Explanation
BACKGROUND:
This ordinance will authorize the Director of Recreation and Parks to enter into a Guaranteed Maximum contract with Columbus Downtown Development Corporation for the administration of the Columbus Commons Park Project in the amount of $1,000,000.00. This agreement is the first of two $1,000,000.00 agreements. Total Recreation and Parks commitment to this project is $2,000,000.00.

It has been determined that it will be beneficial to have the Columbus Downtown Development Corporation, 150 S Front Street, Suite 210, Columbus, Ohio, 43215, perform the administration of this project as it will allow for better coordination with other significant downtown projects.

Work will include planning, engineering, design, construction, and related services to continue developing the Columbus Commons downtown park.

The Contract Compliance Number for Columbus Downtown Development Corporation is #76-0704655.

Emergency action is necessary to allow Columbus Downtown Development Corporation to begin work as soon as possible as plans for the park are moving forward.

FISCAL IMPACT:
The expenditure of $1,000,000.00 is budgeted in the Recreation and Parks Voted Bond Fund.
