Explanation

This legislation authorizes a contract modification with Columbus Engineering Consultants, Incorporated, for design of the Third Street bridges over Nationwide Boulevard and Goodale Street that is necessary but was not included in the original contract (EA 026020-002). The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) is paying for the construction of this project. The original intent was to coordinate the construction with the Third Street over I-670 bridgework that occurred as part of the Spring Sandusky Interchange improvement. After the project was awarded and the consultant began work, ODOT pushed back the funding for the Third Street bridges to state fiscal year 2007. During the evaluation of the bridge the consultant recommended that pier number 6 and a strip seal joint were in need of repair. Rainwater has poured through the nonfunctional finger joint over pier number 6 and caused progressive deterioration. The replacement joint device has also deteriorated and should be changed to a strip seal expansion joint on the Ohio Center Way ramp; this may loosen and fall off if not repaired. The consultant also needs to modify the maintenance of traffic plan that was originally submitted due to the change in ODOT funding. There has also been some direct cost increase due to long delays in the project.

This contract was originally authorized in the amount of $348,698.00 by Ordinance 1757-2000, passed by City Council on July 17, 2000. The proposed design modification cost totals $113,075.00. This is the first modification. The contract cost with the modification is $461,773.00.

Columbus Engineering Consultant's contract compliance number is 31-0716498 and expires April 9, 2005.

Fiscal Impact: The Transportation Division budgeted $120,000 for the contract modification for the Third Street Bridge over Goodale Street under the project Federal/State Match.

Emergency action is requested so that the consultant may continue working on...
