Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
The Division of Transportation has been working closely with ODOT to secure grant dollars through a Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) funding opportunity. The grant dollars awarded to the City require a 20% match. $640,000 maximum has been allocated by ODOT through CMAQ funds. Therefore, the City’s match on the total $800,000 project is $160,000. The engineer’s estimate is $701,000.
Passage of this Ordinance is required to enable the City of Toledo to accept outside funding for these projects and have it in place to help pay for these expenditures.
