Explanation
1. BACKGROUND:
This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Service to modify a professional engineering services contract with Prime AE Group, Inc., for the Arterial Street Rehabilitation - Alum Creek Drive - Frebis to Refugee project. This project is partially funded by the Ohio Department of Transportation and is also known as FRA-CR122-6.22 (PID 85017).

The original ordinance, 1222-2012, indicated that the project design would be completed in two parts and that a planned modification would be forthcoming. Part 1 consisted of preliminary engineering to determine the roadway and intersection capacity needs, to provide an updated grade separation assessment relative to the Alum Creek Drive crossing of Norfolk-Southern railroad tracks, and to determine the improvements needed to the bridge over and interchange with SR-104 to accommodate pedestrian/bikeway improvements on Alum Creek Drive.

Modification number 2 is an unplanned modification and is outside the originally anticipated project limits. The scope for modification number 2 includes additional survey and geotechnical design for a detention basin. The design of the detention basin is integral to the development of the construction documents being prepared by Prime AE Group, Inc.

Modification number 1 $1,426,514.00 (Ordinance 1785-2013 EL014692)
Modification number 2 $ 29,728.00
