Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Development to establish a purchase order for $540,000 for the purpose of providing building repair and stabilization services to properties held in the Land Bank Program. The services will include roof repair and replacement, exterior repairs, environmental and structural consultation, and similar improvements to land bank property.
The purchase order will be established per the State Requirements contract with McDaniel’s Construction Corporation, Inc. Ordinance #582-87 authorizes City agencies to participate in the Ohio Department of Administrative Services (DAS) cooperative contracts when deemed to be “cost effective” to the City of Columbus. The State of Ohio bid the JOC through the use of a unit price book which provides for preset costs for specific construction tasks. Winning bidders were selected based on their mark-up or discount from these preset costs. The Department of Development wishes to use this contract to measure its effectiveness in comparison to the traditional construction procurement method. The terms and pricing of this purchase order are based upon the State of Ohio contract RS#901512 that is available for use by political sub-divisions of the State of Ohio.
Emergency action is necessary to allow the Land Bank program to immediately start the repair of Land Bank structures.
FISCAL IMPACT: $540,000 is allocated for this expenditure from the Housing Preservation Fund portion of the 2012 Capital Improvement Budget.
