Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Service to modify and increase the professional engineering services contract for the Bikeway Development - Professional Services (Bikeway Plan PE Services) project with Stantec Consulting Services Inc. in the amount of $131,755.34.
Various projects have spent down the total value of this contract. The intent of this contract was to provide the Department of Public Service with continuing, contractual access to additional resources that are necessary to perform various professional engineering, survey, and technical expertise for the department to complete its capital and operating budget commitments.
Work to be performed under this contract modification include, but is not limited to, providing additional funds to complete design work to finalize plans due to changes with the protected bike lane, and address design comments.
After the department reviewed the results from the signal warrants and traffic studies, the consultant presented the protected bike lane concept to the city. The city then made the decision to move forward with plan changes and built the first protected bike lane in the City of Columbus. Stantec Consulting Services Inc. originally designed the project and later the city determined that changes must be made by the engineer of record. The city also needed to maintain the ODOT project schedule for funding.
Original contract amount: $310,000.00 (Ord. 0191-2011, EL011399)
Modification 1 amount: $500,500.00 (Ord. 1790-2013, EL014693)
