Explanation
The Transportation Division needs to modify and increase its existing construction contract with Decker Construction Company for the Utility Cut and Restoration Project - 2005 in the amount of $500,000.00. This project consists of backfilling and restoring pavement due to utility contractors excavating in the public right-of-way and streets. Proposal specifications provide the City of Columbus with the option of extending this contract up to three years and the Division's initial and current intention was and is to do so given satisfactory vender performance. Existing unit pricing has been extended and is applicable to this contract modification.

The original contract amount was for $450,000.00 as authorized by Ordinance 0688-2005 passed by City Council May 23, 2005. The first modification was for $32,320.56 as authorized by Ordinance 0104-2006 passed by Council February 6, 2006. This proposed second modification is for $500,000.00. The contract total including all modifications will be $982,320.56.

Decker Construction Company's contract compliance number is 31-0983557; this expires January 12, 2007.

Fiscal Impact: Funding for this contract modification is available from the Morse Road Area Investment project within the 1995, 1999, 2004 Voted Streets and Highways Fund; the Morse Road project was ultimately overbudgeted by virtue of the City receiving more state funding than was originally anticipated. The ordinance at hand transfers $500,000.00 from that project to the Roadway Improvements project to fund the pending contract modification.

Emergency action is requested due to the potential hazard caused to motorists and pedestrians when improper or incomplete restoration of utility excavations occur within the right-of-way.
