The Project consists of two phases as requested by AEP. The Phase 1 Project area includes Franklin Street south of West Bridge Street and the west side of South High Street between West Bridge Street and Short Street. The Phase 2 area includes the east side of South High Street and Blacksmith Lane between West Bridge Street and Short Street. A location map is provided on page three of this memo. At the completion of both phases of the Project, all overhead utility lines and poles along South High Street will be removed between West Bridge Street and Short Street. Presently, this Project is anticipated to be complete by the summer of 2023. The Phase 1 underground improvements are scheduled to be performed in advance of the Franklin Street Improvements Project, which includes road reconstruction, sidewalks, curb ramps, and street trees on Franklin Street between Sells Alley and Waterford Drive. Summary The City engaged MS Consultants, Inc. as the acquisition agent for the Project. In that role, MS Consultants has been the point of contact, in addition to City staff, with the property owners on the Project. Presently, the City has reached agreement with 19 of the 23 affected parcels, with five (5) additional City of Dublin parcels requiring utility easements as well. Beginning in 2022, the City has participated in good faith discussions with all 23 property owners. Although negotiations with the four remaining property owners are ongoing, the City has not been able to reach agreement in terms of the compensation for the needed easements. The City is hopeful that an amicable agreement can still be reached with the property owners; however, this Resolution begins the appropriation process in the event that negotiations are unsuccessful. The four remaining property owners have been made aware the City intends to begin the appropriations process for the necessary easements via a letter from MS Consultants, Inc. In order for the Project to remain on schedule and proceed to construction, a Contract for a Right of Entry Agreement (Agreement) has been executed with the four remaining property owners. The owners acknowledge through the Agreement that the City has the right to enter upon their property for the purpose of constructing utilities, and the City has the right to commence an action Office of the City Manager 5555 Perimeter Drive • Dublin, OH 43017-1090 Phone: 614-410-4400 • Fax: 614-410-4490 Memo Resolutions 18-23 through 21-23 – Intent to Appropriate easements on the South High Street Utility Burial - Phase 1 Project (19-030-CIP) February 21, 2023 Page 2 of 3 to appropriate the property.
