Explanation
BACKGROUND: This ordinance authorizes the Public Utilities Director to modify and increase a professional engineering services contract, with Dynotec, Inc., for the West Fifth Avenue and McDannald Estates Stormwater System Improvements Projects, which are a part of the Group 11 Roadside Stormwater System Improvements Projects. This is the eighth modification to the original contract. Modifications are needed to revise construction plans to bring them into compliance with the recently adopted requirements for signalized intersection, wheelchair ramp, and pavement marking design standards. Project contingency balances for the McDannald Estates Project will also be replenished through this modification.
Amount of additional funds to be expended:
$27,200.00 (West Fifth) + $20,000.00 (McDannald Estates) = $47,200.00
Original Contract Amount: $339,633.00
Amount of Modifications #1-7: $387,027.62
Amount of original contract and modifications 1-8: $773,860.62
Reasons additional goods/services could not be foreseen:
Signalized intersection, wheelchair ramp, and pavement marking design standards recently changed. Also, the final design of the Fifth Ave./Olentangy River Road intersection needs to be updated to reflect the changes.
Reason other procurement processes are not used:
The work under this contract modification is a plan update to be done as part of the final plan review process.
How cost of modification was determined:
Price quotes for the additional design services under this modification were requested by the Division of Sewerage and Drainage, prepared by the design engineer, and were subsequently reviewed by Division personnel and deemed to be appropriate.
