Explanation
The Public Service Department, Transportation Division, is pursuing facility improvement projects at two outpost locations. Funds are needed to continue and/or complete these projects as identified below.

Pole barn kits were purchased previously using division operating funds. These kits will be assembled at the Division's Roberts Road and Lockbourne Road outposts using division labor. The assembled pole barns will shelter street maintenance equipment (dump trucks, street sweepers and so forth) from the elements to prolong their longevity. The labor costs incurred to construct these pole buildings will be capitalized. In addition, funds are needed for permits and electrical hook-ups for lighting and ancillary purposes.

The division has procured a trailer from the Water Division. This trailer is now located at the Roberts Road outpost where it will provide separate male/female employee shower facilities and locker space, additional meeting space and office space. Funds are needed for permits, foundation work and utility hookups to permanently install the trailer at the site.

Finally, the division plans to construct new salt storage facilities at the Roberts Road and Lockbourne Road outposts. These buildings will increase the City's salt storage capacity and make it less susceptible to delivery disruptions. Ordinance 1014-2005 passed by City Council July 25, 2005 authorized the purchase of architect-certified plans for these barns at a cost of $17,500.00. Funds are currently needed for pre-construction requirements: survey work, soil testing and permits. Funding for the construction of these buildings was included in the fall 2005 bond sale.

This legislation identifies and authorizes $105,000.00 for the purposes of payment of survey work, soil testing, permits, utility hook-ups and labor costs as appropriate for these facility improvement projects.
