Explanation
BACKGROUND: The City’s Department of Public Utilities (“DPU”) is engaged in acquiring real estate for the Intermodal Sanitary Subtrunk Extension Project (CIP 650491-100007) (“Public Project”). City must acquire in good faith and accept certain fee simple and lesser real estate located in the vicinity of Northern Pickaway County near Rickenbacker International Airport (collectively, “Real Estate”) in order for DPU to complete the Public Project. Accordingly, DPU requested the City Attorney to acquire the Real Estate in good faith and contract for associated professional services (e.g. surveys, title work, appraisals, etc.) in order for DPU to timely complete the Public Project. The City initially passed Ordinance 3002-2019 authorizing the expenditure of $525,000.00 for the project and DPU has now determined that an additional $100,000.00 will be needed.
CONTRACT COMPLIANCE: Not applicable.
FISCAL IMPACT: One Hundred Thousand and 00/100 U.S. Dollars ($100,000.00), is required and budgeted for the City Attorney to acquire the Real Estate and DPU determined it will come from the Sanitary General Obligation Bond Fund 6109. It is necessary to transfer and expend up to $100,000.00 within Fund 6109. An amendment to the 2020 Capital Improvement Budget is also needed to align expenditures.
EMERGENCY JUSTIFICATION: Emergency action is requested in order to acquire the Real Estate and allow DPU to timely complete the Public Project without unnecessary delay, which will preserve the public peace, health, property, safety and welfare.
