Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Service to enter into contract with Glaus, Pyle, Schomer, Burns and DeHaven, dba GPD Associates, in the amount of up to $1,000,000.00 for the Roadway Improvements - Livingston Avenue - Front to Fourth project.
This project involves the preparation of detailed design plans which will include the following improvements: the roadway will be reconstructed, widened, and converted to two-way traffic; bike lanes will be added; curb extensions and new sidewalk will be installed; there will be intersection upgrades, streetscape improvements, new storm sewer installation, new street lighting, and new water line installation; and all aerial utilities will be relocated underground. These improvements will be performed in the Near South Community Planning Area.
A bidding waiver is requested for this contract. GPD is under contract with ODOT providing consultant and design work on Phase 4A of the I70/I71 - Livingston Avenue project which will modify traffic on Livingston Avenue. The city desires to use this opportunity to convert Livingston Avenue to two-way traffic from Front Street to Fourth Street and provide complete street features and the aforementioned improvements. The project design must be coordinated with ODOT’s design. GPD’s knowledge of the ODOT project and how that project will impact this City project saves the time and expense of a knowledge transfer between consultants and allows the project to be completed within the timeframe available to do the design.
