Explanation
The City of Columbus is seeking to develop and enhance the State Route 315 corridor as a nexus for high-technology research and development businesses, in conjunction with OSU and other state and local agencies. To further this aim, roadway improvements are being contemplated to enhance access for pedestrians, motorists and bicyclists. This legislation authorizes the Public Service Director to enter into a contract for the Transportation Division for preliminary engineering services for the Kinnear Road Improvement project with Burgess and Niple, Incorporated, in the amount of $500,000.00. The improvement corridor is Kinnear Road between North Star Road to the west and up to the SR 315 southbound off ramp intersection to the east. The purpose of the contract is to investigate engineering alternatives for the widening, drainage and streetscape features of Kinnear Road. 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.

The selection process for this professional service contract was conducted in accordance with provisions of Chapter 329.11 of the City Codes, 1959. Ten firms submitted proposals: Advanced Civil Design, Incorporated; Baker Systems, Incorporated; Burgess and Niple, Incorporated; DLZ Ohio, Incorporated; Jones and Stuckey, Incorporated; ms consultants, incorporated; Parsons Brinckerhoff, Incorporated; TranSystems, Incorporated; URS Engineering, Incorporated; and Woolpert, Incorporated.

The evaluation committee determined that Burgess and Niple, Incorporated, contract compliance number 31-0885550 (expires January 19, 2007), submitted the best overall proposal at a competitive price for this work.

Fiscal Impact: Funds in the amount of $500,000.00 are budgeted and available within the Transportation Division's 2006 Capital Improveme...
