Explanation
BACKGROUND: In December 2021, Ordinance 2605-2021 passed City Council, implementing changes to chapter 329 of the Columbus City Codes. These changes were made to create the Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) delivery method for construction procurement.
The purpose of this ordinance is to clarify portions of chapter 329 to ensure that any CMAR that plans to self-perform any of the construction work is prequalified responsible or prequalified provisionally responsible. Additionally, the CMAR procurement method will be limited to projects estimated to cost more than $2 million.
Emergency justification: An immediate code change is necessary to assure consistency across departments in the use of the CMAR delivery method on projects that are imminently scheduled to go out for bid.
