Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Service to execute a contract modification with Woolpert, Inc., to support the provision of additional professional services relative to future improvements to Williams Road.
The Department of Public Service engaged Woolpert to assist in the preparation of a funding application to the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission, including conceptual cost estimates, traffic analysis, and plan sheets.

The purpose of this ordinance is to extend the term of that agreement through December 31, 2019, to facilitate additional analysis and reporting of the data collected during the initial contract term.

The contract compliance number for Woolpert, Inc., is CC001040, which expires March 29, 2019.

4. EMERGENCY DESIGNATION
Emergency action is requested to prevent further delays in the completion and closeout of the aforementioned effort.
