Explanation

BACKGROUND: The Board of Health has been awarded grant monies through the Ohio Department of Transportation, Safe Routes to School Program. The Board has identified the need for bike and pedestrian safety for elementary and middle school students in the Hilltop and Franklinton areas of Columbus. Activities include education, inspection of bikes and encouraging young bike riders. High School Bike Ambassadors will be identified in the neighborhoods to encourage safety and to educate young riders. The purpose of this ordinance is to authorize a $52,665.00 contract with Consider Biking, Inc., a not-for-profit agency, to assist the Board in providing community education and coordination for bike safety activities in the Hilltop and Franklinton neighborhoods for the time period of May 1, 2011, through December 31, 2011.

The Contract Compliance Number fir Consider Biking, Inc., is 20-1625034. Since Consider Biking, Inc., is a not-for-profit organization, it is exempt from contract compliance.

Emergency action is requested because the grantor has set forth the coordination and education activities to begin while students are still in school and applicable for the students use during the summer school break.

FISCAL IMPACT: This $52,665 contract is entirely funded by the Ohio Department of Transportation, Safe Routes to School Program. This program does not generate revenue nor require a city match.
