Explanation
Background: On November 28, 2005, ordinance 1678-2005 passed by the Columbus City Council, authorized the Franklin County Municipal Court to enter into a contract with 3SG Corporation to convert existing civil, criminal, environmental and traffic case files into electronic images, and to provide shredding and offsite storage during the conversion process in order to comply with Department of Public Safety, Division of Fire codes. Due to the unforeseen magnitude and scope of the project by the previous administration, the number of documents required to be imaged were underestimated. This contract modification will allow the Contractor to continue to image the remaining number of documents to complete the first phase of the project.
Columbus City Code 329.16 Contract Modifications:
1. Amount of additional funds to be expended under this modification: $1,133,093.00.
2. The magnitude of the project was unforeseen by the previous administration due to an inaccurate estimation of the documents required to be imaged to complete phase I of the project.
3. The work under this contract modification is the continuation of the work previously performed by the Contractor; therefore, to maintain the continuity and to complete the project as well as to negate costly start-up charges, it would not be in the City's best interest to have additional contract requirements awarded through other procurement processes specified in chapter 329.
4. The cost, and terms and conditions are in accordance with the original contract: number EL005707, negotiated between the Contractor and the City of Columbus (Clerk) as documented by the Contractor's proposal.
Contract Amount:

- Modification Number One: $1,133,093.00
- New Contract Amount: $2,200,000.00
