Explanation

1. BACKGROUND
This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Service to enter into contract with CHA Consulting, Inc., in the amount of up to $250,000.00 for the Arterial Street Rehabilitation - Polaris Parkway contract.

The Department of Public Service is initiating a procurement effort that will result in the award and execution of a detail design contract. This project, also known as DEL-CR615-0.000 (PID Number 95549), includes preliminary and final engineering for improvements to Polaris Parkway (CR615) from I-71 to Old Worthington Road and to Orion Place from County Line Road to Gemini Place. The primary purpose of the project is to improve capacity and safety of the roadways and intersections within the corridor. Design will proceed in two parts. The Part 1 contract will consist of a traffic study to determine the improvements to the intersections of Polaris Parkway with Orion Place, Olde Worthington Road, and the signalized intersection between Orion Place and Olde Worthington Road. The specific scope of work for Part 2 will be developed upon completion of Part 1. The project will receive construction funding from MORPC for SFY2017 Construction.
