Explanation

Background: This legislation authorizes the Public Service Director to enter into a contract for the Transportation Division for a professional services engineering contract for the Hamilton Road Corridor/Eastland Area Revitalization Study/Preliminary Engineering project with ms consultants in the amount of $300,000.00. A professional services contract for engineering is needed to assure timely completion of the design and as the Transportation Division does not maintain adequate staff or all of the various disciplines necessary to complete such design in house. This project will develop a conceptual design for the recommended short-, mid- and long-term improvements that minimizes the impact to the surrounding environment, takes into account the desire of the community, and allows for the smooth flow of both vehicular and pedestrian traffic for this urban corridor. This is the first contract in what is expected to be a continuing design project for the Hamilton Road Corridor/Eastland Area Revitalization project and may be modified in the future for final design.

The selection process for the professional service contract has been done in accordance with provisions of Chapter 329.12 of Columbus City Codes 1959. 41 majority firms and 6 minority firms were solicited to submit proposals, 7 majority firms and 1 minority firm submitted a proposal: American Structurepoint, Carter Burgess, EMH&T, EP Ferris, ms consultants, Resource International, Tetratech, Woolpert.

The evaluation committee determined that ms consultants, inc., CC #: 34-6546916 (Expires 7/29/08), submitted the best overall proposal at a competitive price for this work.

Emergency action is requested so that this project can begin in August 2007 and keep commitments made to the local community.

Fiscal Impact: Funds in the amount of $300,000.00 are budgeted and available in the 1995, 1999, 2004 Voted Street and Highway Fund for the Transportation Division.
