Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
This ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Service to modify and increase an existing contract with The Ruhlin Company for the Intersection - East Broad Street at Reynoldsburg-New Albany Road project in an amount up to $47,547.16.
Ordinance 2466-2022 authorized the Director of Public Service to enter into a contract with The Ruhlin Company for the construction of the Intersection - East Broad Street at Reynoldsburg-New Albany Road project and to provide for construction administration and inspection services.
The work performed to date for this project consists of curb ramp, sidewalk, and traffic signal replacement, as well as street light construction at the East Broad Street and Reynoldsburg-New Albany Road intersection.
The work for modification 1 will consist of addition of permanent steel caissons, and other such work as may be necessary to complete the contract.

The contract amount including all modifications: $592,856.98
