Memorandum
Attached for your review and approval is a resolution to approve Amendment No. 1 to the Professional Services Agreement with Orchard, Hiltz & McCliment, Inc. (OHM) in the amount of $38,200.00, and amend the project design budget to $310,826.00 for the design of Huron Parkway-Nixon Road Improvement Project.

A change order for additional public engagement work was awarded on August 14, 2007 in the amount of $15,000.00 for a new total design contract of $194,626.00.
The scope of the original contract included a public engagement process in conjunction with the design of a roundabout at the intersection. Attachment A shows the recommended option which was selected based on a number of criteria including providing a high level of service, low maintenance costs, safe vehicular and pedestrian operation, minimizing the amount of additional easement that City would need to purchase near the intersection, and aesthetics. The original project design work also included an inspection of Nixon Road south of the intersection.
As a result of the Nixon Road inspection, it was determined that Nixon Road should be reconstructed from Huron Parkway to Plymouth Road. We recommend that the full reconstruction of Nixon Road south of the intersection be added to this project. The proposed amendment to OHM is for the preparation of the design of this section of Nixon Road for its inclusion with the intersection project.
