Explanation

The purpose of this legislation is to reimburse Gateway Area Revitalization Initiative (GARI), an Ohio not-for-profit corporation, for preliminary design costs associated with the Gateway Area project on East Eleventh Avenue between North High Street and IR-71. By agreement between GARI and the Director of the Development Department, the City has agreed to provide a signature streetscape for Eleventh Avenue as a continuation of the Gateway improvements. EMH&T has provided design services for GARI in connection with the Gateway project and has performed work applicable to the proposed Eleventh Avenue improvements. Accordingly, EMH&T has been retained by GARI as the designer of this streetscape and has proposed preliminary design services in the amount of $64,130.00. These services include a survey of the project limits; proposals of options for consideration regarding pavement, sidewalk, lighting, signalization and other improvements and a cost analysis for use in determining the scope of the streetscape improvements, among other deliverables.

Funding is available from two different sources, $60,000.00 from the economic development project within the 1995, 1999 Voted Streets and Highways Fund, which this ordinance transfers to the OSU Community Improvements project in that same fund, and $4,130.00 from the Urban Infrastructure Recovery project within the Development Fund.

Gateway Area Revitalization Initiative's contract compliance number is 31-1700935.

Emergency action is requested so that this project can proceed in a timely manner to keep commitments made to the community.
