Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Service to modify a professional services contract with EMH&T (Evans, Mechwart, Hambleton & Tilton) to add funds for the Roadway Improvements - Design Manual project.
Ordinance 2906-2016 authorized the Director of Public Service to enter into a professional services contract with EMH&T (Evans, Mechwart, Hambleton & Tilton) for the Roadway Improvements - Design Manual project. This manual will organize existing City of Columbus Department of Public Service design 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.
Ordinance 2906-2016 encumbered $250,000 for the project. During negotiations with the consultant it was decided the project should be completed in two phases, so the contract was implemented for $149,687.47 to do phase 1. This ordinance is for a planned contract modification to authorize the Director of Public Service to increase the contract in the amount of up to $175,312.53 to implement phase 2 and complete the project.
The original contract amount: $149,687.47 (PO041131, Ord. 2906-2016)
The total of Modification No. 1: $175,312.53 (This Ordinance)
