This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Service to modify and increase the professional engineering services contract for the General Engineering 2008 Contract with Resource International Inc, in the amount of $100,000.00.
Work to date includes: Preparation of resurfacing plans, worksheets for ADA ramp designs, retaining wall designs, bikeway design plans, asphalt plant mix inspection, design of bridge rehabilitation plans, geotechnical studies and plans for safety improvements at a high crash location. Also, additional geotechnical studies for slope stabilization projects, plans for safety improvements, bridge rehabilitation projects and other engineering analysis and reports.
It is anticipated that work will involve the completion of design services for the Stygler Road project and completion of a safety study and preliminary design for the intersection of Innis Road and Sunbury Road.
2,640 feet of 7 foot wide sidewalk will be added or reconstructed in this project on the West side of the road.

After consultation with the consultant a revised fee was developed which exceeded the funds remaining on the general engineering contract.
The original contract was $250,000.00 authorized by ordinance 0563-2008.
