Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Service to modify a professional engineering services contract with Carpenter Marty Transportation Inc., in the amount of up to $350,000.00 for the Roadway Improvements - Downtown General Engineering contract.
This is an unplanned modification to an existing general engineering contract. The consultant has already begun engineering services related to the Spring/Long Street Project and the Third/Fourth/Summit Street Projects. The scope for downtown projects such as bike lanes requires the city to install items that are to remain in experimental stages by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). Consequently, as a new design is implemented, several iterative studies and reports are necessary to meet Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) and FHWA requirements. In addition, multiple divisions have various and immediate need for engineering work in the downtown area, thus creating a need for assistance by CM Transportation.
This modification consists of but is not limited to: additional video work for bike lane queue analysis for Summit and Fourth; Long Street/Spring Street Lane Width Evaluation - Neil to Marconi; Interchange Operation Study NB 315 at Goodale for ODOT Safety Funds; Grant Ave (Broad St to Spring St) - Remove peak hour parking restrictions and add sharrows; Long Street/Spring Street Lane Width Study and Evaluation - SR 315 to Neil; Mt. Vernon Ave (Spring St to Cleveland Ave) - Remove one travel lane, add separated bike facility; Map of Downtown vault locations; and Street Tree standards.
Original contract amount $200,000.00 (Ordinance 2199-2014, EL016418)
Modification number 1 $350,000.00 (this modification)
Total amount of the contract: $550,000.00
