1. BACKGROUND
The Department of Public Service is engaged in the Bridge Rehabilitation - Ohio Center Way Over Conrail North of Structure 1 West of Third project. This ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Service to pay up to an additional $33,897.00 to CSX Transportation, Inc. (CSX) for this project. This project is in the Downtown Community Planning Area (CPA 18).
This project requires cooperation with the Railroad within the project limits for project work done on or near the railroad. CSX is the only company that can be contracted with to perform this work on their railroad. Ordinance 2932-2015 was passed by Council on 11/23/15 authorizing Public Service to enter into agreements with CSX for this project and approval to expend up to $125,000.00 to reimburse CSX for their engineering review and construction inspection costs for this project. The contract amount of $125,000.00 was based upon the preliminary estimate provided to Public Service by CSX. That contract has not yet been put into place pending a final cost estimate from CSX. The CSX final estimate requires an additional $33,897.00.
