Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
This ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Service to reimburse the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) for costs incurred during the completion of the FRA-71-21.26 project, PID 85688, which encompassed various improvements to the Hudson Street Bridge over I-71.
Ordinance 2454-2013 authorized the Director of Public Service to grant consent and propose cooperation with ODOT relative to that effort and further stipulated that the City agreed to assume one hundred percent (100%) of the total cost of any features requested by the City which were not necessary for the completion of the project.
During the prosecution of the aforesaid work, the City requested that ODOT utilize a non-standard reflective tape material in place of thermoplastic when restoring the pavement markings on the concrete bridge deck, which added to the construction costs.
The purpose of this legislation is to authorize the encumbrance and expenditure of capital funds to satisfy the City’s obligation to ODOT for the project.
2. FISCAL IMPACT
Funding in the amount of $14,868.65 is available in the Streets and Highways Bond Fund within the Department of Public Service for this project expenditure. An amendment to the 2018 Capital Improvement Budget is necessary for the purpose of providing sufficient spending authority for the aforementioned project expenditure.
3. EMERGENCY DESIGNATION
Emergency action is requested to enable the City to reimburse ODOT as soon as practicably possible.
Title
