Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
This ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Service to execute an agreement with the Ohio Department of Transportation relative to the construction of the FRA-315-0.49 (SR 315 Resurfacing) project, PID 76420, and to contribute additional funding for that purpose.
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 relative to that effort, and Ordinance 2951-2017 authorized the Director of Public Service to enter into agreement with and to provide funding to ODOT in the amount of up to $220,000.00 to pay the local share of estimated construction costs.
The apparent low bid, received by ODOT on December 14, 2017, exceeded the original cost estimate. As such, the proportionate share of construction costs to be borne by the City has increased. The purpose of this legislation is to authorize the encumbrance and expenditure of additional funds in the amount of $35,472.00 to satisfy the City’s cost share obligation to ODOT for the project.
2. FISCAL IMPACT
Funding in the amount of $35,472.00 is available in the Streets and Highways Bond Fund within the Department of Public Service for this project expenditure.
3. EMERGENCY DESIGNATION
Emergency action is requested to allow ODOT to maintain the planned construction schedule and to promote highway safety.
