Explanation
Background: This ordinance authorizes the Director of Recreation and Parks to enter into a Guaranteed Maximum Price Contract under Section 186 of the Columbus City Charter with Wagenbrenner Management Company for the demolition and environmental remediation of the property located at 577-585 West 2nd Avenue ( the former Compton property) and the removal of some structures on the park property along the Scioto River bank south of this property. This work is the first phase of the planned park improvements for the Harrison West Park using bond proceeds provided by the Columbus-Franklin County Finance Authority under the Cooperative Agreement between the Authority and the City authorized by Ordinance No. 1855-2007. Revenues to support the bond issuance are derived from the Harrison West Redevelopment Incentive District created by Ordinance No. 0670-2004. Because this contract is being entered into under Section 186 of the Charter, competitive bidding is not required and therefore it is necessary to waive the competitive bidding procedures of Chapter 329. Wagenbrenner Management Company has been working with the Harrison West Society over the last several years to develop this new park at Perry and First Streets in the Harrison West neighborhood as an adjunct to its redevelopment of the former AC Humko site.
The Contract Compliance Number for Wagenbrenner Management Company is 31-1491162 and compliance is good through 06/04/2010.
Fiscal Impact: Funding for the contract will come out of the bond proceeds deposited in Fund No. 788 pursuant to Ordinance No. 1855-2007.
