Explanation

The Franklin County Engineering Department (Franklin County Engineer) is engaged in a roadway improvement project on Tuttle Crossing Boulevard from Wilcox Road to I-270. The project consists of the reconstruction and widening to 5 lanes of 0.70 miles of roadway including a raised median, curb and gutter, street lighting, bicycle path and sidewalks, and closed storm drainage. This is a joint construction project with Columbus, Dublin, and Franklin County.

The Franklin County Engineer is the lead agency for this project and the City has agreed to reimburse Franklin County for its share of these improvements.

This ordinance authorizes the Public Service Director to enter into the necessary agreements to complete this project and provides for the City's share of the project in the amount of $800,000.00 to be paid upon proper invoice by the Franklin County Engineer.

Emergency action is requested in order to provide the City's financial commitment to Franklin County prior to the commencement of the Project or soon thereafter. Construction of this project is scheduled to begin in July 2007 and end in Fall of 2008.

Fiscal Impact: Funding for this project is budgeted and available in the 2007 Capital Improvements Budget in the Roadway improvement project within the 1995, 1999, 2004 Voted Streets and Highways Fund. This ordinance authorizes the expenditure of $800,000.00 for the above described improvements.
