1. BACKGROUND
This ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Service to enter into professional services contracts with Burgess & Niple in the amount of up to $500,000.00 for the Arterial Street Rehabilitation - E. Broad St. - Outerbelt St. to Reynoldsburg-New Albany Rd. project.
The intent of this project is to design improvements to the East Broad Street corridor from Outerbelt Street to Reynoldsburg-New Albany Road. This is the second phase of a major widening project to construct new through and turn lanes of various configurations in the E. Broad Street corridor from the east side of the I-270 interchange to the intersection of E. Broad Street and Reynoldsburg-New Albany Road. This project will widen and resurface the existing pavement from the eastern terminus of Phase 1 (near Outerbelt Street) to Reynoldsburg-New Albany Road. Work will include widening of the bridge over Utzinger Ditch; traffic signal improvements; addition of a shared use path, sidewalk, street lighting, street trees, and signal interconnect conduit; and incidental improvements such as drainage, traffic control, sediment and erosion control, water adjustments, and maintenance of traffic.
