Explanation
Background: This legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Development to amend a contract with Civil and Environmental Consultants for environmental clean up work at the Wheatland Avenue Property in the Hilltop Area. The City paid Civil and Environmental Consultants for clean up work and then Civil and Environmental Consultants later sought and received reimbursement from a State of Ohio grant. Civil and Environmental Consultants reimbursed the City of Columbus for expenditures from Contract EL-007208 and has requested that these funds be restored to their contract and purchase order so that additional clean up work can be completed on this site.
Emergency action is requested so that work on the project may continue without interruption.
Fiscal Impact: The City has received reimbursement from Civil and Environmental Consultants for expenditures that were reimbursed under a State of Ohio grant. This legislation appropriates the amount of the reimbursement ($60,662.47) and authorizes a contract amendment in the same amount.
