Explanation
BACKGROUND: This ordinance authorizes the Director of Finance and Management to modify a contract, on behalf of the Facilities Management Division with Winnscapes for landscape maintenance services.
This contract was authorized for renewal via Ordinance 0579-2023. This ordinance seeks authority to modify this contract in order to add landscaping services for the Jerry Hammond Center at 1111 E. Broad St. and for the treatment and cleanup of the impound lot, 2700 Impound Lot Rd.
In previous years The Jerry Hammond Building, was included in a facility management service contract between the City of Columbus and an outside vendor. As of June 1, 2023 the building operations, including janitorial, security services, and landscaping are managed by the Department of Finance and Management, Facilities Management Division; thus the need to modify this contract.
As Winnscapes provides landscape maintenance services for all other buildings owned by the City of Columbus it was deemed necessary to modify the current contract to include the Jerry Hammond Building. Quotes were received from the vendor for the cost of the additional buildings being serviced.
