Explanation

Background: This legislation authorizes a modification to the design contract with ms consultants, inc. for the Gay Street Traffic Calming General Engineering project. This project is being designed to convert Gay Street to a two way operation from Front Street to Cleveland Avenue. This modification provides for additional design involving the water line and sewer work included in the plans on behalf of the Department of Pubic Utilities as well as reestablishing contingency design funds that are currently being used to address various construction issues. Existing contingency funds have been used to add additional conduit of behalf of the Department of Technology, revise the median in coordination with Franklin County and Midland Garage requests, to absorb the Buckeye Building streetscape into the project on behalf of the Development Department, and to address a variety of construction issues mostly related to unknown utilities. Additional funds are needed to provide for integrating the south side streetscape on behalf of the Development Department and the Edward's development, additional sewer design near a sewer collapse, and to provide for any other upcoming unanticipated construction issues. 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. Rates are based on the original contract. ms consultants, inc., contract compliance number 34-6546916 (expires 7/29/2008), was originally selected in accordance with Chapter 329 for professional service contracts.

The original contract amount was $300,000.00
Previous modification total was $317,429.73
This modification $112,195.00
The contract amount, including all modifications is $729,624.73

Emergency action is requested for immediate modification of the design contract for the earliest possible completio...
