Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
This ordinance authorizes additional payment to the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) for work performed in conjunction with the FRA-Columbus Camera Upgrade project, PID 95530, which resulted in the installation of new traffic surveillance cameras at forty locations within the City of Columbus.
Ordinance 1973-2013 authorized the Director of Public Service to grant and propose cooperation with ODOT for the aforementioned project.
Ordinance 0587-2014 authorized the Director of Public Service to enter into agreements with and provide funding to ODOT to support the construction of that project. Pursuant to that legislation, the Department of Public Service deposited $339,631.00 with ODOT based on preliminary estimates of equipment, construction, and inspection costs. However, the actual costs incurred during the completion of the aforesaid work were higher than anticipated, thereby increasing the local share of project costs.
2. FISCAL IMPACT
Funding in the amount of $24,643.25 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 to provide sufficient budget authority for the appropriate project.
3. EMERGENCY DESIGNATION
Emergency action is requested to reimburse ODOT for outstanding construction and inspection costs as soon as reasonably practicable.
