Explanation

BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Development to enter into a not-for profit-service contract with the Neighborhood Design Center (NDC) in an amount up to $200,000.00 to manage all aspects of the Power of One - Corridor and Parcel Intervention Program. Approval is also requested for reimbursement of expenses incurred prior to execution of the purchase order.

The City of Columbus entered into contract with NDC, per ordinance number 2030-2021, to create and manage all aspects of the Power of One-Corridor and Parcel Intervention Pilot Program. The contract ended on December 15, 2022.

Building upon their experience assisting the Department of Development with the current Interior/Exterior Grant Program that focuses on improving the small business build environment in the Neighborhood Commercial Revitalization Areas (NCR), NDC will manage a program that looks to improve the small business built environment citywide. NDC will assess, evaluate, and recommend projects for city funding under the program. For projects that are funded, NDC will be available to provide design services as needed.

The services included in this not-for-profit service contract cannot be provided by existing city employees because these services are beyond the City’s current staffing capacity to provide.

FISCAL IMPACT: Funding for the Neighborhood Design Center in an amount up to $200,000.00 has been allocated from the 2023 General Fund Budget.

CONTRACT COMPLIANCE: The vendor’s contract compliance 006529 is active and expires on 3/16/2025.
