Explanation
Background: This ordinance authorizes the Public Service Director to enter into a professional services engineering contract with Kinzelman Kline Gossman LLC for the Third Street Streetscape/Traffic Corridor Study in the amount of $250,000.00. The project limits are from Livingston Ave. to Reinhard Ave. The study will research German Village streetscape from a historical perspective, create a comprehensive streetscape design concept, outline an implementation plan and identify specific funding that may be available.

This study will consider the layout of walks, curbs, walls, steps, drainage structures, traffic control devices, overhead utilities, site lighting, plantings, environmental improvements, as well as proposed signing and wayfinding elements.

The selection process for the professional services contract has been completed in accordance with Chapter 329.14 of Columbus City Codes 1959. Eight firms submitted proposals. The evaluation committee determined that Kinzelman Kline Gossman LLC, CC #31-1654496 (expiring April 2009), submitted the best overall proposal for this work.

Fiscal Impact: Funds in the amount of $250,000.00 are budgeted and available as part of the Urban Infrastructure Program in the Streets and Highways G.O. Bonds Fund for the Transportation Division.

Emergency action: is requested to allow this study to start, as soon as possible so that the comprehensive streetscape design concept along with its implementation plan can begin without delay.
