1. BACKGROUND
This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Service to modify and increase the professional engineering services contract with Barr and Prevost for the Arterial Street Rehabilitation - North High Street Flint Road to County Line project in an amount up to $70,000.00.
This contract has been utilized for the design of this project which consists of the widening North High Street from Flint Road to the County Line by one lane each direction to match Ohio Department Of Transportation's(ODOT) interchange reconstruction project at SR23 and I-270. Project improvements include sidewalk, multi-use path, construction and replacement of traffic signals, and utility relocations.
During the coordination of the design of this project with ODOT's North Central Outerbelt project, a 1,700 foot long overlap between the two projects was identified. The City and ODOT requested that the Transportation Review Advisory Council(TRAC) committee allow the two projects be constructed as one (both projects are TRAC funded) which reduces the waste caused by the overlapping sections and the inconvenience to the public by decreasing the time of construction as the corridor will now experience one project instead of two. The TRAC committee approved this change which requires the City's project to be designed as a project to be bid by ODOT with the North Central Outerbelt project. This modification is required to modify the plans to ODOT requirements and specifications to allow it to be bid by ODOT as an ODOT project.
The original contract amount was $209,840.00. Contract number CT-17926 was authorized by ordinance 3088-1996.
Modification Number 1 for $50,000.00 was authorized by ordinance 1141-2004 to update the plans to the current specifications and revise for topography changes.
Modification Number 2 for $44,817.00 was authorized by ordinance 1689-2005 to design a right turn lane from southbound High Street to westbound Lazelle Road and to add si...
