Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Service to enter into contract with HDR Engineering, Inc., the amount of up to $450,000.00 for the Intersection Improvements - Roberts Road at Spindler Road contract.
The intent of this project is to provide the City of Columbus preliminary and final engineering for improvements to the intersection of Roberts Road at Spindler Road. Design will proceed in two parts. This ordinance will allow the Director of Public Service to enter into contract for Part 1, preliminary engineering. The Director anticipates doing a planned modification for Part 2 for final engineering at a later date. The specific scope of work for Part 2 will be developed upon completion of Part 1.
It is anticipated that the constructed project will install a traffic signal at the intersection of Roberts Road at Spindler Road and widen Roberts Road at this intersection to install a westbound left turn lane. Additional improvements will be determined upon completion of a traffic study of both the Roberts at Spindler intersection and the Roberts at Frazell intersection. Alternatives will be developed with considerations to complete street improvements and to the recently completed Franklin County Engineer and ODOT projects in the area. Part 1 will determine the major project elements. The remaining Preliminary Engineering and Final Engineering will be performed in Part 2.
The Department of Public Service, Office of Support Services, solicited Requests for Proposals for the Intersection Improvements - Roberts Road at Spindler Road contract. The project was formally advertised on the Vendor Services web site from November 29, 2012, to December 20, 2012. The city received six (6) responses. All proposals were deemed responsive and were fully evaluated when the Evaluation Committee met on January 10, 2013.
