Explanation
Background:
Recreation and Parks entered into contract with Jones/Stuckey in 2007 for engineering services to design the Alum Creek Trail from I-670 to Innis Park. During the contract period, additional permit work was required by the Army Corps of Engineers and the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT). During construction of two sections of the trail, Jones/Stuckey was requested to provide construction engineering and additional details and specifications for the Departments of Public Service and Utilities. The engineering services will be used for additional permitting and construction review services related to construction of two sections of the trail, and two alignment studies performed during preliminary design.
During the construction period beginning in April of 2014, the consultant was requested to provide assistance with shop drawing reviews for the trail bridges, and review several value engineering designs which were not a part of the original scope.
