Explanation
Background: This legislation authorizes the Public Service Director to modify the existing contract with Capital Crossroads Special Improvement District (SID), by an amount not to exceed $50,000.00, for the construction of downtown Wayfinding signage and kiosk mounted pedestrian Wayfinding maps. The additional work involves installing kiosk's and signage on behalf of the Short North SID within the Short North's boundaries. This is a public-private partnership involving Capital Crossroads SID (assisting with design, fabrication, and installation), the Short North SID, the Development Department and the Public Service Department. The Short North SID is providing $50,000.00 in funding in addition to the City funding.
This modification is an addition to the original scope of services but is a continuation of the existing work being performed. The design and fabrication prices will be at original unit costs.
Fiscal Impact: Cash is available in the Streets and Highways G.O. Bonds Fund for the Transportation Division.
Emergency action is requested for modification of the existing contract at the earliest possible date to enable the project to be completed during this construction season.
