Explanation
The Public Service Department, Transportation Division, is pursuing the improvement of a portion of Alum Creek Drive between Williams Road and Refugee Road in cooperation with the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT). This project is designed to improve the capacity of Alum Creek Drive by widening the roadway to five lanes. The project will also include curb, asphalt paths for pedestrians and bicycles, enclosed drainage, new signals and street lighting.

This legislation authorizes a modification to the existing design contract with R. D. Zande and Associates, Incorporated. A contract modification is necessary to incorporate revised city and state standards and guidelines, additional surveying and plan design changes for new developments that have occurred along Alum Creek, a new traffic signal at New World Drive, a 24" waterline (per the Power and Water Division's request) and additional design changes to provide accommodations for Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) features and bikeway facilities and to modify the plans to reflect changes in lighting and drainage standards.

This modification is an addition to the original scope of services but is a continuation of the existing work being performed and it would not be practical to contract with a different consultant.

The current hourly and overhead rates and percentage of profit for this project have been updated to reflect changes in negotiated rates from the commencement of this project in 1999. R. D. Zande, contract compliance number 31-1395123 (expires January 27, 2008) was selected in 1998 in accordance with City Chapter 329 requirements for professional service contract provision.

The original contract amount was $464,200.00. The previous modification amount was $139,385.03. This modification is for $202,855.00. The total of all modifications is $342,240.03. The total contract amount including all modifications is $806,440.03.
