This ordinance seeks authorization for the Director of the Department of Public Service to enter into a Design Guaranteed Maximum Reimbursement Agreement with Daimler Group, Inc., for up to $171,353.13 to design the Roadway improvements - KIPP School project.
The City of Columbus and Daimler Group, Inc. are engaged in a Public-Private Partnership (3P) to make roadway improvements along Agler Road from 400’ west of Clubhouse Drive to Sunbury Road in support of the redevelopment of the former Bridgeview Golf Course for the new KIPP Journey Academy at 2738 Agler Road (KIPP Journey). The project is located in the northeast quadrant of Columbus at the northwest corner of Agler Road and Sunbury Road.
Daimler Group, Inc. anticipates completing construction of the new school by August 2014 with roadway improvements along Agler Road between 400’ west of Clubhouse Drive and Sunbury Road in place to support KIPP Journey’s immediate access needs for the beginning of the 2014-2015 school year.

Curb and gutter will be removed and reinstalled on both sides of the roadway adjacent to the widening. Five foot wide sidewalks will be constructed, replacing the existing four foot walks along both sides of the roadway within the project limits, except for on the existing bridge over Alum Creek. Pedestrian lighting and street trees will be provided. Traffic control devices (signage and pavement markings) will be installed. Existing storm sewer drainage system will be modified to accommodate the proposed pavement widening.
