Explanation
This legislation modifies and increases the existing consultant contract with DLZ, Ohio, for the design of the new Main Street Bridge project over the Scioto River in an amount up to $687,081.00.
Due to the complexity and unique design of this landmark structure, the consultant has encountered additional design costs that could not have been anticipated earlier. There have also been additional meetings that were required by the Ohio Department of Transportation. Finally, the City has expanded the scope of the project by including the design of the adjacent West Bank Park.
The original contract amount was for $1,953,625.00. The total of all modifications is $2,838,137.00. The total contract amount with modifications will be $4,791,762.00.
DLZ's contract compliance number is 31-1268980 and expires May 1, 2005.
Emergency action is requested so that design work can continue to proceed in a timely manner.
Funds for the bridge design-related modification ($451,042.00) are available from cancellations within the 1995, 1999 Voted Streets and Highways Fund. This ordinance transfers this money to the Federal-State Highway Engineering Fund, appropriates it there and authorizes its expenditure. Funds for the design of West Bank Park ($236,039.00) are available within the Recreation and Parks Grant Fund, Scioto Peninsula Phase II Development grant, and this ordinance authorizes that this sum be expended as well.
