Explanation
BACKGROUND: This ordinance authorizes the Director of the Department of Development to amend a contract (EL013380) with Wendell Hill dba The Shining Company, a Certified Emerging Minority Business Enterprise Company, (cc# 311303398, expires March 1, 2014) who provides initial clean-up of vacant and abandoned properties acquired by the Land Bank, as well as continuing maintenance of sites currently held in the Land Bank. A majority of the recently acquired sites have been vacant and neglected for an extended period of time, requiring a higher than usual amount of clean-up work. Therefore, additional funding for this contract is necessary.
The Shining Company was awarded a $30,000 contract as the result of providing the lowest, most responsive bid to a request for bids (2011 SA004047). An additional $15,000 is necessary in order to complete the additional work.
FISCAL IMPACT: Funds for this contract are allocated from the Land Management Fund ($15,000).
EMERGENCY JUSTIFICATION: Emergency action is necessary to prevent the interruption of delivery of vital contract services.
