Explanation
Background: This ordinance authorizes the Director of the Recreation and Parks Department to modify an existing contract with Glaus, Pyle, Schomer, Burns and Dehaven DBA GPD Group to provide professional services associated with the Franklinton Loop - Souder Avenue Trail Connector Project. The modification amount being authorized by this ordinance is $114,754.00.
This project includes a new pedestrian bridge, floodwall modifications, and a Franklinton neighborhood connection by a trail that runs along Souder Avenue from West Broad Street to the Scioto Trail at Dublin Road. This modification is for additional engineering services required due to known and unknown permitting needs along with additional construction-phase support. Part of this modification is for a planned Letter of Map Revision through FEMA to account for changes in the base flood elevation from the new bridge. This work was anticipated during design and will be performed post-construction. During the design phase, stream bank scouring occurred along the bank from the causeway. To restore the stream bank, additional permitting is needed through the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT), U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (Ohio EPA). Additional services will also need provided to address ongoing construction submittals and questions. This modification will allow the project to be completed on schedule and to satisfy all permit requirements. The cost was determined by established hourly rates and negotiated hours to complete the additional scope of work by the project team.
