Explanation

Background: This is consent legislation with the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) for Alum Creek Phase B PID 23953, the widening of Alum Creek Drive from 2 to 5 lanes from Williams Road to SR104 and ALUM CREEK PHASE C for the widening of Alum Creek Drive from 2 to 5 lanes from SR104 to Frebis Avenue.

Emergency action is requested in order to provide this updated ordinance requested by ODOT and to meet ODOT's schedule for this project and to continue the current right of way acquisition and project schedule.

Fiscal Impact: Ordinance 0386-2007 recently passed authorizing the expenditure of $1,200,000.00 for acquisition related activities for Phase B of this project. The City will seek reimbursement as the acquisition progresses at a rate of 80%. ODOT will administer the construction of the project and the City will provide its share of funding to ODOT, now estimated at $3,000,000.00. The construction of Phase B is scheduled to begin in State Fiscal Year 2012 and the current estimated const...
