Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
Ordinance 0135-2010 authorized The Director of Public Service to enter into agreements with the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) for 3 roadway improvement projects.
The DEL-750(Polaris Parkway) Urban Paving Project was one of these projects.
This ordinance authorized the expenditure of $345,788.00 for this Urban Paving Project. This amount was the share of the project estimated by City Staff. In order to expedite the project this amount was legislated prior to receiving the estimated City share from the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT). Once ODOT completed their estimate they informed the City that the estimated City share required prior to the letting of the project was $394,828.00. At that time an additional $49,040.00 was authorized to be expended for this project in ordinance 0693-2010. The project was then let by the Ohio Department of Transportation and bids were higher than expected resulting in an increased share required from the City. ODOT requires this increased local share from the City prior to the beginning of construction. Therefore, it is now necessary to authorize the expenditure of an additional $33,212.00.
This project proposes to resurface DEL-750 (Polaris Parkway) from South Old State Road to Lyra Drive. The scope of work is to perform partial depth pavement reconstruction; plane and resurface pavement with asphalt concrete; and replace pavement markings and loop detectors. (DEL-750-7.26 PID 81909)
43 ADA curb ramps will be added or reconstructed in these project limits as a separate project.
This is an Ohio Department of Transportation resurfacing project and there are no new sidewalks or bike paths associated with the City of Columbus portion of this project to be constructed. All existing bus stops will be preserved and/or maintained and maintenance of traffic plans take into account active bus stops for the project throughout construction.
