Explanation
This legislation authorizes a modification to an existing contract with Burgess and Niple, Limited, for the design of the Town Street Bridge project. When constructed this project will replace the existing bridge on a new alignment and construct a new pedestrian bridge on the current alignment.

Due to the continuous development of the downtown area, the purchase of the Lazarus building and the associated Town Street Streetscape project it became obvious that the existing Town Street bridge should be relocated to a new alignment. Changing the alignment will remove most of the vehicular traffic from Town Street between Civic Center Drive and High Street. Town Street between these limits will be redevelopment into a more pedestrian-friendly street. The new Town Street bridge will connect with Rich Street on the east side and Town Street on the west side of the Scioto River. The design will also include a new pedestrian bridge, to be built on the existing alignment, if funding can be identified.

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 current hourly rate, overhead rate and percentage of profit that were negotiated at the beginning of this project were used to determine the amount of this modification. Burgess and Niple, Limited, contract compliance #31-0885550 (expires December 12, 2005), was selected in April 2001 in accordance with Chapter 329 for professional service contracts.

The original contract amount was $2,127,727.00. The total of all modifications including this one is $4,641,788.00. The contract amount including all modifications is $6,769,515.00.

Fiscal Impact: The amount of this contract modification is $3,613,000.00. Funds totaling $3,147,285.40 are available in the Unallocated Balance within the Streets and Highway Improvement Fund. This ordinance trans...
