Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Service to modify a professional services contract with Evans Mechwart Hambleton & Tilton (EMH&T) to add funds for design of the Roadway Improvements - Scioto Peninsula project.
This project involves the preparation of detailed design plans for new pavement, curb, sidewalks, storm sewer, water main, sanitary sewer, street and pedestrian lighting, landscaping, signals, undergrounding overhead utilities, and all appurtenances within the Scioto Peninsula. The Scioto Peninsula is the areas bounded by the Scioto River and the Norfolk Southern Railroad. The purpose of this project is to upgrade the existing infrastructure to accommodate future development.
Ordinance 0790-2014 authorized the Director of Public Service to enter into a professional services contract with EMH&T for the Roadway Improvements - Scioto Peninsula project. This ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Service to modify the contract in the amount of up to $117,750.00.
This is a planned modification that is necessary to add funds to cover the cost of waterline design work in the current and upcoming design phases of this project. The current consultant, EMH&T, estimated the additional DOW design funds that would be required to finish the current waterline design phase and upcoming waterline design phases of the Scioto Peninsula project. It was deemed to be more cost efficient to modify the existing contract than to bid this part of the work.
The original contract amount: $3,090,000.00 (EL015681, Ord. 0790-2014)
The total of Modification No. 1: $117,750.00 (This Ordinance)
The contract amount including all modifications: $3,207,750.00
