1. BACKGROUND
This ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Service to enter into professional services contracts with HDR Engineering, Inc. in the amount of up to $500,000.00 for the Roadway Improvements - Multimodal Corridor Planning and Design 2021 project.
The intent of this project is to provide the City of Columbus, Department of Public Service, general engineering and transportation planning services to evaluate select corridors throughout the city for new designs that are able to better address the mobility demands of the larger transportation system. Tasks may require traffic analysis, bikeway planning, transit considerations, consideration of pedestrian infrastructure, parking analysis, placemaking, and other services as needed to complete a study.
