Explanation
Background: This ordinance authorizes The Public Service Director to enter into an agreement with the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) for a Hamilton Road Project which involves rehabilitation and widening of 0.06 miles of pavement and the structure, Hamilton Road over Truro Station Road and a pair of Norfolk and Southern Railroad Tracks. Work also includes the removal and reconstruction of the concrete median and overlay of the existing pavement for the distance required for the Maintenance of Traffic, lying within the City of Columbus. ODOT has agreed to work with the City of Columbus to provide pedestrian access across the bridge once this project has been completed. The bridge is being reconstructed with sufficient width to accommodate pedestrian walkways on both sides. (FRA- SR317-12.23 PID 18786)
Emergency action is requested in order to meet ODOT's schedule to bid this project in May. In order to do so this paperwork needs to be returned to ODOT as soon as possible. The project is scheduled to begin construction in June 2007 and end in October 2007. Bridge Painting is expected to occur in 2008.
Fiscal Impact: The estimated cost of construction for this project is $2,300,000.00. The total share of the cost for the City is now estimated at $0.00, but the estimated amount will be adjusted so that the City's ultimate share of the cost of the improvement shall correspond with the actual cost when said actual costs are determined.
