Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
This ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Service to enter into a design reimbursement agreement with TechSouth Development Co., LLC for the amount of $173,351.21.

The Project includes design of a new public road from the intersection of Frebis Avenue and Gilbert Street to the intersection of the Tech South Public Road and Jenkins Avenue (approximately 900 feet). The Tech South Public Road will align with Gilbert Street at Frebis Avenue and with an existing driveway for the Tech South development at Jenkins. The project also includes a new public road (Tech South Public Road) from Jenkins Avenue to Markison Avenue (approximately 630 feet) that will follow the East property line of the Tech South property and 750 feet of new storm sewer along Jenkins Avenue to 18th Avenue. Some demolition of existing parking lots, concrete walls, concrete slabs and other pavement will be required. Minor coordination will be required to relocate some American Electric Power facilities within the limits of the project. Proposed improvements will include new pavement, sidewalk, curb, storm sewer, and street lighting.

developable space.
