This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Service to enter into a professional services contract with Woolpert through the City's RFP process in the amount of up to $620,000.00 for the Operation Sidewalks - School Sidewalks - Near South project.
The intent of the RFP is to provide the City of Columbus, Department of Public Service, with continuing, contractual access to additional resources that are necessary to perform professional engineering and survey services as well as provide technical expertise for the Department to implement sidewalk projects to provide improved pedestrian access to schools.
