Explanation
Background: This legislation authorizes a modification to the design contract with DLZ Ohio, Incorporated, (formerly Dodson-Stilson, Incorporated) for the Hilliard Rome Road project. This project is being designed to reconstruct and widen Hilliard Rome Road from Westchester Woods Boulevard to south of Roberts Road. Total project length is 1.19 miles. The construction includes the addition of three (3) new traffic lanes, sidewalks, tree lawns, bike lanes and utility relocation. It is estimated to have a project start date of June, 2010 and end June, 2012.
The contract modification is necessary to provide additional design services to update plans to incorporate additional comments received on Right-of-Way and roadway plans, design of one (1) additional signal, provide drainage plans not in the original scope, edit field survey and provide as-built plans.

Current hourly rate, the overhead rate and the percentage of profit that were negotiated at the beginning of this project were used to determine the amount of this modification. DLZ Ohio, Incorporated (formerly Dodson-Stilson, Incorporated), CC #311268980, expiration 4/16/09, was selected in 1998 in accordance with Chapter 329 for professional service contracts.
The original contract amount was $438,862.00. The amount of this modification is $54,840.00. The total of all modifications is $358,574.00. The contract amount, including all modifications is $797,436.00.
Emergency action is requested to complete the project design work as soon as possible in order to accommodate the construction commencing January 2, 2010 consistent with the State's schedule.
