Explanation

1. BACKGROUND
This legislation authorizes the appropriation and expenditure of funds received from Delaware County for construction administration and inspection services for the Intersection Improvements -- South Old State at Polaris Parkway project, and to refund any unexpended money deposited with the City after final accounting for the project.

The Department of Public Service received funds in the amount of $1,200,000.00 from Delaware County for performing various construction administration services during and after the completion of said project. Delaware will deposit additional funds if they are required. Delaware intends to construct or cause to be constructed certain improvements to the intersection of South Old State and Polaris Parkway including the reconstruction and widening of 2.08 miles of South Old State from two lanes with turn lanes at the existing intersection to a 5-lane facility, the installation of sidewalk along the east side of the road, and a 10-foot shared use path along the west side of the road. The City of Columbus shall provide construction administration services for the project and Delaware will pay the City for providing these services.

2. FISCAL IMPACT
Funding for the construction administration services are available in the Department of Public Service Street & Highway Imp. (Non-Bond) Fund 7766. The City may want to contribute funds to the project to pay some of the construction administration expenses. If that should happen, those funds will be legislated for City Council approval under a separate ordinance.
3. EMERGENCY DESIGNATION
Emergency action is requested to allow for the appropriation and expenditure of these funds so as to allow this project to proceed in accordance with the schedule set by Delaware.
