Legislative History

Purpose & Explanation
ODOT has a process that allows local public agencies (LPA) to administer projects that use Federal funding vs. utilizing ODOT for this process. The process requires the LPA (the City of Hudson) to enter into an agreement with ODOT for this process. The agreement requires the City of Hudson to follow the federal process for items such as, contracting invoices, using domestically made materials and the environmental clearance documents. The LPA process allows for more local control in terms of cost and schedule. There is no additional cost to the City for this service, but it will allow the City to control more of the project design and construction administration.
The City is responsible for 100% of the design and environmental fees. The construction and right of way costs funding split is 80%/20% (Federal/City) with the maximum Federal expenditure being $476,000.00. The City's estimated total expenditure is $220,000. The surveying design and bid documents will be completed in 2013-14. The project will be completed in 2015. The limits of the project are SR 91 from SR 303 to Clinton and Aurora Street.
Timing Considerations
None.
Fiscal Impact
Currently Budgeted
Supplemental Appropriation Required (Budget request for design 2013-14 and construction in 2015)
Appropriation Not Required.
Suggested Action
It is recommended that City Council approve the resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into an LPA agreement with ODOT for the SR 91 (N. Main Street) Downtown Corridor Improvements. We are requesting that an emergency clause be added to the resolution in order to expedite the approvals as the project protecst the public welfare and safety.
