Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
This ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Service to execute a contract modification with Kimley-Horn and Associates (Kimley-Horn) relative to the Roadway - Mobility Study - NW Corridor project.
The aforementioned project encompasses establishing a Vision and Implementation Strategy for the stretch of Olentangy River Road from Bethel Road to West Broad Street, which will result in the development of a multi-modal transportation system supportive of mixed-use, transit-oriented, pedestrian, and bicycle friendly development patterns.
This is a planned contract modification. Ordinance 2639-2019 authorized the Director of Public Service to execute a professional services contract with Kimley-Horn for the provision of design services for the project, including but not limited to transportation analysis, reporting, and forecasting services necessary to the completion of the project. That legislation also noted that a future planned contract modification would be funded by contributions from other organizations including, but not limited to, the Central Ohio Transportation Authority (COTA), the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission (MORPC), and Ohio State University. Some of that funding has been received and will be added to the contract. Future contract modifications are anticipated as additional contributions to the project are received.
Searches in the System for Award Management (Federal) and the Findings for Recovery list (State) produced no findings against Kimley-Horn.
