Explanation

Background:
This ordinance will authorize the appropriation and transfer of $40,000.00 from the Special Income Tax Fund No. 430 to the Voted 1995 and 1999 Parks and Recreation Bond Fund No. 702 to modify the contract with Evans, Mechwart, Hambleton & Tilton, Inc. for the Olentangy Bikeway Extension design.

A modification to Contract No. EL001343 is needed for additional professional services related to the Olentangy Bikeway Extension design.

The original contract cost was $213,000.00; the total modified cost is $253,000.00.

Additional funds are needed to deal with additional environmental services, field surveys, modified field conditions, and additional reimbursable expenses. $40,000.00 is needed to cover these changes.

It is in the City's best interest to have the contractor finish the project due to the contractor being familiar with the job.

The Contract Compliance Number for EMH & T is #31-0685594.

Emergency legislation is necessary as the project is completed and payments need to be made to the consultant.

Fiscal Impact:
The transfer of $40,000.00 from the Special Income Tax Fund to the Voted 1995 and 1999 Parks and Recreation Bond Fund is a temporary measure until the City sells notes or bonds to fund these improvements.
