Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to modify and increase a contract on behalf of the Office of Construction Management with Capital City Electric, LLC. for the purpose of conducting energy efficient interior lighting renovations on Fire Station, No. 13 at 309 Arcadia Avenue. This ordinance also repeals Ordinance 0361-2012, passed March 5, 2012.
Utilizing federal monies from the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant Program (EECBG) the City of Columbus has been able to retrofit nearly 26 Columbus Fire Stations with energy efficient lighting, occupancy sensors and controls. When the retrofit project began, monies for the completion of all of the Stations was not fully identified so the renovations took place in stages through various contract modifications. When the legislation for the 26th Fire Station monies were not available within the EECBG program so local funding was identified. Since then due to under runs and final quantity estimates from a Department of Public Service pedestrian safety project monies to fully fund these improvements are now available. Therefore, this ordinance repeals ordinance 0361-2012 and essentially reauthorizes the same contract modification, but utilizes funding from the EECBG.
Emergency action is requested so the final renovations can be completed and the city can quickly benefit from the reductions in energy usage and associated costs.
Capital City Electric, LLC. Contract Compliance No. 76-0774593; expiration date September 9, 2012.
Fiscal Impact: The total cost of this contract is, including modifications, is $2,482,473.00.
