Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
This ordinance authorizes The Director of Public Service to provide payment to the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) for a resurfacing and curb ramp rehabilitation project on U.S. Route 33 (Dublin Road) from the Marble Cliff south corporation line to the Grandview Heights/Columbus corporation line east of Grandview Avenue. This is an Ohio Department of Transportation project that will also consist of work in a section of Grandview Heights.
This project will plane and resurface pavement on U.S. 33 and rehabilitate curbs ramps and adjacent curbs and sidewalks along portions of U.S. 33 and construct multi use paths on Dublin Road and Urlin Avenue. (FRA-33-12.61 PID 79316)
13 ADA curb ramps will be added or reconstructed as part of this project.
The Ohio Department of Transportation requires payment in advance of bid openings for projects similar to this based on estimates.

Bids were higher than expected and an additional funding is now required from the City. This ordinance authorizes the expenditure of $42,590.00 to provide payment to the Ohio Department of Transportation for the construction of this project.
2. EMERGENCY DESIGNATION
Emergency action is requested in order to meet ODOT's schedule for this project and provide sidewalks and multi use paths at the earliest possible time. Payment is needed by the Ohio Department of Transportation by early August 2012.
