Explanation
The Transportation Division is currently engaged in the Demorest Road/Sullivant Avenue (OPWC) project. This project includes the complete reconstruction of Demorest Road from Glorious Avenue to Parkside Road. The road will be widened from two lanes to three lanes with curbing, sidewalks and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)-compliant curb ramps. Sullivant Avenue will be widened and improved from Wilson Road to Athens Avenue with curbing, sidewalks and ADA curb ramps. Traffic signals will also be improved. In addition, the deteriorating storm sewer trench along Sullivant Avenue between Athens Avenue and Sylvan Avenue will be rehabilitated and that portion of Sullivant Avenue repaved.

This legislation authorizes the Public Service Director to modify and increase the Transportation Division's construction contract with Complete General Construction Company, contract compliance #31-4366382 (expires March 1, 2008), for an amount up to $1,028,940.12 and provide $82,315.21 for construction inspection. This contract is being modified to include replacing along Demorest Road the existing 6" waterline from Glorious Road to Sullivant Avenue with a 12" waterline and replacing the existing 6" waterline from Sullivant Avenue to Parkside Avenue with an 8" waterline.

Accordingly, it would not be practical to award this work to another contractor. Prices were obtained by negotiations with Complete General Construction Company using existing prices where available and past project prices for new items.

The original contract amount was ...
