Ordinance 2452-2022 authorized the Director of Public Service to enter into contract with Precision Concrete Cutting, Inc. for the Pedestrian Safety Improvements-Sidewalk Trip Hazard Repair 2022. This project consists of the removal of trip hazards resulting from a difference in the elevation of abutting sidewalk panels within the corporation limits of the City of Columbus. The method of repair for this contract will be by saw cutting the panel horizontally to eliminate vertical differences and result in a smooth uniform surface. Grinding, leveling, or other similar repair methods are not allowable for the purpose of this contract. Collection and removal of resulting debris is included as part of the repair and incidental to that work. Any resulting crack or void of ½” or greater is to be filled with an approved material and considered a separate item for payment.
The work for modification 1 will continue the same type of work at additional locations throughout the city, and other such work as may be necessary to complete the contract.
The original contract amount: $ 94,886.00 (PO349498, Ord. 2452-2022)
