Explanation
This legislation authorizes a modification to the design contract with Dynotec, Incorporated, for the Group 9 Intersection Improvements - Hamilton Road at Livingston Avenue project. This project adds a right turn lane to all four legs of the intersection. This contract modification is necessary revise the signal design to account for new specifications. 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. Dynotec, Incorporated, contract compliance #31-1319961 (expires September 23, 2008) was selected in 1996 in accordance with the provisions of Columbus City Code Chapter 329 for professional service contracts. We have negotiated new hourly rates for this modification because the current contract is nine (9) years old. Costs have increased by approximately three percent (3%) per year for the past eight years. The overhead rate and percentage of profit from the original contract were used because they are still valid.

The original contract amount was for $190,510.00. The cost of this modification is $50,000.00. The total cost of the contract including this modification is $255,510.00.

Fiscal Impact: The Transportation Division budgeted $50,000 in the 2005 Capital Improvements in the Miscellaneous Intersection Improvement project. Actual funds will be available in the 1995, 1999 Voted Streets and Highways Fund as a result of the Fall 2005 bond sale. This ordinance authorizes an expenditure of $50,000.00.

Emergency action is requested for immediate modification of the design contract for the earliest possible completion of the design to stay on schedule.
