Explanation

BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Public Utilities Director to enter into an agreement to obtain ownership of a 34.5 kV circuit breaker, associated metal clad switchgear, relaying, and 34.5 kV bus work located at Glick Substation adjacent to the O'Shaughnessy Dam on the Scioto River in southwestern Delaware County, Ohio. This equipment is currently owned by Columbus Southern Power Company and is crucial to the operation of the O'Shaughnessy Hydro Generating Facility. The City of Columbus will pay Columbus Southern Power Company One Dollar ($1.00) to assume ownership and the responsibility of operating and maintaining the equipment. Ownership will allow the Division of Electricity to proceed with a proposed breaker replacement and switchgear modifications project to ensure reliability. In 2003, the City lost approximately $1,200 per day, or over $200,000, while the breaker was being repaired.

Columbus Southern Power Company's contract compliance number is 314154203.

Emergency action is requested in order that the transaction may be completed and ownership transferred so that the modification project may proceed as soon as possible in order to avoid potential equipment failure and subsequent loss of revenue to the City.

FISCAL IMPACT: The cost of one dollar will not impact the Division of Electricity's operating budget, however, the investment will protect future revenue generated from the sale of energy created by the hydro facility.
