Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Service to enter into a professional services contract with Korda Nemeth Engineering, Inc. for the Bikeway Development - Bikeway Design project for $500,000.00.

The City of Columbus has developed a Bicentennial Bikeways Plan, which was adopted by City Council on June 2, 2008. The Plan identifies specific on-street bikeway improvement projects located throughout the City. The Division of Mobility Options is responsible for the management of these improvement projects. It is the responsibility of the consultant to provide traffic analysis, conceptual designs and construction plans in a timely manner.

There are a variety of individual projects to be analyzed and designed as part of this contract. These improvements are mostly within the right-of-way, and will consist of projects identified in the Bicentennial Bikeways Plan such as shared use paths, bike lanes, and shared routes, as well as communications and public involvement related to bicyclist education and engagement in support of these projects. In addition to yearly spot improvement projects, potential projects (tasks) include, but are not limited to, the following:

Share the Road Campaign
Summit Street Bike Lanes
Fourth Street Bike Lanes
Bike Parking Shelters
SR 161 Bikeway Connector Bike Path
East-West Connector/Sullivant Avenue Corridor


The City will negotiate each task assignment with the consultant and shall assign tasks to the consultant as it deems necessary, according to the task scope, and availability of consultant resources.

Work also includes conducting the necessary traffic engineering analysis to refine BBP recommendations into practical "complete street" solutions.
