Explanation

BACKGROUND: This ordinance authorizes a transfer within the General Government Grant Fund, Rental Rehabilitation Program and authorizes the Director of the Department of Development to enter into a contract with Thompson Building Associates (cc # 31-1020606) to provide services to secure the Edna Building (879 E. Long St.). The contract will provide a total of $87,000; $20,000 from the General Fund and $67,000 of program income from the Rental Rehabilitation Program.

The city purchased this property in 2003. The City Office of Land Redevelopment published a "request for proposals" (RFP) on April 23, 2007 to request redevelopment ideas and qualifications. The RFP Review Panel reviewed the submitted proposals and unanimously recommended against awarding the project at this time. The Panel members suggested that the City of Columbus perform basic renovations to the property (new roof, etc) to protect the building from continued deterioration.

Thompson Building Associates will provide services including, but not limited to, removing the existing, deteriorating roof, removing existing water-damaged flooring, boarding up windows, and preparing drawings and specifications for replacing the roof.

It is necessary to waive competitive bidding requirements due to time constraints.

Emergency action is required so that the securing of this structure will not be delayed.

FISCAL IMPACT: Funds for this contract are allocated from the 2007 General Fund and from program income through the Rental Rehabilitation Program that is generated on the principal of amortized and deferred loans. Additional funds will need to be identified for the actual roof replacement.
