Explanation
The Town Street Bridge over the Scioto is structurally deficient and in need of replacement. This legislation authorizes a modification and increase to the existing design contract with Burgess and Niple for the Town Street Bridge over the Scioto River project. When the original scope of this project was determined the extent of the coordination with the Downtown Business Plan was unknown. This coordination effort caused a delay in the original schedule of the project. This delay has resulted in additional salary, overhead, exchange rate, and direct costs to this consultant.
Additional items have been added to the original scope of services, including preparation of right-of-way plans to the Ohio Department of Transportation specifications, Scioto West Bank Park construction contract documents, 404/401 and FEMA permit for West Bank Park, East Bank Park construction contract documents and a Historic American Engineering Record (HAER) document.
This ordinance authorizes a modification to the current contract with Burgess and Niple for the following services requested beyond the original scope of $38,100.00; $95,844.00 for costs associated with an extended project schedule; $16,600.00 for right-of-way plans; $357,000.00 for West Bank Park; $353,300.00 for East Bank Park, and $14,944.00 for a Historic American Engineering Record (HAER). These additions total $875,788.00. The Transportation Division share of these additional items is $165,488.00. The Recreation and Parks portion of this modification is $710,300.00.
Burgess and Niple's contract compliance number is 31-0885550 and expires December 12, 2005.
Fiscal Impact: The Transportation Division budgeted $150,000.00 in Bridge Improvements for the Town Street Bridge design modification. This ordinance authorizes $165,488.00 in the Transportation Division Capital Budget. The additional funding of $15,488 for Transportation Division will be transferred from the Federal/State project due to an underrun in the amount required to pay MORPC for support services for the SCIP and LTIP programs.
Additional funding in the amount of $710,300 is available from Recreations and Parks Department grants.
Emergency action is requested so that the consultant may continue working on this project and meet the current Ohio Department of Transportation schedule.
