Explanation
Background: Various City offices are being relocated from the 109 N. Front Street building to allow for the demolition of that functionally obsolete structure. The majority of these offices are being moved to the Beacon Building at 50 W. Gay Street. After review of the needs of the Equal Business Opportunity Commission Office (EBOCO), it was determined that EBOCO’s mission would be best served if its offices were located in office space available on the second floor of the city-owned office building located at 1393 E. Broad Street. In order to adapt the second floor space to best accommodate the office needs of EBOCO, a number of minor renovations of the second floor are necessary such as construct walls, install an ADA compliant entry to the office suite, make several adjustments to electrical and lighting fixtures, paint, and install carpeting. This ordinance establishes an auditor's certificate and authorizes the Director of Finance and Management to enter into various contracts or to establish purchase orders necessary for the renovation of the second floor of 1393 E. Broad Street and the move of the City’s Equal Business Opportunity Office. Bids have been solicited and contracts will be awarded in accordance with the competitive bidding provisions of the Columbus City Codes.
Fiscal Impact: This legislation authorizes the expenditure of up to $90,000.00 for the building and office renovations necessary. Sufficient funding is available in Capital Project: 590701 - 100000, 1393 E. Broad St. Lease Fund.
Emergency Justification: Emergency action is requested to immediately proceed with funding while the bidding is in process so that the office space can be made available as soon as possible.
