Explanation

Background: This ordinance authorizes the Director of the Recreation and Parks Department to modify Contract No. PO318702, with V.A.T. Inc. for transportation services associated with participant camps and activities as authorized by ORD 0568-2022. The modification is necessary to increase the maximum dollar amount of the contract and to escalate the hourly rates charged for services due to documented increases in the cost of fuel, a necessary supply for the delivery of services. The increased amount authorized by this ordinance is $25,000.00. The hourly rates for all vehicles will increase by $2.00/Hour as indicated on the revised Rate Proposal attached to this legislation. All other terms and conditions of Contract No. PO318702 shall remain in effect. The aggregate total amount authorized, including this modification, will be $108,000.00.

Additional funding for transportation is necessary to support increased off-site programming taking place during summer camps and activities. The added programming will primarily be trips to CRPD pools and other free programs in central Ohio, serving communities disproportionately impacted by the pandemic.

There was no quorum during the July Recreation and Parks Commission Meeting. Per the present Commissioners this ordinance was requested to be sent thru the legislation approval process in order to avoid a delay with this project. There is August recess for Commission and Council.
