Explanation

Background: This legislation authorizes a modification to the design contract with American Structurepoint, Incorporated, (formerly American Consulting, Incorporated) for the John Glenn Avenue project. This project is being designed to widen and reconstruct John Glenn Avenue from Alum Creek Drive to Shook Road. Total length of the project is 3,168 feet.

This ordinance also officially recognizes the company name change from American Consulting, Incorporated to American Structurepoint, Incorporated and authorizes the Public Service Director to assign all past, present, and future City of Columbus business transactions with American Consulting, Incorporated to American Structurepoint, Incorporated as required by the City Auditor's office

This contract modification is necessary to provide additional design services for a road survey and to design an off-site storm sewer to provide storm drainage that meets the best management practice for storm water requirements (work not required in original scope of services).

This modification is an addition to the original scope of services but is a continuation of the existing work being performed and it would not be practical to contract with a different consultant.

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. American Structurepoint, Incorporated (formerly American Consulting, Incorporated), CC#351127317, expiring 1/27/08, was selected in 2006 in accordance with Chapter 329 for professional service contracts.

The original contract amount was $260,000.00. The amount of this modification is $48,000.00. The total of all modifications is $48,000.00. The contract amount, including all modifications is $308,000.00.

Emergency action is requested for immediate modification of the design contract for the earliest possible completion of the design to stay on sche...
