Explanation
The City of Columbus, Public Service Department, Transportation Division and the City of Hilliard, in cooperation with the State of Ohio and the Federal Highway Administration, are engaged in the widening and improvement of Hilliard-Rome Road/Main Street from Roberts Road north to Hilliard Cemetery Road. The City of Hilliard will administer the acquisition of the necessary right-of-way for this project.

Fiscal Impact: This is a City/State/Federal participation project with eighty percent (80%) of the total right-of-way costs for this project being paid out of Federal funds. The City of Columbus will pay twenty percent (20%) of the cost for acquisition of that right-of-way located within the City of Columbus municipal boundaries. It is currently estimated that right-of-way acquisition costs for the City parcels will be $1,300,000.00.

The Transportation Division budgeted $6,500,000.00 in the 2004 Capital Improvements Budget for federal/state projects. This ordinance authorizes the expenditure of $1,300,000.00 that is budgeted within the Federal State Match project in the 1995, 1999 Voted Streets and Highways Fund.

Emergency action is requested to allow right-of-way acquisition-related activities to commence without delay so that construction can begin as currently scheduled. Right-of-way acquisition and utility relocation activities traditionally take two years to complete. Construction of this improvement project is slated to begin in early 2006 requiring right-of-way acquisition to be complete by September 1, 2005, to allow the utilities time to relocate before construction begins. Emergency action is requested to allow right-of-way acquisition-related activities to commence without delay so that construction can begin as currently scheduled.
