Explanation
Background: This ordinance authorizes The Public Service Director to enter into an agreement with the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) for the resurfacing of 2.08 miles of South High Street, lying within the City of Columbus, beginning at State Route 104, suspended at Lawn Avenue resuming at Barthman Avenue, and ending at Livingston Avenue by means of planing, resurfacing, and partial depth pavement repair.
Emergency action is requested in order to meet ODOT's schedule to bid this project on January 9, 2008. In order to do this, paperwork needs to be returned to ODOT by December 28, 2007. The project is scheduled to begin construction in May and end in August 2008.
Fiscal Impact: The estimated cost of construction for this project is $750,000.00. The total share of the cost for the City is now estimated at $292,136.00, 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 actual costs are determined. Funds for the City's share of this project are budgeted in the 2007 Transportation Division Capital Improvement Budget.
