1. BACKGROUND
This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Service to pay $4,486.41 to the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission for Round 29 administrative costs.
The Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission (MORPC) serves as staff to the District Three Public Works Integrating Committee. This committee provides input and makes recommendations to the Ohio Public Works Commission for fund distribution for the State Capital Improvement Program and the Local Transportation Improvement Program. The commission makes funding awards in rounds. MORPC prorates costs to serve as staff for each round to local jurisdictions based upon the total funds ultimately awarded to each jurisdiction.
The Department of Public Service, Division of Design and Construction, received a total of $964,800.00 in FY2016 for the following Round 29 projects: Parsons Avenue between Hosack Street and Livingston Avenue. The division's share of the administrative cost as determined by MORPC is 0.46% of this total, or $4,486.41. This legislation authorizes that amount.
2. FISCAL IMPACT
Funds in the amount of $4,486.41 are available for this invoice in the Streets and Highways Bond Fund within the Department of Public Service.
