Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to modify a contract with CBRE Government Services LLC (CBRE) for facility management services at the Jerry Hammond Center and the Franklin County Municipal Court Building. Since 2007, the Department of Finance and Management has contracted for facility management services for the Jerry Hammond Center at 1111 E. Broad Street and the Franklin County Municipal Court Building at 375 S. High Street.
CBRE is responsible for regularly assessing the conditions of the building and its systems, developing and implementing building operations (including janitorial and security services), performing preventive maintenance, and establishing capital plans necessary to maintain, preserve, and keep the premises in good repair and condition. At the City’s request, CBRE may also act as a liaison and assist in the oversight of the design and build out of building renovations and improvements at these facilities.
This modification is necessary to add additional funding to the facility management agreement. These additional funds are necessary to ensure that CBRE has the proper funding to contract with subcontractors that pay a responsible wage and offer a health insurance benefit to their employees. Additional funding is also needed to fund repairs to a fire suppression line as well as replacement of a domestic water supply line at the Municipal Court Building. Finally, CARES Act Funds are being requested in order to fund COVID-19 barriers at the Municipal Court Building.
The initial term of this contract was awarded pursuant to Ordinance 1223-2019 and was for the period June 1, 2019 - May 31, 2020. Ordinance 0873-2020 authorized the first (1st) of four (4) annual renewals provide for in the contract and is for the period June 1, 2020 - May 31, 2021.
