Explanation

Background: The Department of Finance and Management, Office of Construction Management on behalf of the Public Service Department, Construction Management Division ("City"), is renovating and repowering that City owned building commonly known as 2077 Parkwood, Columbus, Ohio ("Building #2"). The building is presently being use by Public Service personnel as storage of various low value equipment and materials. In order to extend power to Building #2, the City desires to grant the Columbus Southern Power Company ("AEP") a perpetual non-exclusive overhead utility easement over the north border of City owned real property, which includes ownership of the existing utility pole within the easement. The Department of Finance and Management, Office of Construction Management has determined that the use of municipal power to service the building would require costly circuit upgrades south of the property, which would be beyond the means of the project area. Therefore, it is in the best interest of the City to grant AEP the easement at no charge, including ownership of the existing utility pole, which would then be AEP's responsibility to maintain and replace. The following legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Finance and Management to execute those instruments necessary to grant the requested easement.

Fiscal Impact: N/A

Emergency Justification: Emergency action is requested as not to delay the benefit to the City, which will result from the construction and installation of the electric power line.
