Explanation

Background: This legislation authorizes a modification to the design contract with Eriksson Engineering Limited for the Minnesota Avenue, Riverview Drive and Elmore Avenue project. This project will reconstruct each roadway and improve drainage. The project limits for this design contract are Minnesota Avenue from Joyce Avenue to Parkwood Avenue, Riverview Drive from its west terminus to Olentangy River Road and Elmore Avenue from Karl Road to the east corporation limit.

The contract modification is necessary to separate out each roadway so that it can be bid as a separate project, provide additional improvements beyond the original scope of work at the intersection of Riverview Avenue and Olentangy River Road, revise curb ramp designs because ramp design standards have changed since this project was originally awarded and re-design Elmore Avenue to include sidewalks and curbs as required by new city directives. This modification is an addition to the original scope of services but is a continuation of the existing work being performed and would not be practical to contract with a different consultant. Current hourly rates, 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. Eriksson Engineering Limited, contract compliance #31-0795972 (expires October 15, 2006), was selected in 2000 in accordance with Chapter 329 for professional service contracts.

Fiscal Impact: The original contract amount was for $317,225.00. This is the first modification. The total cost of this modification is $208,000.00. The total cost of the contract with this modification is $525,225.00.

The Transportation Division budgeted $2.1 million in the 2004 Capital Improvements Budget for Roadway Improvements. This ordinance authorizes $208,000.00, which is budgeted in the Roadway Improvements project as part of the 1995, 1999 Voted Streets and Highways Fun...
