Explanation
1. BACKGROUND:
This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into a capital improvements agreement with the Columbus Board of Education for the construction of the sewer separation improvements that are being incorporated into the Board's Fort Hayes Facilities Improvements Project.

The Columbus Board of Education is currently constructing facility improvements to the Fort Hayes property, that is located along Cleveland Ave. immediately east of downtown Columbus. The City has been undertaking sewer separation projects in this area for several years now and the Fort Hayes site has components of this separation that need to be installed. In order to avoid having the City disturb new and expensive land improvements, thereby incurring much higher construction costs, the Board of Education has agreed to incorporate the City's sewer separation improvements into its development plans. The developer has further agreed to provide the construction plans and specifications and the permanent and temporary easements at no cost to the City. In exchange for this, the City shall agree to reimburse the developer for documented construction and related costs that are associated with the subject capital improvements project, up to a maximum of $542,044.59.

B. Bid Information: In accordance with Section 186 of the Columbus City Charter, this contract shall contain a guaranteed maximum cost and stipulate that the city shall pay within such maximum the cost of labor and materials to be paid to the developer. As a condition of the agreement the developer is required to comply with the competitive bidding procedures of Section 329 of the Columbus City Codes, "Procurement of Goods and Services:, and with the Prevailing Wage Requirements of Chapter 4115 of the Ohio Revised Code.

2. FISCAL IMPACT
