Explanation
BACKGROUND: This ordinance authorizes the Director of the Department of Development to amend a contract with YAHS Construction, a Certified Emerging Minority Business Enterprise Company,(cc# 80-0392038, expires June 1, 2013) to provide lawn care service on City owned property being held in the Land Bank and purchased with Neighborhood Stabilization Program Funds. Legislation was approved on June 7, 2010 (0754-2010) to authorize the use of $195,000 (EL 010703) of the Neighborhood Stabilization Funds for lawn care services through March 4, 2013 and to establish two, one-year contract extension periods. A second piece of legislation passed on March 4, 2011 (0343-2011) which allowed for the first one year extension and authorized the expenditure of $20,000 from the General Grant Fund (NSP 2) in order to provide lawn care services for property acquired through NSP 2.
This legislation will amend the contract by providing an additional $10,000 from the General Government Grants Fund (NSP 2) to continue the maintenance of properties acquired through NSP 2 and extend the term through the final contract extension period or until March 4, 2013.
EMERGENCY JUSTIFICATION: Emergency action is required to prevent an interruption in the delivery of these vital contract services.
FISCAL IMPACT: $10,000 for this contract amendment will come from the General Government Grants Fund (NSP 2). This legislation will authorize the Director of the Development Department to amend an existing contract for lawn care services on property acquired through NSP 2.
