Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to establish a purchase order, on behalf of the Office of Construction Management, with Schorr Architects, Inc.
Ordinance 2893-2016 authorized the City Auditor to process expenditure corrections related to previously established purchase orders. The effect of these expenditure corrections resulted in $29,851.36 being transferred from the Department of Finance capital fund to the capital funds of the Departments of Public Safety, Department of Technology, and Department of Public Service in the following amounts; $9,396.42 (Public Safety), $7,660.74 (DoT), and $12,794.20 (Public Service).
While it was the intent of Ordinance 2893-2016 to authorize a subsequent purchase order for these amounts, the necessary ordaining language was not included. Therefore this legislation is required to authorize the establishment of a purchase order so that the expenditure corrected funds can be used for their contracted and Council authorized purpose of providing professional architectural and engineering consulting services for various City renovation projects.
Emergency action is requested so that a purchase order can be established and the necessary professional architectural and engineering consulting services can continue without interruption.
Schorr Architects, Inc. Contract Compliance No. 03-0499713
