Explanation

BACKGROUND: This ordinance authorizes the Directors of the Departments of Development and the Public Service to enter into a development agreement with Habitat for Humanity Greater Columbus, for street and infrastructure improvements in the public right of way. The project, Habitat Village, is in the Columbus Public School District and located in an area bounded by Weber Road south, Abner Road north, Melva Road west and Hamilton Road east. The project will contain 9 single-family homes.

Earlier legislation passed by City Council should have waived the competitive bidding provisions of the Columbus City Codes, 1959, and have included a provision that allows the Directors of Public Service and Development to accept Letter of Credit in lieu of a Performance Bond.

Emergency action is requested so that the development agreement can be in place during the construction season.

FISCAL IMPACT: Funds for this project are from the Voted 1995, 1999, 2004 Streets and Highways Fund capital improvements budget.
