Explanation
This legislation authorizes a modification to the design contract with Gannett Fleming Engineers and Architects for the General Engineering Bridges Project. The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) changed the scope of the Hamilton Road Bridge over CSX railroad project after the plans were completed requiring the structure to be widened, including the approach pavement, and that the abutments be converted to semi-integral with elastomeric bearings. This bridge is south of I-70 and north of Groves Road. ODOT is paying for 100% of the new bridge construction, while the City of Columbus is responsible for 100% of the design cost.
This request is for additional design work necessary to complete the project. This work includes roadway plans, lighting, signal work, additional survey work, bridge plans, subsurface investigations, plan submissions, meetings, and right-of-way if authorized.
This modification includes $149,385.00 for the basic scope of the project and $23,457.00 for the right-of-way plans for a total contract modification amount of $172,842.00. This is the first contract modification for this project. The total contract amount with this modification will be $547,842.00
