Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Service to reimburse the Division of Power and Water(Power) for costs incurred for Utility relocation expenses performed by City crews on the Williams Roadway and Stormwater Pump Station Replacement Project.

The City of Columbus, Department of Public Service, Division of Design and Construction, and the Department of Public Utilities, Division of Sewerage and Drainage, recently completed the Williams Roadway and Stormwater Pump Station Replacement Project. This project increased the vertical clearance from 13'-2" to 14'-6" on Williams Road at the railroad bridge located between Lockbourne Road and Groveport Road and installed a new storm system and pump station to relieve long standing flooding occurrences at this underpass.

As part of this project The City of Columbus Division of Electricity relocated several utility poles. The estimated cost of this relocation was included in the cost of the project, but after completing the relocation the actual cost exceeded the amount allocated. It is now necessary to authorize additional funding to pay for this relocation expense.

2. EMERGENCY DESIGNATION
Emergency action is requested to allow immediate expenditure of the necessary funds so that this reimbursement may proceed immediately and insure proper accounting practices.

3. FISCAL IMPACT
Funding in the amount of $22,905.50 was previously established in ordinance 0796-2009. Additional funding needed in the amount of $22,953.17 is available in the Build America Bonds Fund for this reimbursement for the Division of Design and Construction. This funding will transferred to the Williams Road Grant and expended from there.
