Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
The City of Columbus, Department of Public Service, Division of Design and Construction, is engaged in the Arterial Street Rehabilitation - Alum Creek Drive Phase B/SR104 - Williams Road Project. This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Service to modify and increase the professional engineering services contract for the Arterial Street Rehabilitation - Alum Creek Drive Phase B/SR104 - Williams Road Project with Stantec Consulting Services Inc, in the amount of $96,116.00.

Alum Creek Drive serves as a major connector route between Rickenbacker International Airport, I-270, State Route 104 and I-70 and the proposed improvement will serve several commercial truck terminals and warehouse/distribution facilities located within the project corridor.

This project consists of the widening and reconstruction of approximately 2.07 miles of Alum Creek Drive from Williams Road northward to Performance Way/Refugee Road South. The project has been designed to include the addition of curb and gutter, a closed drainage system and street lighting, as well as 2,275 feet of widening and reconstruction on Williams Road and 850 feet of widening and reconstruction on Watkins Road.

Pedestrian generators and destinations impacting this project include older established residential neighborhoods, newer subdivisions, apartment homes, senior residential facilities, churches, schools, day care facilities, and neighborhood oriented retail shops including fast food establishments and gas stations within the project corridor. Also as part of this project 4 miles of 8 foot wide shared use paths will be added or reconstructed on both sides of Alum Creek Drive within the project limits; installation of 6 foot wide sidewalks on those portions of each side street within the project limits; and the construction or reconstruction of 88 ADA ramps at appropriate locations including intersections, service drives and driveways.
