Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to modify a contract on behalf of the Office of Construction Management with Messer Construction Company for the 111 North Front Street Building and Garage Project. This project involves the construction of a new office building to be located at 111 North Front Street and a new parking garage to be located at 141 North Front Street; for which the initial contract was authorized via Ordinance 1792-2015.
As part of the garage a shared use bike hub is to be constructed, minimally for employees, and hopefully for others. Though final determinations have not been made, the goal of the shared use bike hub is for it to also be open to the public - not only a place to securely store a bicycle while not in use, but also a location to learn about topics such as how to safely ride a bike, routes and options available to cyclists, and information regarding upcoming bikeway projects. The facility will serve an important purpose in supporting mode shift resulting in reduced roadway congestion, increased safety, and improved air quality. Users of the shared use bike hub may be able to access a variety of services such as secure short- and long-term bike parking, showers, wash-rooms, and possibly maintenance services and locker facilities.
Emergency action is requested so that appropriate funding can be allocated and the project can proceed without delay.
