Explanation
Background
In 2003, the City purchased two office buildings located at 174 and 182 East Long Street where the Central Ohio Area Agency on Aging is located.

This legislation will authorize a 3-month contract extension with Equity Real Estate (Vendor 31-1296257) for building management and maintenance services for the Central Ohio Area Agency on Aging.

Equity Real Estate, the current building managing agent, has a 4-year history and knowledge of the buildings' HVAC and other mechanical problems and has been responsive in making emergency repairs and addressing all other building management issues. The current contract with Equity Real Estate expires March 31, 2007.

Emergency action is requested in order to allow sufficient time for the Central Ohio Area Agency on Aging to secure bids for building management services beginning July 1, 2007 and to provide for continuous service to the facilities for the 3-month period.

Fiscal Impact
$44,590.00 is required and budgeted from the Recreation and Parks Grant Fund to meet the financial obligation of this contract.
