Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to renew a contract on behalf of the Office of Construction Management with BBCO Design for Professional Architectural and Engineering Services. Ordinance 1011-2017 authorized the original contract in an amount up to $300,000.00.
The intent of the contract is to provide the Office of Construction Management with contractual resources for professional Architectural/Engineering (A/E) services as well as provide technical expertise to implement projects for various City of Columbus departments. BBCO Design is responsible for architectural designs and construction administration for projects, including civil engineering; programming/space planning, site development, full design, cost estimating, construction inspection, shop drawing review, geotechnical and environmental site assessment, landscaping design, and other services as requested for the completion of the project. In addition to typical architectural design, BBCO Design may conduct peer review and/or constructability services.
The original RFP and associated contract provided for three (3) annual renewals so that existing capital design projects could continue under the direction of the Finance and Management Director. This ordinance seeks authority to exercise the first annual renewal option. The current contract expires May 2018.
BBCO Design Contract Compliance No. 27-1134922
