Explanation

The City of Columbus is engaged in the Norton Road Improvement project. This project will include road widening and curb and gutter configuration with proposed bike lanes and sidewalks. This legislation authorizes payment for utility relocation work based on the estimated costs from American Electric Power Distribution ($40,000.00), American Electric Power Transmission ($183,638.00), and Columbia Gas ($250,000.00), a total of up to $473,638.00 between the companies.

Funding for this project will be supplied by the Ohio Department of Transportation (80%) and the City (20%). The City's share of the utility relocation expense is $94,727.60 ($473,638.00 x .20). Ultimately, the state will reimburse the difference ($378,910.40) to the City. Funds for this purpose have been identified in the General Permanent Improvement Fund from the sale of surplus rights-of-way. This ordinance appropriates monies within that Fund, transfers them to the Federal-State Highway Engineering Fund, and then authorizes the expenditure of the entire $473,638.00 amount from the latter Fund.

Emergency action is requested as a timely indication to ODOT of the City's commitment to this project.
