Explanation

Background: The City of Columbus is involved with the City of Hilliard and the Ohio Department of Transportation in a project to widen Hilliard Rome Road. This project consists of the widening of Hilliard Rome Road/Main Street from Roberts Road northward to a point just south of Scioto Darby Road. The project length is 3.1 kilometers (1.92 miles). The project includes street lighting, sidewalks, curbs, enclosed drainage, and 3 meter shoulders (10 feet) for a bike lane between the traveled lane of cars and the curb.

The project will be sold through the Ohio Department of Transportation with the City of Hilliard being the lead local agency. Most of the project is within the Hilliard corporate limits. The intersection at Roberts Road is within the corporate limits of the City of Columbus.

The planned sale for the project is in February, 2007. The design consultant is DLZ Ohio. City ordinance 1323-94, passed July 11, 1994 authorized the Public Service Director to enter into a cooperative agreement with the City of Hilliard to share in the design and construction costs of the improvement. The Ohio Department of Transportation will be finalizing the engineering estimate of the project, then will send the estimate to Hilliard for payment of the local share, prior to the sale date. The City of Columbus will need to send its portion of the local funding to Hilliard once Hilliard receives an invoice from ODOT. This legislation is being prepared in advance of the sale so the City of Columbus can send its share of the project in a timely manner. This ordinance authorizes $250,000.00 to be spent for the City of Columbus local share, taking into account the recent trend of higher than expected estimates and addition of contingency funds.

Emergency action is requested to provide payment to the City of Hilliard in advance of the sale of the project for the local share. The City of Hilliard is the lead agency and will be invoiced by ODOT for ...
