Explanation

The City of Columbus, Public Service Department, Transportation Division, is engaged in that project identified as the Lockbourne Road Culvert Replacement Project. The purpose of this project is to remove the existing box culvert crossing Lockbourne Road just north of State Route 104 and replace it with a 72" storm sewer conduit and a headwall at the west end of the proposed storm sewer. This work requires ditch regrading along the west side of Lockbourne Road. The City will need to acquire both permanent and temporary construction easements to complete this project as designed. The following legislation establishes the funding required to complete the property acquisition needed for this project; authorizes the City Attorney to acquire these property rights on behalf of the City and authorizes the City Attorney to expend those funds necessary to complete the acquisitions. Construction will begin as soon as the easements are obtained and will take approximately 90 days to complete.

Fiscal Impact: Acquisition related expenses including title services, appraisal services, City Attorney staff and land costs are estimated to be $20,000.00. This project is budgeted in the 2006 Transportation Division Capital Improvements Budget in the 1995, 1999, 2004 Voted Streets and Highways Fund City Bridge Rehabilitation Project.

Emergency Justification: The existing box culvert is deteriorated and construction of the new storm sewer must begin as soon as possible. Right-of-way acquisition must be completed before construction can begin therefore, it is immediately necessary to fund the acquisition process and to authorize the City Attorney to begin acquisition related activities.
