Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Service to modify and increase the professional engineering services contract for the Resurfacing - General Engineering Contracts 2008 #4 with Prime Engineering and Architecture, in the amount of $125,000.00.

This contract has been used for various projects that spent down the total value. Once it was determined to use Prime Engineering for the Roadway Improvements -Riverview Drive from Olentangy River Road -West Terminus project, it was necessary to modify the contract rather than a start a separate procurement effort due to the planned construction funding schedule.

The original consultant went out of business which requires the City to use a different consultant to perform these updates. Prime Engineering was selected as the City already has a contract with them which will allow the completion of the plan updates to meet the 2013 construction requirement.

The original contract was $250,000 authorized by ordinance 0563-2008(EL008483).
Ordinance 0293-2010 authorized modification #1 to remove the 2 year timeframe for the contract.
Modification #2 in the amount of $50,000.00 authorized by ordinance 0046-2011 for design of curb ramps constructed in association 2011 resurfacing projects.
The Amount of this Modification #3 is $125,000.00.
