Explanation
The Public Service Department, Transportation Division, is pursuing the Norton Road (Broad Street to Hall Road) improvement project. This project provides for the widening of Norton Road from a point approximately 500 feet south of Hall Road north to its intersection with West Broad Street from a two lane road to a five lane curbed facility with bike lanes, sidewalks and street lighting. This legislation authorizes a modification to the existing design contract with Parsons Brinckerhoff Ohio, Incorporated, to compensate the designer for additional design work. The additional design work consists of addenda to the plans that were already signed and sheet piling design details and waterline relocation design requested by the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT).

This modification is an addition to the original scope of services but is a continuation of the existing work being performed and it would not be practical to contract with a different consultant.

New hourly rates were negotiated for this modification because the contract is 13 years old; they were last negotiated as part of the most recent contract modification (Ordinance 1018-2004, passed July 19, 2004). Costs have increased by approximately three percent (3%) per year for the last two years. The current overhead rate and percentage of profit were used because they are still valid. Parsons Brinckerhoff Ohio, Incorporated, contract compliance #13-3363319 (expires March 6, 2006) was selected in June 1993 in accordance with Chapter 329 for professional service contracts.

The original contract amount was $836,286.00. The total of all modifications is $272,409.00. The contract amount including all modifications is $1,108,695.00.

Fiscal Impact: This is a city/county/state/federal participation project. Right-of-way acquisition and construction costs are to be split 80 percent federal/20 percent local. Construction costs are estimated at $11,000,000.00. Franklin County an...
