Explanation
BACKGROUND: This ordinance authorizes the Finance and Management Director to modify a contract for the Facilities Management Division with Field & Associates, Inc., in the amount of $40,000.00 for the renovation of the roof at 757 Carolyn Avenue. The original contract was authorized by Ordinance 1234-2005, passed July 27, 2005. The modification is requested in order to have this project comply with the Mayor's policy directive "Get Green Columbus 2005: Environmental Stewardship in the 21st Century." The policy directive calls for the City to follow Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) criteria when constructing, remodeling, or refurbishing public facilities. The original contract amount was $478,700.00, which included a $45,000.00 contingency. The change order for incorporating LEED is $61,950.00. This modification of $40,000.00 will provide for the change order, leaving $23,050.00 for a contingency. This ordinance also authorizes the City Auditor to transfer $40,000.00 from the Special Income Tax Fund to the Facilities Management Capital Improvement Fund.
Emergency action is requested so that the contractor will not have to delay the project due to underfunding.
Fiscal Impact: The Facilities Management Division budgeted $490,000.00 in the Capital Improvement Budget for this project. The cost of this contract, including this modification of $40,000.00 is $518,700.00. Currently, the Facilities Management Capital Improvement Fund has no cash. The Special Income Tax fund has a sufficient budget to support this appropriation. Field & Associates, Inc. Contract Compliance 31-0516695, exp. 09/28/2007.
