Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to modify and increase a contract on behalf of the Office of Construction Management with Miles McClellan for project management services.
The original contract was authorized by Ordinance No. 1126-2010, passed July 21, 2010, for project management services and was subsequently modified by Ordinance No. 1129-2011, passed June 25, 2011 and again by Ordinance No. 1921-2012, passed October 3, 2012. This contract was bid and established with the understanding that it could be modified from time to time with the authority City Council. A modification is necessary to allow for continued project management services. The requested consulting services are for contract administration and other project management tasks necessary to perform work associated with the renovation and repair of City buildings. The work will be executed on behalf of the Office of Construction Management, in order to meet the operational needs of various departments of the City of Columbus.
Due to the fact that Miles McClellan was awarded the original contract, a modification with Miles McClellan is the logical and most expeditious option for addressing the additional project management services. Involving another firm at this point would likely lead to logistical problems, the possibility of errors, and the need to redesign and reengineer many items already completed. Therefore, it would not be in the best interests of the City to rebid. Prices already established in the contract were used to determine the cost of this modification.
Emergency action is requested so that project management services necessary to perform work associated with the renovation and repair of City buildings can occur.
