Explanation

BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to modify a contract for the Office of Construction Management with URS Corporation - Ohio for professional services (design and administrative services) for scope revisions for additional engineering and archeological services for the construction of the new Police heliport. The original contract was authorized by Ordinance No. 1361-2006, passed July 26, 2006. It was modified by Ordinance No. 1751-2007, passed November 21, 2007. Due to the unforeseen discovery of unmarked graves during construction, archeological services were needed. Services included professional consulting, on-site archeological monitoring, ground penetrating radar, reporting/documentation to proper authorities, and coordination with the State of Ohio. Additional engineering was required for oversight of the installation of the underground utilities. URS Corporation - Ohio was required to complete substantial work not anticipated in the original scope. During this work, URS Corporation - Ohio expended a portion of the contingency in the contract and a portion of the design allowance. This modification will provide for the replacement of that contingency and design allowance.

Emergency action is requested so that the contingency on this contract may be reimbursed as quickly as possible, thereby ensuring that work on the new heliport is not delayed due to a lack of funding, and provides Columbus residents needed safety services.

Fiscal Impact: The amount of the original contract was $640,000.00. The first modification was in the amount of $50,000.00. This modification is in the amount of $33,100.00. The total cost of this contract is $723,100.00.

URS Corporation - Ohio, Contract Compliance Number 34-0939859, expiration date 08/31/2009.
