1. BACKGROUND
This ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Service to modify a professional services contract with ms consultants to add funds for design of the Arterial Street Rehabilitation-Hamilton Road-I70 to Refugee Road project.
Ordinance 2793-2013 authorized the Director of Public Service to enter into a professional services contract with ms consultants for the Arterial Street Rehabilitation-Hamilton Road-I70 to Refugee Road project in the amount of $250,000.00.

The Project Development Process stage needed to be completed prior to design of the needed improvements.
Ordinance 1436-2014 authorized the modification of this contract in the amount of $474,943.66 to fund preliminary engineering for the project. Ordinance 1600-2015 authorized the modification of the contract in the amount of $1,000,000.00 to start detailed design of the project. Ordinance 1859-2016 authorized the contract to be modified in the amount of $461,097.57 to finish detail design of the project. Ordinance 1974-2018 authorized a contract modification in the amount of $320,000.00 so the design plans could incorporate revisions made in City and ODOT design standards and requirements.
