Explanation
BACKGROUND. This legislation authorizes modifying the contract for professional engineering services with Dynotec, Inc. for one project that is part of the Group 11 Roadside Stormwater System Improvements Projects. The project is the Fairwood/Koebel Stormwater System Improvements Project.
This contract modification is necessary to allow payment for additional engineering services that are beyond the original contract scope. Transportation Division requested that storm sewer plans for this project be modified to incorporate sidewalks along both sides of Fairwood Avenue. Construction of sidewalks and ADA curb ramps concurrently with the storm sewer improvements will limit disturbance to area residents, allows the storm sewer and sidewalks to be located in areas where they will not conflict with each other, and will ultimately improve pedestrian
safety when construction is complete. Sidewalks and ADA curb ramps were not included in the original scope development since no funding was available from the Transportation Division at that time. Monies have now been made available by the Transportation Division for the sidewalks. The engineering for the sidewalks will be paid by the Division of Transportation and no Stormwater monies will be used.
EMERGENCY DESIGNATION. Emergency designation is requested for this ordinance so that this additional work can be incorporated into the project plans without delaying the proposed construction schedule.
