Explanation

Background: Ordinance 1615-1997 passed by City Council June 30, 1997, authorized Columbus Engineering Consultants, Incorporated, to design the Group 10 Intersection Improvements project for the Transportation Division. This project consists of improvements to (1) Neil Avenue/Hudson Street/High Street and (2) Trabue Road/Walcutt Road intersections.

This legislation authorizes a modification of this design contract to provide stand-alone plans for each of these intersections that are now being jointly planned. The plan separation is necessary to provide for the proposed signal at Trabue/Walcutt to be installed in an expeditious manner. In addition, this modification requires that the consultant provide the Transportation Division with computer files of every plan submitted.

This modification is an addition to the original scope of services but is a continuation of the existing work being performed and it would not be practical to contract with a different consultant.

The consultant's current hourly rate, overhead rate and percentage of profit were considered and evaluated from the previous contract modification to determine the amount of this modification. Columbus Engineering Consultants, Incorporated, contract compliance number 31-0716498 (expires April 11, 2008) was selected in June 1997 in accordance with City Code Chapter 329 that governs professional service contracts.

The original contract amount was $283,545.00. This modification is for $10,000.00. The total of all modifications is $185,821.15. The current contract amount including all modifications is $469,366.15.

Fiscal Impact: Funds in the amount of $10,000.00 are available within the Transportation Division's 2004 Capital Improvement Budget in the 1995, 1999 Voted Streets and Highways Fund in the Urban Infrastructure project. This ordinance transfers monies from this project to the Safety Congestion Improvements project as appropriate and authorizes an expenditure...
