Explanation
Background: This legislation authorizes the Public Service Director to enter into a professional services contract with TranSystems Corporation for the Cassady Avenue Traffic Study project for the Transportation Division. The project limits are Cassady Avenue from the Bexley corporate limit north to Agler Road. As development continues to occur in the corridor, this study will determine the number of lanes needed to satisfy future travel demand. This project will also develop typical section treatments for the adjacent residential and business communities. The City of Bexley has expressed an interest in creating a more aesthetic appearance of Cassady Avenue, including a gateway at the Columbus/Bexley border.

Requests for proposals (RFPs) for this work were solicited from design consultant firms and the proposal submitted by TranSystems Corporation was determined to be the lowest, best, most responsive and most responsible of the six (6) proposals received. Prices were determined through negotiation with this consultant. TranSystems' contract compliance number is 43-0839725 (expires December 3, 2005).

Fiscal Impact: Funds in the amount of $467,445.00 are budgeted and available within the Transportation Division's 2004 Capital Improvement Budget in the 1995, 1999 Voted Streets and Highways Improvement Fund in various projects. This ordinance transfers monies from these projects to the Roadway Improvements project as appropriate. At the time that this ordinance is written the existing balance in the Roadway Improvements project is $274,336.85.

Emergency action is requested to allow this study to be completed as soon as possible so that design and construction issue-related decisions can be identified and decided without delay.
