1. BACKGROUND
This ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Service to make payment to the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission for Round 33 administrative costs of Ohio Public Works Commission infrastructure programs.
The Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission (MORPC) serves as staff to the District Three Public Works Integrating Committee and makes funding awards, in rounds, based on committee recommendations to the Ohio Public Works Commission concerning fund distribution for the State Capital Improvement Program and the Local Transportation Improvement Program. 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 received a total of $8,555,346.00 in FY2019 for the following Round 33 projects: Arterial Street Rehabilitation - James Road; Traffic Signal Installation - Downtown Signals; and Intersection Improvements - Hilliard Rome Road at Feder Road. A condition of the grant awards stated the City agreed to pay an administrative fee of up to 1% of any awarded amount for administrative costs. This ordinance authorizes payment to MORPC in the amount of $36,493.03 to satisfy the local share of administrative costs incurred during the administration of the aforementioned programs, which is 0.43% of the awarded amount.
