Explanation
Background: This legislation authorizes a modification to the agreement with Columbus Urban Growth Corporation for the Mound and Souder Roadway Improvements. This project was designed to improve Mound Street at Souder Avenue in conjunction with the West Edge Business Center. (See the attached map.)
A contract modification is desirable to produce construction drawings for improvements to public roads internal to the West Edge Business Center site including Buchanan Drive, Van Buren Drive and Pierce Drive from Mt. Calvary Avenue to Harmon Avenue.
This modification is an addition to the original scope of services but is a continuation of the existing work and would be more expensive to contract this design work separately. Columbus Urban Growth has contracted a design firm (Moody-Nolan) to complete the design plans on their behalf.
The amount of this modification was determined by negotiation with Columbus Urban Growth and their consultant.
The original contract amount was for $103,000.00. This first modification was for $20,000.00. This modification is for $70,000.00. The contract amount including all modifications is $193,000.00.
Emergency action is requested so that the design work can continue without interruption.
Fiscal Impact: This ordinance certifies against the Special Income Tax Fund in the amount of $70,000.00. The Special Income Tax Fund certification is a temporary measure until the City sells notes or bonds to fund this capital improvement and is necessary because the Transportation Division has exhausted all cash in its 1995, 1999 Voted Streets and Highways Fund. CC #31-1464683.
