Explanation
1. BACKGROUND:
This ordinance repeals ordinance 2110-2007 and authorizes consent with the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) for a project to overlay the bridge deck on the eastbound I-70 structure over Harper Road and also overlay the eastbound I-70 structure over the Norfolk Southern Railroad. Previously, consent ordinance 2110-2007 was approved by City Council for a deck replacement project for the deck replacement of the I-70 structure over Harper Road. Since that legislation passed the Ohio Department of Transportation changed the scope of the project to be an overlay of the Harper Road over I-70 structure and, due to the close proximity and maintenance of traffic, the overlay of the eastbound I-70 structure over the Norfolk Southern Railroad was added to this project. (FRA-70-10.17 PID 77567)
Since a portion of this project lies within the City of Columbus, this consent ordinance is necessary. Construction of this project is scheduled to begin and end in Spring 2010. This legislation authorizes the Public Service Director to enter into the necessary agreements to complete this project.
2. FISCAL IMPACT:
The estimated total cost of this project is $600,000.00. There is no cost to the City for this project.
