Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
This ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Service to modify a professional services contract with Dynotec, Inc. to add additional funds for design of the Bikeway Development - Tussing Road SUP Brice Road to Hines Road project.
The intent of this project is to provide the City of Columbus with the design for a new shared use path (SUP) along the south side of Tussing Road from Brice Road to Hines Road.
Ordinance 1794-2021 authorized the Director of Public Service to enter into a professional services contract with Dynotec, Inc. for the Bikeway Development - Tussing Road SUP Brice Road to Hines Road project. This ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Service to modify the contract in the amount of $90,000.00.

1.3 Reason other procurement processes are not used:
Dynotec is prime consultant on the Tussing Road SUP Project. The amount being requested is for the consultant and project team to perform the following services: a) R/W Plan development, b) temporary R/W staking, c) setting R/W pins after construction, d) pedestrian signal upgrades, and e) on-going services during bidding...
