Explanation

This legislation authorizes a modification and increase to the design contract with Barr Engineering, Incorporated for the North High Street - Flint Road to Delaware County Line project. This project will widen High Street by one lane in each direction, add sidewalks and curb ramps and includes some traffic signal work. The limits for this project are from Flint Road to the Delaware County line. The contract modification is necessary to update the curb ramp plans to current specifications so that this project can start construction in the spring of 2006. This modification is an addition to the original scope of services and 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. Barr Engineering, Incorporated, contract compliance #31-1347309 (expires 11/18/2006) was selected in 1996 in accordance with City Code Chapter 329 for professional service contracts.

The original contract amount was for $209,840.00. This is the first modification. The cost of this modification is $50,000.00. The total cost of the contract with this modification is $259,840.00.

Fiscal Impact: The Transportation Division budgeted $100,000 in the 2004 Capital Improvements Budget for this contract modification. This ordinance authorizes and expenditure of $50,000.00. The additional funds will be available for any future contract modifications or related project costs.

Emergency action is requested to that the project design can be completed as soon as possible and allow construction to start in the spring of 2006.
