1. BACKGROUND:
This legislation authorizes payment for utility relocation work by Gudenkauf Corporation on behalf of Level 3 Communications for their fiber optic network, and other utilities as necessary in an amount up to $37,210.00.
The Department of Public Service is engaged in the Short North SID - High Street Improvements Phase 1 project. This improvement will replace the sidewalk on the west side of North High Street between Convention Center Way and Goodale Street along with installing landscaping planter beds, street trees, mast arm traffic signal facilities, storm sewers, and waterlines. North High Street will also be planed and overlaid.
In the course of effecting roadway improvements it is sometimes necessary to force the temporary relocation of utilities. Due to this project there is a need to relocate them at the City's expense, currently estimated at $37,210.00. The funding request for utilities relocation reimbursement is based upon estimates from Gudenkauf Corporation. Gudenkauf Corporation will invoice the City for actual costs incurred in relocating Level 3 Communications fiber optic network and other utilities as necessary. The amount needed may exceed the amount requested in this ordinance. Additional legislation will be submitted by the Department of Public Service if additional funds are needed to complete the relocations.
