Explanation

Background:

The Public Service Department, Transportation Division, completed the construction of the Hard Road Phase B Improvement project in 2006. This project consisted of constructing a new railroad bridge, street lighting, traffic signals, storm sewers, waterlines, pavement, curbs, sidewalks, bikelanes, and limiting safety hazards and congestion in the vicinity of three schools. The project limits were Smoky Row Road to the west and Linworth Road to the east. The original $10,698,604.79 construction contract with Trucco Construction Company (CC # 31-1293605, expires 9/15/08) was authorized by Ordinance 0784-2003 and passed by City Council on May 19, 2003. This contract was modified and increased by $200,000.00 to cover the cost of the construction delays caused by untimely utility relocations as authorized by Ordinance 1373-2004 passed by City Council on July 19, 2004. It was later modified by Ordinance 1924-2005 for the amount of $711,112.12 to provide for changes in construction necessitated by actual field conditions. The contract was further modified by Ordinance 0829-2007 for the amount of $925,000.00 on July 23, 2007 where contracted pay items did not exist and for quantity overruns.

The need now exists to further modify and increase this contract by $308,397.38 to adjust final quantities for underruns and overruns of existing contract items necessitated by actual construction and field conditions. The total amount of $314,397.38 amount also includes $6,000.00 for construction inspection. This action resolves all contractual issues and will enable the contract to be closed. This completes a 1.5 mile five-lane improvement providing the citizens of northwest Columbus with a new vehiclular, bike and pedestrian facility.

Fiscal Impact: It is anticipated that as much as $251,517.90 of this modification is eligible for reimbursement by the Ohio Department of Transportation (Federal share). The city is responsible for the...
