Explanation
Background: The Director of the Department of Development entered into a Reimbursement Agreement (DL010702) with Columbus Urban Growth Corporation (CUGC) in April 2005 to oversee the design of the remaining roadways in Northland Park. At that time, the cost of design services was estimated at $450,000. Now that Home Depot will not be occupying the site, engineering documents for the Tamarack Boulevard extension need to be produced. Partially completed designs were purchased from Home Depot as a shortcut to producing final engineering documents. This unforeseen expense requires a modification in the dollars allocated to the design phase.
Fiscal Impact: $55,000 is available in the 2006 Capital Improvement Budget in the Northland and Other Acquisitions Fund and the Voted 1995, 1999, 2004 Streets and Highways Fund.
Title
To authorize the Director of Development to amend the Reimbursement Agreement for Northland Park - Phase 2 Design with Columbus Urban Growth Corporation by increasing the dollars allocated to this contract by $55,000 and by increasing the Scope of Services to include design of Tamarack Boulevard; and to authorize the expenditures of $20,000 from the Northland and Other Acquisitions Fund and $35,000 from the Voted 1995, 1999, 2004 Streets and Highways Fund. ($55,000.00)
