Explanation
Background: This legislation modifies and increases the construction contract with Columbus Asphalt Paving, Incorporated (contract compliance #31-0857095 Expiration 5/23/08) for the City of Columbus, Clintonville Streetscape Improvement project in an amount up to $172,144.09.
This project included installation of new curbs, sidewalks, ornamental lighting, mast-arm signalization, sanitary sewer repairs, and traffic-calming nodes on N. High Street between Arcadia Avenue and Torrance Avenue. The project also resurfaced the roadway and upgraded ADA curb ramps within the project limits. This contract is being modified to close-out the contract due to extra work encountered during construction: subsurface utility lines that were encountered at locations not shown in the design; a basement which extended into the right-of-way and below a sidewalk which required emergency construction work; and additional work requested during construction by the Sewerage and Drainage Division having to do with re-lining, point repairs and new sanitary structures. The Sewerage and Drainage Division is contributing $80,354.00 toward the project close-out costs.
This is a neighborhood assessment project, but the total amount of the assessment was capped by Council action in 2005, and the assessment will not be affected by this modification. Prices were obtained by negotiations with Columbus Asphalt Paving, Incorporated using existing prices where available and past project prices for new items.
Emergency action is requested for immediate modification of the construction contract so that the contract may be closed out as soon as practicable.
