Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
This ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Service to enter into agreement with and provide funding to the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) to construct the FRA-315-0.49 project, PID 76420.
The scope of work for the aforementioned project encompasses resurfacing SR-315 from Sullivant Avenue to the pavement break where the I-670 ramp joins SR-315, which is approximately ¾ mile south of the King Avenue exit and resurfacing SR-315C (Goodale Street) from the I-670 off ramp to Goodale Street, the Michigan Avenue Connector, along the Goodale/Nationwide connector or SR-315, north on Olentangy River Road, to the SR-315 southbound on ramp.
Ordinance 2823-2014 authorized the Director of Public Service to grant consent and propose cooperation with ODOT for this project and noted that the encumbrance and expenditure of requisite project funding costs would be authorized under a separate ordinance. ODOT plans to issue a bid for this work on December 14, 2017, so has now requested a contribution from the City for the City's share of the project cost. ODOT will pay 80% of the project costs and the CIty will pay 20%.
