Explanation
1. BACKGROUND:
This ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Service to modify and increase a professional engineering services contract with URS Corporation - Ohio for the Arterial Street Rehabilitation - Hard Road Phase A/Sawmill Road - Smoky Row Road project. This is the first modification to the original contract.
This project is being designed to widen Hard Road between Sawmill Road and Smoky Row Road. The project will include widening and reconstruction from two lanes to five lanes, sidewalks, storm sewers, street lights, curbs, and bike lanes on the north and south sides of the street.
The contract modification is necessary to provide additional design services to update plans to incorporate additional comments received on roadway construction plan documents; perform a profile evaluation to balance lowering over water main, provide engineering design services during pre-construction and provide post-construction record plan drawings with an electronic and hard copy submission.

The original contract amount authorized by ordinance 1108-2010, final action July 28, 2010, was $1,201,162.00. (EL010946)
The total of this modification, no. 1, is $105,000.00.
The contract amount, including this modification, is $1,306,162.00.
