Explanation
1. BACKGROUND:
This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Service to enter into a contract for the construction of the Pedestrian Safety Improvements - Hague Avenue from Briggs to Mound Street Project.

The principal purpose of the project is to add five foot sidewalks on both the east and west side of Hague Avenue from Briggs Road to Mound Street. This project will provide new sidewalks, curb ramps, and drive replacement.

A total of 0.5 miles of 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk will be added in this project on the east side of Hague Avenue. A total of 0.5 miles of 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk will be added in this project on the west side of Hague Avenue.
27 ADA ramps will be added or reconstructed in this project.

This project complies with the recommendation of the Pedestrian Thoroughfare Plan because the Division of Mobility Options reviewed walk widths for anticipated future activity, and found the widths to be adequate.

Pedestrian generators and destinations impacting the proposed project include Binns Elementary School, Crossroads United Methodist Church and COTA Route #3 Bus stop. Pedestrian Quality of Service analyses show a marked improvement in that sidewalks are being constructed where there are presently no pedestrian facilities. The 5foot sidewalk is within the recommended range for the anticipated pedestrian demand.

The estimated Notice to Proceed date is June 13, 2011. The contract length is 90 days from the Notice to Proceed date. The project was let by the Office of Support Services through vendor services. 6 bids were received on April 28, 2011 (6 majority) and tabulated on April 29, 2011 as follows:

Company Name Bid Amt City/State Majority/MBE/FBE
Newcomer Concrete Services, Inc. $389,623.63 Norwalk, OH Majority
Shelly and Sands, Inc. $396,936.21 Columbus, OH ...
