Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
This ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Service to modify a professional services contract with Kimley-Horn and Associates to add additional funds for the Roadway - Mobility Study - NW Corridor project.
Pursuant to Ordinance 2639-2019, the Department of Public Service initiated a procurement effort that resulted in the award and execution of a professional services contract with Kimley-Horn and Associates in the amount of up to $500,000.00 to implement the Mobility Study - NW Corridor project. The project includes establishing a Vision and Implementation Strategy for the corridor (Olentangy River Road from Bethel Road to West Broad Street) resulting in the development of a multi-modal transportation system supportive of mixed-use, transit-oriented, pedestrian, and bicycle friendly development patterns.
Ordinance 1450-2020 authorized the authorized the Director of Public Service to modify the contract in the amount of $510,000.00 to allow for the continuation of requisite services.
Ordinance 0545-2021 authorized the Director of Public Service to modify the contract in the amount of $350,000.00 to facilitate coordination with the LinkUS East-West Corridor High Capacity Transit Plan (contract managed by the Central Ohio Transit Authority), including the integration of the Northwest and East-West Corridors and additional LinkUS mobility network projects through a coordinated implementation effort.
This planned modification is necessary to cover the cost of extra work due to multiagency coordination. This involves the delivery of the final report which makes it necessary to modify the existing contract rather than to bid this part of the work.
The contract dollar amount to date is as follows:
Original contract amount: $500,000.00 (Ord. 2639-2019, PO205703)
Total of Modification No. 1: $510,000.00 (Ord. 1450-2020, PO236942)
Total of Modification No. 2: $350,000...
