Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
This legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Public Service to expend up to $144,501.00 for utility relocation expenses in connection with the Parsons/Livingston Avenue improvement project.

Utility relocations performed by private utility companies were a necessary part of the work for this project and the relocation expenses incurred by XO Communications and Time Warner Cable must now be paid. This legislation authorizes payment for completed utility relocation work based on invoices received from XO Communications and Time Warner Cable in the amount of $144,501.00.

The Department of Public Service, Division of Design and Construction is in the process of administering the subject project that will assist the private development initiative currently being undertaken by Nationwide Children's Hospital. The hospital's growth plans will retain and add significant job opportunities for the City of Columbus. The City's roadway improvement project will be constructed with American Recovery and Revitalization Act of 2009 funding.

The purpose of this public improvement project is to widen and improve Livingston Avenue from Ninth Street east to Ohio Avenue and to widen and improve Parsons Avenue from Jackson Street north to a point approximately 200 feet north of Kennedy Drive. This project includes full depth pavement replacement, installation of traffic medians and installation of upgraded tree lawns, street lighting, sidewalks and ADA compliant ramps.

Searches in the Excluded Party List System (Federal) and the Findings for Recovery list (State) produced no findings against XO Communications and Time Warner Cable.
