Explanation

BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into a Guaranteed Maximum Reimbursement agreement with the Franklin County Engineer's Office for the construction of City street lights associated with the Franklin County Project FRA-CR52-4.48, known as the Dodridge Street over Olentangy River project. The Franklin County Engineer's Office has agreed to construct the improvements at their cost and then obtain reimbursement from the City. Upon passage of this Ordinance the City of Columbus will agree to pay a guaranteed maximum reimbursement amount of $118,741.00 to the Franklin County Engineer's Office.

A guaranteed maximum cost reimbursement with the Franklin County Engineer's Office provides that they construct the public improvements on the City's behalf; that the project is publicly bid and subject to the reimbursement agreement with the City.

Emergency action is requested as the improvements are of immediate concern due to the project staying on schedule and the project cannot commence until the City has entered into an executed guaranteed maximum reimbursement agreement with the Franklin County Engineer's Office.

Fiscal Impact

This ordinance identifies funds in the amount of $118,741.00 from the Electricity Build America Bonds Fund to fund these necessary improvements. The maximum amount of reimbursement to be expended by the Ordinance is $118,741.00.
