Emerald Parkway Phase 8-Riverside Drive to Billingsley Creek Project
Ohio Public Works Commission Round 23 Grant Application
Summary
The District Three Public Works Integrating Committee of the Ohio Public Works Commission
has available grants and/or loans for infrastructure improvements through the State Capital
Improvement Program (SLIP) and/or the Local Transportation Improvement Program (LTIP).
Staff is presently preparing the necessary documentation to complete the required application for
Emerald Parkway Phase 8, Riverside Drive to Billingsley Creek Project, Project No. 07-008-CIP.
The application is due to the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission (MORPC) on September
8, 2008.
The two funding sources available through this grant application are LTIP and SCIP. LTIP
funds are available through the federal government via the per gallon federal gas tax. This
money becomes available July l , 2009 and is distributed through grants only. SCIP funds are
supported by the sale of state bonds. This money is also available July 1, 2009 and is distributed
in the form of grants and loans. No local match is required with the LTIP application, whereas a
50°Io local match is required with the SCIP application.
The total estimated project cost is approximately $13,621,900 which includes final design,
bidding, construction, inspection services, right-of-way acquisition and contingences. To secure
the best possible scoring, staff is requesting approximately $667,473 in grant money under the
LTIP funding process and $2,000,000 as loan money under the SCIP process. The loan is a 0°Io
interest loan for 20-years. Funds received from either source will provide assistance with
upfront cash flow associated with this project. This project will be funded by the TIF districts
(McKitrick, Kroger Centre and Lifetime Fitness) that have designated Emerald Parkway as a
public infrastructure improvement benefiting the property within the districts.
Recommendation
Staff recommends Council approval of Resolution 64-08 authorizing and directing the City
Manager to apply to District Three Public Works Integrating Committee and the Ohio Public
Works Commission for financial assistance for the Emerald Parkway Phase 8, Riverside Drive to
Billingsley Creek Project. Further, Resolution 64-08 will authorize and direct the City Manager
to enter into any agreements as may be necessary and appropriate for obtaining this financial
assistance should the grant receive favorable consideration.
