Explanation

Background: This ordinance authorizes the Public Service Director to modify an existing agreement with the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission (MORPC) to provide additional services to complete the Columbus Bicentennial Master Bikeways Plan associated with the Downtown Columbus Circulation Study. The traffic study has recommended a street network and bikeways to facilitate mobility, enhance pedestrian friendliness and contribute to the viability of the downtown community. These additional services will enhance bicycle travel in downtown and the connections to outlying areas by presenting a bikeway plan.

In February, 2006, the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission (MORPC) was instructed to proceed with the Economic Analysis of the I-70/71 Innerbelt Alternatives on behalf of the Planning Division. This ordinance allows for the transfer of $20,000 from the Planning Division to the Transportation Division as reimbursement for funds that were provided to cover the costs of the study.

This ordinance authorizes increasing the contract funds by $30,000.00 and extends completion time for all contract tasks through December 31, 2008 to continue development of the Columbus Bicentennial Master Bikeways Plan. This work includes an additional stakeholder meeting to review the draft plan, create a master reproducible bikeway map and prepare public presentation materials. The total contract authorization amount will now be $785,000.00 after passage of this ordinance.

The Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission (MORPC) is a not-for-profit governmental entity; their contract compliance number is 31-1009675.

Emergency Justification: In order to complete the required tasks of the Downtown Circulation...
