Explanation

Background: This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to enter into three contracts for the Facilities Management Division related to the remediation of a floor settling problem at 220 Greenlawn Avenue. This building is home to the Support Services Division, and was built in 1964 on a former landfill. The land beneath the building has settled significantly in the forty years since its construction.

The water penetration may be backflow from the Scioto River, which abuts the property.

(MBE), Fox Mechanical Company, and Bomar Construction Co., Inc. (FBE). Dynamix will provide engineering, Fox Mechanical will be responsible for the repair of any mechanical problems (e.g. pipes, etc.), and Bomar Construction will be responsible for completing other work, such as lifting sunken floors.

The total amount of these contracts is not to exceed $300,000.00. Upon completion of the engineer's report, the funding amount necessary for each vendor will be determined.
