Explanation

Background:
The City of Columbus has a continuing relationship with the Columbus Downtown Development Corporation. In the interest of efficiency and recognition of work previously completed, a modification of Ordinance No. 2670-2003 is needed to allow the Columbus Downtown Development Corporation to waive section 329.12 of the Columbus City Code regarding awarding of professional service contracts.

This ordinance authorized the Director of Recreation and Parks to enter into contract with the Columbus Downtown Development Corporation for the administration of the Riverfront Development Project from Battelle Park to Bicentennial Park.

Columbus Downtown Development Corporation will enter into contract with consulting firms for the preparation of plans and specifications for the implementation of the riverfront plan.

Waiving section 329.12 of the Columbus City Code will allow Columbus Downtown Development Corporation to proceed with the selection of consultants and the project to proceed efficiently.

Emergency action is necessary to allow contracts to be signed as soon as possible so the Riverfront Development Project can continue to proceed on time.

Fiscal Impact:
