Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Service to modify and increase the construction contract with Gudenkauf Corporation for the Traffic Signal Installation - Columbus Traffic Signal System Phase A project in an amount up to $102,884.32.

The modification will allow for the incoporation of additional utility associated work and fiber optic communication work required as part of an overall project to install conduit, pullboxes, fiber optic cable, and communication cabinets for a communication network to migrate the Columbus traffic signal system to an open architecture that can serve Central Ohio stakeholders with system connectivity and interoperability.

The project will also allow for interagency data exchange for the Departments of Public Service and the Department of Technology as part of the Citywide Connectivity goal.

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. Prices for this modification were negotiated with the contractor by the Division of Design and Construction.

The original contract amount (EL010746) $ 5,520,225.84
The total of Modification No. 1: $ 102,884.32
The total of all prior modifications: $ 0.00
The contract amount including all modifications: $5,623,110.16

Searches in the Excluded Party List System (Federal) and the Findings for Recovery list (State) produced no findings against Gudenkauf Corporation.

Gudenkauf Corporation 's contract compliance number is 310908234 and expires 5/27/12.

3. FISCAL IMPACT
