Explanation
The Transportation Division is engaged in the Minnesota Avenue, Riverview Drive and Elmore Avenue project to reconstruct each roadway and improve drainage. The project limits for this design contract are Minnesota Avenue from Joyce Avenue to Parkwood Avenue, Riverview Drive from its west terminus to Olentangy River Road and Elmore Avenue from Karl Road to the east corporation limits.

A design contract modification with Eriksson Engineering, Limited, is necessary to provide additional design services for the design of a storm sewer on Elmore Avenue.

Eriksson Engineering, Limited, contract compliance number 31-0795972 (expires October 15, 2006), was selected in 2000 in accordance with City Code Chapter 329 for awarding professional service contracts. This modification is an addition to the original scope of services but is a continuation of the existing work being performed and would not be practical to contract with a different consultant. New hourly rates were negotiated for this modification because the current contract is five (5) years old. Costs have increased by approximately three percent (3%) per year for the past eight years. The overhead rate and percentage of profit are consistent with the original contract because they are still valid.

The original contract amount was for $317,225.00. It was previously modified for $223,200.00. The total of this modification is $16,251.00. The total contract amount including all modifications will be $556,676.00.

Fiscal Impact: Funds in the amount of $16,251.00 are budgeted and available in the Storm Sewer Bonds Fund. The Sewerage and Drainage Division made this money available to the Transportation Division for this purpose within Ordinance 0426-2005 passed by City Council on March 21, 2005. The Division of Sewerage and Drainage is requesting an amendment to the 2005 Capital Improvements Budget for purposes of establishing sufficient budget authority for this expenditure. This amend...
