Explanation
Background: Ordinance 0329-2011 authorized the Public Utilities Director to enter into an agreement with and authorized payment to the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) for the installation of three street lighting poles near the Bridge Rehabilitation - US 23 (4th Street) over Convention Center Connector and Railroad project (ODOT FRA-23-12.11 PID 77565), in ODOT District 6.
The agreement consisted of the City committing to pay an estimated amount as prepared by the Ohio Department of Transportation, Office of Estimating; that the total cost and expenses of the lighting portion of the project are only an estimate and may be adjusted by the State. The City agreed that change orders and extra work contracts related to the lighting portion may be required to fulfill the construction contract and shall be processed as needed; and that the State shall not approve a change order or extra contract work related to the lighting portion of the project until it gives notice, in writing, to the City.
At the time of the original legislation the estimated cost of the contract was $15,790.00. At the completion of the project the total cost of the contract was $21,045.15. Resulting in a balance of $6,545.19 to be paid by the Department of Public Utilities.
Emergency action is requested in order to make payment on overages as a result of change orders in order to fulfill the obligations of the original legislation 0329-2011.
Fiscal Impact: A transfer of $6,545.19 within the Electricity G.O. Bonds Fund, Fund 553 and an amendment to the 2014 Capital Improvements Budget is needed to provide sufficient cash and authority in the proper project for the aforementioned expenditure.
