Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Development to modify Agreement PO-196106 with Southeast Inc by extending the Agreement termination date from December 31, 2020 to June 30, 2021. This extension will allow Southeast Inc to fully complete emergency shelter repairs of real property located at 924 E Main St, Columbus, OH 43205.
One of the impacts of COVID-19 was the quarantine period in which the Southeast, Inc could not get a company in the building to work. Southeast Inc.’s ability to complete the bathroom renovation and life safety items tied to shelter capacity expansion has been affected by unanticipated delays due to difficulty in getting contractors to work at the shelter during the COVID-19 pandemic. The original general contractor hired to complete the work abandoned the job and Southeast, Inc had to identify and hire multiple independent contractors to complete various aspects of the work. Currently repairs are in progress. This legislation would modify the Agreement authorized by Ordinance No. 2819-2019.
Emergency action is requested so repair activities can continue and be completed without further delay.
FISCAL IMPACT: No additional funds are needed for this modification.
