This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Service to enter into professional service contracts with Moody Nolan, Inc., in an amount of up to $500,000.00 for Phase 1 of design for the Miscellaneous Economic Development - Confluence Village Garage project. Phase 1 will encompass programming, schematic design, and design development tasks; while Phase 2 will include final design, producing construction documents, close-out tasks, and services as needed during construction. A contract modification is anticipated to fund Phase 2.
The contract will provide the City of Columbus, Department of Public Service, additional resources for professional design services for the construction of a new parking garage.
