Explanation
BACKGROUND:
This legislation will repeal ordinance # 0659-2011 which authorized the Director of the Columbus Recreation and Parks Department to enter into a guaranteed maximum price agreement with Columbus Downtown Development Corporation (CDDC) for the administration of the Columbus Commons Park Project in the amount of $1,000,000.00. It has been determined that a grant agreement is a more appropriate method of funding for this project.

This legislation will authorize the Director of the Columbus Recreation and Parks Department to enter into a grant agreement with CDDC. This is the first of two $1,000,000.00 agreements. Total Recreation and Parks commitment to this project is $2,000,000.00.

The services provided by CDDC under the terms of the grant agreement for the Columbus Commons Park project will include planning, engineering, design, construction, and related services to continue developing the Columbus Commons downtown park.

Principal Parties:

Fiscal Impact:
The expenditure of $1,000,000.00 is budgeted in the Recreation and Parks Voted Recreation and Parks Bond Fund.
