Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Development to modify three emergency shelter repair agreements with Southeast Inc by extending the agreement termination date of each from December 31, 2020 to June 30, 2021.
The city entered into three separate agreements for the repairs to be made at one location: 924 E. Main Street, Columbus, Ohio 43025.
The first agreement was authorized under ordinance 2997-2018 (PO152999), the second agreement was authorized under ordinance 2398-2019 (PO196106), and the third agreement was authorized under ordinance 2819-2019 (PO208904). This time extension for each agreement 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.
Emergency action is requested to meet the project schedule.
FISCAL IMPACT: No additional funds are needed for these modifications.
CONTRACT COMPLIANCE: the vendor number is 004491 and expires 10/2/2022.
