Explanation
The Public Service Department, Transportation Division, is undertaking the Morse Road Phase I (OPWC) Improvement project. This project is the third of five for the Morse Road - Indianola Avenue to Cleveland Avenue corridor and consists of constructing a landscaped median, curb and gutter, an improved storm drainage system, bike lanes, upgraded traffic signals, sidewalks, street and pedestrian lighting and better access management to reduce accidents and provide pedestrian access.

Ordinance 1844-2005, passed by City Council on December 12, 2005, modified and increased an existing construction contract with Complete General Construction Company, Incorporated, to install additional conduits across Morse Road at Westerville Road to correct numerous deficiencies that compromise that intersection's safety and the City's ability to maintain the signal.

This legislation amends Ordinance 1844-2005 to reflect the expenditure within that Ordinance being made from the State Issue Two Street Project Fund instead of the 1995, 1999, 2004 Voted Streets and Highways Fund. All Morse Road project expenses should be reflected from the same Fund.

Fiscal Impact: The net impact of these changes is zero. In the revised ordinance the amount authorized for expenditure within Ordinance 1844-2005 is first transferred within and from the 1995, 1999, 2004 Streets and Highways Fund to the Local Transportation Improvement Program Fund, appropriated there and authorized for expenditure.

Emergency action is requested to allow for funds to be expended from the proper Fund and to allow the contractor to be properly and expeditiously compensated for work performed.
