Explanation

1. BACKGROUND
This ordinance authorizes The Director of Public Service to enter into an agreement with the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) for a roadway improvement project for the reconstruction of the Interstate 71/Interstate 670 interchange.

Work on this project involves realignment of Interstate Route 670 eastbound so through traffic stays to the left, traffic to Interstate 71 exits to the right, and work on Interstate 71 from over Jack Gibbs to Long Street. Work also includes 20 mainline, ramp and overhead bridges as well as enhanced crossings on Spring Street and Long Street, lying within the City of Columbus. (FRA-City of Columbus IR 71 - 17.76 PID 77369)

This is the first phase of the larger multi-year interstate reconstruction project in downtown Columbus to alleviate congestion and safety issues on the section of Interstate 70 and 71 in the downtown area.

2. EMERGENCY DESIGNATION
Emergency action is requested in order to meet ODOT's schedule for this project. In order to do this paperwork needs to be returned to ODOT by February 11, 2011.

3. FISCAL IMPACT
The estimated City share for this project is $2,463,374.67, but the estimated amount will be adjusted so that the City's ultimate share of the cost of the improvement shall correspond with the actual cost when said actual costs are determined. Funds for the City's share of this project are available within the Build America Bonds Fund.
