Explanation
Background:
Proposals were received from four consultant teams on January 13, 2011 as follows:
Status
KKG/Burgess and Niple MAJ
DLZ/EndresWare MAJ
Rosales and Partners MAJ
WXY MAJ
The Evaluation Committee reviewed these proposals based on the specific requirements of the Request For Proposal (RFP) dated November 18, 2010. The teams made presentations to the Evaluation Committee on February 3 and 4, 2011. Based on this, the Committee is recommending the team of KKG/Burgess and Niple/Bridgescape/Leonhardt, Andra and Partner as the firm best able to do the work as described in the RFP.
Recreation and Parks re-interviewed the KKG/Burgess and Niple team, now formally merged as MKSK, Inc. on November 26, 2012 to confirm the commitment to perform the design study. MKSK, Inc. is considered the best responsive bidder due to their prior engineering work completed in 2011 on the downtown bikeway bridge. This prior work involved extensive engineering study of trail connectivity throughout the downtown river corridor. The consultant is also a lead designer on the current Scioto Greenway/Main Street Dam Removal Project, and their ability to combine data from both projects to meet the compressed schedule requirements will provide substantial efficiency and cost savings. The design study deliverables will include a bridge type, alignment, materials, hydraulic modeling and calculations, cost estimate, typical section, and elevations.
