Agenda Report #
TO: Mayor and Council
SUBJECT: Memorandum of Agreement Columbus Water Works - Spiderweb TIA
Project
INITIATED BY: Planning Department
Recommendation: Approve the resolution authorizing the City Manager to
enter into an a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the Columbus Water Works
(CWW) to begin engineering and design for water and sewer relocation associated
with the Transportation Investment Act (TIA) project for the "Spiderweb" area.
Background: The TIA project for the roadway system known as the
"Spiderweb" area will require the reworking of the current Bull Creek bridge.
This is largely due to the age of the present structure and the City's efforts
to address the bridge now, rather than later. In doing so, the current water
and sewer lines under bridge will have to be engineered and eventually moved to
accommodate any improvements.
Analysis: The utility lines under and around the Bull Creek bridge are
owned by the CWW, and will require relocation in order accommodate any
improvements to this structure. An agreement between the City and CWW is
necessary to perform the required engineering and design needed for a project
of this type.
Financial Considerations: This MOA will establish a cost to perform the
required engineering and design work not to exceed $181,000. Funds are
available under
Projected Annual Fiscal Impact Statement: There is no anticipated annual cost
associated with this activity. However, there will be construction costs for
the relocation of these utilities, to be determined at a later date.
