Explanation

Background: This Ordinance authorizes the Public Utilities Director to enter into an agreement with and to authorize payment to the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) for the Harrisburg Pike Water Line Improvements Project. This project will reconstruct Harrisburg Pike (U.S. Route 62) and install a new twenty-four (24) inch water main. The limits of the project extend from Belmead Avenue to 500 feet south of Frank Road. When the Division of Power and Water (Water) realized ODOT was going to make improvements to the roadway in the same area, the Division decided to pay ODOT's engineer to design the water line improvements and to include it in their contract.

ODOT plans on bidding this project the first quarter of 2008 and requires pre-payment for the estimated construction cost of the water line no later than December 2007.

This agreement consists of the City committing to pay an estimated amount as prepared by the Ohio Department of Transportation, Office of Estimating; that the total cost and expenses of the project are only an estimate and may be adjusted by the State; that the City agrees that change orders and extra work contracts may be required to fulfill the construction contract and shall be processed as needed; and that the State shall not approve a change order or extra work contract until it gives notice, in writing, to the City.

Emergency action is requested in order to return necessary paperwork to meet ODOT's schedule to bid this project in early 2008.

Fiscal Impact: The cost of construction for this project is estimated at $1,800,000. Once the project is complete, any remaining funds from the water line portion will be returned to the City. A transfer of funds will be needed within the Water Works Enlargement Voted 1991 Bonds Fund as well as an amendment to the 2007 Capital Improvements Budget.
