Explanation
Ordinance 2254-2004, passed by City Council on March 28, 2005, authorized a $829,191.00 contract with Complete General Construction Company for construction of the Third Street Resurfacing (FRA-23D-3.22) project for the Transportation Division. This project includes milling the existing pavement, overlaying with new asphalt, replacing localized curb and renovating sidewalk on Third Street between the Nationwide Boulevard bridge and Livingston Avenue. The project also includes resurfacing the Grant Avenue, Third Street, High Street and Front Street bridge decks over IR-70; bridge deck renovations include milling, patching deteriorated concrete sections and resurfacing.

This ordinance is to modify and increase the existing contract by $130,849.70 to add the Fourth Street bridge over IR-70 and account for other contract overruns and under runs. Prices were obtained through negotiations with Complete General Construction Company using past project prices for new items. The State of Ohio has committed to pay for the $80,849.70 portion of this contract modification that is attributable to inclusion of the Fourth Street bridge. This ordinance makes $60,000.00 available for potential unforeseen extras and add-ons, including $50,000.00 to the contractor and $10,000.00 for force account work that may be performed by the Electricity Division to replace underground street lighting conduit disturbed during the construction. Payment of these extra amounts to the contractor and/or the Electricity Division is not automatic and is subject to vigorous administrative scrutiny and approval processes. Obviously, if not needed the extra amounts will not be expended.

Complete General Construction Company's contract compliance number is 31-4366382 (expires March 1, 2008). This is the first contract modification. The total contract authorization including this modification is $960,040.70.
