Explanation

This legislation authorizes a design contract modification for the Group 7 Intersection Improvement project. The project is being designed to rehabilitate four intersections (Courtright Road and Groves Road, Fifth Avenue and McKinley Avenue, High Street and Obetz Road and Hague Avenue and Sullivant Avenue) and two roadways (Sullivant Avenue from Wilson Road to Demorest Road and Demorest Road from Sullivant Avenue to Glorious Road). The Franklin County Engineer's Office has started design work to improve Sullivant Avenue from Georgesville Road to Wilson Road, adjacent to the west side of Group 7 Intersection Improvement of Sullivant Avenue. Additional work is necessary for re-designing the wheelchair ramps and sidewalks along Sullivant Avenue and Demorest Road in order to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act and the City's new standard design requirements. This modification is an addition to the original scope of services but is a continuation of existing work being performed and would not be practical to contract with a different consultant. Design rates negotiated at the beginning of this project were used to determine the amount of this modification. Korda Nemeth Engineering, Incorporated was originally awarded the contract in accordance with City Code Chapter 329 as it relates to professional service contracts.

Emergency action is requested for immediate modification of the design contract and to keep this project on schedule.

Fiscal Impact: Funding for this modification is available from cancellations within the Resurfacing project within the 1995, 1999 Voted Streets and Highways Fund. This ordinance transfers funding between projects within this Fund as required and authorizes the contract modification and expenditure. Contract Compliance number is 31-0922991, expiration date of July 25, 2005. The original contract amount was $266,523.00. The total of this and all modifications is $398,592.00.
