Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Safety to issue payment, on behalf of the Division of Fire, to the Department of Public Utilities for the cost of storm sewer inspections associated with Phase 3 of the Fire Pavement Restoration Improvements Project, as legislated by Ordinance 2720-2017 passed 10/30/2017. The Fire Pavement Restoration Improvements project for Stations #6, #12, and #13 include storm water upgrades mandated by the City of Columbus' storm water review. The proposed upgrades, such as installing new manholes, catch basins, and storm pipe require fees for the associated construction inspection deposits. These fees shall be funded by the Public Safety Department in the amount of $54,739.30.
Emergency action is requested in order to expedite these inspections to start as weather allows. The balance of this project is anticipated to start in April 2018, again pending reasonable weather.
Fiscal Impact: This legislation authorizes an expenditure of $54,739.30 from the Safety Voted Bond Fund for storm sewer inspections to be performed by the Department of Public Utilities, as mandated by the City of Columbus' storm water review, associated with pavement restoration improvements at various fire stations.
