Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Service to pay up to $42,109.32 to the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission for administrative costs related to Round 30 grant applications.
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 $8,997,443.00 in Fiscal Year 2017 for the following Round 30 projects: Third Avenue Infrastructure and Bridge Phase 2; Alum Creek Drive Rehabilitation - Frebis to Refugee; and Joyce Avenue Reconstruction Phase 3. The Department of Public Services's share of the administrative cost as determined by MORPC is 0.47% of this total, or $42,109.32. This legislation authorizes that amount.
2. FISCAL IMPACT
Funds in the amount of $42,109.32 are budgeted and available for this expenditure in the Streets and Highways Bond Fund. An amendment to the 2017 Capital Improvements Budget is necessary for the purpose of providing sufficient spending authority for the aforementioned project expenditure.
3. EMERGENCY DESIGNATION
Emergency action is requested for this legislation in order to reimburse MORPC in a timely manner for their administration of Round 30.
