Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
The purpose of this ordinance is to amend Ordinance 1432-2017 in order to add additional funding to the project due to an increased price estimate.
Ordinance 1432-2017 authorized the Director of Public Service to modify a professional services contract with DLZ Ohio for the Intersection Improvements - SR-161 Corridor Study project, also known as FRA-SR 161-11.48 project (PID 97169). The additional funds requested with that ordinance were for the detailed design of a new traffic signal at the service road north of the SR161 and Cleveland Avenue intersection. The work to be performed for that contract modification consists of designing a new mast arm signal to stop the eastbound and southbound movements at the intersection of the western leg of the service road north of SR161 with Cleveland Avenue, and adjusting the raised median on the north leg of Cleveland Avenue to provide positive offset for the northbound/southbound left turn lanes.
This amendment is requested because the original estimate received April 11, 2017, from DLZ Ohio is superseded by a revised proposal dated August 24, 2017, as costs have changed since the issuance of the original modification proposal. Due to the increase in costs, it is necessary to amend the amount of the original ordinance from $75,000.00 to $120,000.00.
2. FISCAL IMPACT
The new estimated cost of the contract modification is $120,000.00, an increase of $45,000.00, with the City contributing all funds toward that effort. Funding for this project is available in Fund 7704, Street and Highway Bond Fund, within the Department of Public Service. An accounting template for the new expenditure amount of $120,000.00 is included with this Ordinance.
3. EMERGENCY DESIGNATION
Emergency action is requested to allow internal project schedules to be maintained.
