Explanation

Background: The Public Service Department, Transportation Division, is engaged in the Norton Road improvement project. This ordinance will provide payment to the Ohio Department Of Transportation (ODOT) for the City of Columbus share of construction costs related to the Norton Road project.

The proposed improvements consist of widening Norton Road from its current two-lane configuration to a five-lane road. In addition, sidewalk, and ADA curb ramps will be installed at all intersections and alleys. Additionally, curbing and sidewalk will be constructed along the length of the project. The improvements extend from Hall Road to West Broad Street.

The estimated construction cost for this project is $9,874,126.00. This estimate includes ODOT's project management. The construction project will be administered by ODOT. This project is eligible for Federal funding in the amount of $6,906,941.00. The City has successfully applied for a grant in the amount of $1,033,450.00 from the Ohio Public Works Commission which will be paid directly to ODOT by OPWC. The City of Columbus and Franklin County will be responsible for funding the remaining portion of construction of the project. Franklin County has agreed to pay for the portion of the project within the County. The City will make the initial payment to ODOT and Franklin County will reimburse their portion to the City. The agreed upon split is 69% City and 31% Franklin County. The City's estimated portion of this project is $1,334,277.00 and the estimated share for Franklin County is $599,458.00. This legislation must be written in advance of the final estimate to maintain the schedule ODOT has established to bid this project. The amount due to ODOT is $1,933,735.00.

Emergency action is requested in order to meet ODOT's schedule to bid this project.
