Explanation
Background: This ordinance authorizes The Public Service Director to enter into an agreement with the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) for the resurfacing of 2.95 miles of State Route 3 (Westerville Road), from just north of the intersection of State Route 3 and Cleveland Avenue and proceeding to just south of the intersection of State Route 3 and Morse Road, lying within the City of Columbus. ODOT's project plans also include an unrelated resurfacing of FRA-62-23.21 within the City of Gahanna. That portion of the project is not within the City of Columbus and has no project or cost implication to the City of Columbus.
Emergency action is requested in order to meet ODOT's schedule to bid this project on April 18, 2007. In order to do this paperwork needs to be returned to ODOT by April 13, 2007. The project is scheduled to begin construction in May and end in September 2007.
Fiscal Impact: The estimated cost of construction for this project is $860,000.00. The total share of the cost for the City is now estimated at $66,140.00, but the estimated amount will be adjusted so that the City's ultimate share of the cost of the improvement shall correspond with the actual cost when said actual costs are determined. Funds for the City's share of this project are budgeted in the 2006 Transportation Division Capital Improvement Budget.
