Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
The City of Columbus, Department of Public Service, Division of Design and Construction currently holds a contract with CTL Engineering, Inc. for materials testing and inspection. This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Service to modify and increase this contract with CTL Engineering, Inc. in the amount of $140,000.00.
Work performed to date on this contract includes Soil classification, asphalt lab support, concrete/asphalt plant mix inspection and preliminary field investigation, batch plant inspections at various Ready-Mixed Concrete and Hot-Mixed Asphalt plants, provide density data on all construction projects with asphalt pavement layers in compliance with Construction and Materials Specifications, supplement the City laboratory sampling and coring program, review and verify concrete and asphalt mixes submitted by suppliers / producers on an annual basis before incorporation in the City approved list.
This contract is being modified because the City has an obligation under a 3-year contract with CTL Engineering, Inc. This contract with CTL Engineering, Inc. is necessary to support materials testing activities.

Consultant activities depend on the actual volume of work performed for the yearly construction season; such activities vary depending on projects letting and delivery and hence dictate a need for a contractual period more than one year to support City QC/QA and testing.
The original contract amount was $19,900.00.
Modification #1 was authorized by ordinance 0986-2010 in the amount of $31,860.00.
Ordinance 0488-2011 authorized modification #2 in the amount of $100,000.00.
This ordinance authorizes a modification of $140,000.00 to the contract for additional testing needs for the 2012 construction season.

The total contract amount including this modification is $291,760.00.
