Explanation
Background: Ordinance No. 1051-2008 was passed by Columbus City Counsel on July 21, 2008. This Ordinance authorized the Public Service Director to enter into a contract for the Seventh Avenue water line improvements.
Contract Number EL008507 was initially established with Columbus Asphalt Paving Inc. The contract number had to be cancelled as it was set up incorrectly. When the Transportation Division tried to re-encumber the funds, it was discovered that appropriation and actual cash did not align.
Therefore, the Department of Public Utilities, Division of Power and Water requests that the City Auditor's Office appropriate the amount of $68,201.00 so it will align with actual cash, and the Transportation Division can re-establish funds needed for the project.
Fiscal Impact: Project Number 690236 in the Water Works Enlargement Voted Bonds Fund will have increased appropriation of $68,201.00.
