Explanation

Background:
The purpose of this legislation is to authorize the appropriation and transfer of $165,423.00 from the Special Income Tax Fund No. 430 to the Voted 1995 and 1999 Parks and Recreation Bond Fund No. 702; and, to authorize the Director of Recreation and Parks to enter into a contract with Jones Stuckey Ltd. for professional services related to the Clintonville/Olentangy Trail Bridge, in the amount of $165,423.00.

Jones Stuckey Ltd. is being selected for this project from proposals received from nine consulting firms, on February 6, 2004. It was determined that Jones Stuckey Ltd.'s proposal and experience far exceeded the other firms. Jones Stuckey Ltd. was selected based on experience, availability, and knowledge of the project site.

The contract in the amount of $165,423 will be awarded to Jones Stuckey Ltd. in accordance with the provisions of Section 329.12 of the Columbus City Codes.

The Contract Compliance Number for Jones Stuckey Ltd., is #31-0723296. A contingency amount of $20,000.00 is being included in this project.

This ordinance is submitted as an emergency to allow the financial transaction to be posted in the City's accounting system as soon as possible.

Fiscal Impact:
The transfer of $165,423.00 from the Special Income Tax Fund to the Voted 1995 and 1999 Parks and Recreation Bond Fund is a temporary measure until the City sells notes or bonds to fund these improvements.
