Explanation
1. BACKGROUND:
This ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Service to modify a professional services contract with LAZ KARP Associates, LLC, for the Off-Street Parking Management Services contract. The intent of this contract is to provide the City of Columbus, Division of Parking Services, additional resources that are necessary to perform various professional and technical tasks for the management of the City’s off-street parking facilities. The contract engages LAZ KARP Associates to operate parking garages and parking lots on behalf of the City.
Ordinance 3148-2021 authorized the Director of Public Service to enter into a professional services contract for Off-Street Parking Management Services for the term of January 10, 2022, through December 31, 2024, with the option to extend the contract for two successive one year terms. This contract modification will:
1.) Add the surface lot at 151 North Garfield Avenue to the list of managed facilities.
2.) Add $500,000.00 to pay for the management and operation of the added lot and continued services for the existing facilities.
3.) Change the initial contract end date and subsequent renewal dates from December 31, 2024, to April 30, 2025, so that they are more in line with the city's budget cycle.
4.) Change terms and conditions to eliminate the conflicting language concerning making changes to the list of managed locations, making it clear additions/deletions to the list of managed locations can be done without the need of a contract modification.
5.) Make minor changes to clarify other terms and conditions as needed.
The original contract amount: $949,144.63 (PO339839, Ord. 3148-2021)
The total of modification 1: $500,000.00 (This Ordinance, 2360-2022)
