Explanation

BACKGROUND: This ordinance authorizes expenditures for construction inspection for a capital improvement project involving traffic signals at the I-670/ Spring Sandusky interchange project. This project will be undertaken in 2003 and pre-engineering inspection activity is now underway. These inspection costs can be capitalized.

FISCAL IMPACT: This project is budgeted within the Transportation Division's 2003 capital improvement program in the 1995, 1999 Voted Streets and Highways Fund. The cash balance of that Fund has been augmented by the cancellation of old encumbering documents for construction inspection charges that are no longer needed for completed projects.

Emergency action is requested to establish a means of billing these construction inspection expenses to the appropriate capital projects as soon as possible to maintain fund cash flow and viability.
