Explanation
1. BACKGROUND:
This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Service to enter into a contract modification with Columbus Asphalt Paving Inc. for the construction of the Pedestrian Safety Improvements - Sidewalk Program 2016 project and to provide payment for construction administration and inspection services. Work can potentially be performed in all City Planning Areas. This is a planned modification to add funds for year two of a potential three year contract.
The Pedestrian Safety Improvements - Sidewalk Program 2016 project is also known as the Notice of Violation program. In response to 311 tickets, an inspector visits a property and determines if the sidewalk/driveway apron/shared use path/curb in the public right-of-way is in need of repair and in violation of City Code. Per City Code, the property owner is responsible for making these repairs. If repairs are needed, a Notice of Violation is sent to the property owner. The property owner can either make the repair or the City will make the repair for them and the property owner will be invoiced for the repairs. This contract was bid and established in 2016 for a contractor to make these repairs on an as-needed basis on behalf of the City. A separate contract with small businesses will be established to make these repairs for property owners eligible for the Sidewalk Rescue Program (Sidewalk Repair Reimbursement Program). That contract will be submitted for City Council consideration and approval under a separate ordinance.
The estimated Notice to Proceed date is August 9, 2017.
The original contract amount: $273,045.30 (PO017728, Ord. 1681-2016)
The total of Modification No. 1: $127,000.00
The contract amount including all modifications: $400,045.30
