BACKGROUND:
The City of Columbus, Ohio, Department of Public Utilities (“City”), is conducting the South Well-field Expansion Raw Waterline Project (CIP 690359-100000) (“Project”). City Ordinance 0150-2006 originally authorized the Columbus City Attorney to acquire fee simple title and lesser interests, contract for professional services, and spend funds for costs related to the acquisition of the Project’s real property interests.

In order to complete the Project, the Columbus City Attorney needs additional funds to acquire the real property interests for the Project. Therefore, it is necessary for the Columbus City Auditor to increase the Project’s existing Auditor’s Certificate (AC025332) by Fifty-five Thousand and 00/100 U.S. Dollars ($55,000.00) to pay for the Project’s additional acquisitions costs.
