This ordinance seeks authorization for the Director of the Department of Public Service to enter into a Guaranteed Maximum Reimbursement Agreement for an infrastructure master plan with Columbus Downtown Development Corporation (CDDC), for up to $113,300.11, for the Roadway Improvements - Scioto Peninsula project.

The scope of public improvements for the master plan portion of the Roadway Improvements - Scioto Peninsula project, include, but are not limited to, sanitary sewer analysis, storm water master planning, traffic volume data collection, traffic analysis, water main analysis, environmental assessment screening, utility coordination, cost estimating, scheduling, and analyses reporting documents.
