Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
This ordinance authorizes The Director of Public Service to enter into an agreement with the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) for the Rehabilitation of 2.28 miles of South High Street from approximately 440 feet north of Obetz Road to the South approach of the bridge over State Route 104 by means of planing, resurfacing and partial depth pavement repair. (FRA-US Route 23-5.68, PID 82813)

Close to a mile of 5 foot wide sidewalk and 43 handicap ramps will be added in these project limits on both sides of the road by a companion project. The addition of sidewalk within these project limits complies with the recommendation of the Pedestrian Thoroughfare Plan. The Great Southern Shopping Center is a major retail center lying within the project limits and the balance of the project consists of commercial establishments and will benefit from the addition of sidewalks. Pedestrian Quality of Service analyses show a marked improvement in the score by adding sidewalks and ramps. There are no environmental "Green" materials or processes associated with this project except for those environmental practices employed by the Contractor.

2. EMERGENCY DESIGNATION
Emergency action is requested in order to meet ODOT's schedule to bid this project on May 21, 2008. In order to do this paperwork needs to be returned to ODOT by May 13, 2009. The project is scheduled to begin construction in July 2009 and end in September 2009.

3. FISCAL IMPACT
The estimated cost of construction for this project is $800,000.00. The total share of the cost for the City is now estimated at $252,200.00, 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 due to cancellation of encumbrances from completed projects.
