Explanation

This is consent legislation with the State of Ohio, Department of Transportation (ODOT) for a Bridge Reconstruction Project on the Town/Rich Street over the Scioto River structure. Project limits extend on US62D (Town Street) from approximately Washington Boulevard to Civic Center Drive. Since this project lies within the City of Columbus, this consent ordinance is necessary. The Consultant for the Preliminary Engineering of this project has been selected and funded by the City and construction of this project is scheduled for 2009. This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Service to enter into the necessary agreements to complete this project.

This ordinance repeals ordinance 1794-00 passed on July 31, 2000. This ordinance was a consent and cooperation ordinance with ODOT for the Town/Rich Street Bridge. Since ordinance 1794-00 was passed, the funding agreement has changed. Ordinance 1794-00 stated that ODOT would assume and bear 100% of the right of way and construction costs of the State's highway improvement project. This new ordinance states that ODOT will contribute $17,000,000.00 for the construction of this project and up to $200,000.00 for Right of Way. (FRA-US62D-01.30 PID 17831)

Emergency Action is requested to meet the request of ODOT to provide the necessary consent for this project to maintain the project schedule.

Fiscal Impact: Funding in the amount not to exceed $17,200,000.00 will be provided by ODOT for Right of Way and Construction Costs. Franklin County will contribute $250,000 for Design. An estimated $1,800,000.00 for construction will be contributed from the Federal Transportation Bill and $5,000,000.00 for Design and Construction is estimated from OPWC. The City's estimated costs include $6,769,515.00 for Design and any costs above the funding contributed by ODOT, Franklin County, the Federal Transportation Bill and OPWC. There is no payment required from the City at this time.
