Explanation

The Public Service Department, Transportation Division, is engaged in the improvement of Hard Road between Sawmill Road and State Route 315. The roadway will be widened from two to five lanes and incorporate a grade separation (bridge) at intersecting railroad tracks, curbs, sidewalks and storm sewers to accommodate increased traffic and promote pedestrian safety. There are three schools adjacent to the project: Granby Elementary, McCord Middle, and Worthington Kilbourne High. The project has been divided into three phases ("A", "B," and "C"). Phase A is Sawmill Road to Smokey Row Road, Phase B is Smokey Row Road to Linworth Road and Phase C is Linworth Road to State Route 315. Hard Road Phase B is currently under construction. Phase C is under design and will be constructed in 2006.

This contract was modified and increased by $755,712.00 on May 31, 2001, as authorized by Ordinance #0812-2001, passed May 4, 2001 to include the design of Phase C.

This modification provides for additional traffic studies, additional pavement design, updates to new city specifications, revisions to new city standards for Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)-compliant wheel chair ramps, and other design changes.

Including Modification No. 2, the design contract authorization totals $1,703,912.00. URS Corporation's contract compliance number is 94-1716908 and expires January 3, 2005.
