Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Service to enter into professional services contracts with EMH&T (Evans, Mechwart, Hambleton & Tilton) in the amount of up to $250,000.00 for the Roadway Improvements - Design Manual project.
The intent of this project is to provide the City of Columbus, Department of Public Service, additional resources for the development of a Department Design Manual. This manual will organize existing City of Columbus standards, policies, recommended practices and standard drawings into one comprehensive formal document. The manual will give the Department of Public Service design and review personnel a reference document to ensure that a clear, complete, and concise study or set of plans are developed. The manual will provide a centralized source for consultants to utilize for plan and study preparation and development. In addition, the document will provide the Department of Public Service personnel a reference document which will assure design consistency with consultant designs. The end result of this project will be a logically sound, clear, and organized design manual in electronic format.
The Department of Public Service, Office of Support Services, solicited Requests for Proposals for the Roadway Improvements - Design Manual contract. The project was formally advertised on the Vendor Services web site from September 30, 2016, to October 13, 2016. The City received two (2) responses.
