Explanation
On December 16, 2013, Columbus City Council passed Ordinance 2808-2013 to modernize Chapter 329 of the Columbus City Codes, 1959. As summarized in Section 5 of the ordinance, it reflects the culmination of efforts put forth by Columbus City Council, the Administration and a working group of local business people, relative to best practices for procurement of construction services.
Implementation of the aforementioned ordinance is underway. It was anticipated that during this phase, minor clarifying corrections would be necessary. These clarifying corrections include:
· clarifying the definition of a licensed construction trade;
