The Graffiti Assistance Program helps the owners of residentially and commercially zoned property to comply with the law by offering a no-cost graffiti removal service. The program removes graffiti from surfaces of various structures on occupied property including, but not limited to: private residential and commercial structures, fences, and garages, where the owner has provided prior authorization to enter and remove the graffiti.
In 2024, a Request for Quotations (RFQ026991) was published, and Walter Watts was awarded PO441969 as the only bidder. The Director of Building and Zoning Services entered into contract with Walter Watts under the authority of Columbus City Code Section 329.19. The contract period is from May 1, 2024 to April 30, 2025.
Due to an internal clerical error, the department’s program manager assigned work to Walter Watts in excess of available contract funding. Walter Watts completed the assigned work order. The department incurred these additional costs according to the agreed-upon price schedule of the original contract.
Modifying the agreement to add funds will allow the Department of Building and Zoning Services to compensate Walter Watts for services already rendered.
FISCAL IMPACT: Funding for this contract modification is budgeted in the 2025 Building and Zoning Services general fund budget. This ordinance is contingent on the passage of 2025 General Fund Budget, Ordinance 3035-2024.
CONTRACT COMPLIANCE: The vendor’s contract compliance number, 041229, expires on 8/15/2026.
