized the Director of Public Service to execute a contribution agreement with the Franklin County Engineer’s Office and to expend up to $60,000.00 to fund eligible design costs. This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Service to modify that agreement and to expend up to $110,000.00 to support associated design, utility relocation, and right-of-way acquisition costs.
2. FISCAL IMPACT
Funds in the amount of $110,000.00 are available in the Streets and Highways Bond Fund within the Department of Public Service. An amendment to the 2018 Capital Improvement Budget is necessary to provide sufficient budget authority for the appropriate project.
3. EMERGENCY DESIGNATION
Emergency action is requested to allow for immediate execution of agreements with the Franklin County Engineer’s Office so as to maintain the current project schedule and to prevent unnecessary delays in the payment of eligible design costs.
