BACKGROUND
This legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Development to renew and modify (Modification No. 2) a contract with BCN Real Estate Holdings LLC for an additional year under the Board to Code and Miscellaneous Services program.
Original contract amount $ 5,000.00 Ord. N/A PO310640
Modification No. 1 amount $ 250.00 Ord 2038-2022
Modification No. 2 amount $10,000.00
Total contract amount $15,250.00
The purpose of the Board to Code and Miscellaneous Services program is to provide services that include securing properties held in the Land Bank in a way which protects them from permeation of all outside elements (i.e. water, snow, animals, squatters, etc).

The bids allow the establishment of one year contracts with an option to extend an additional year.
The Department of Development advertised RFQ020244 on Vendor Services in October 2021 for the Board to Code and Miscellaneous Services program and 2 bids were received. The Director of Development entered into contract with 2 bidders under the authority of Columbus City Code Section 329.19. The original contract period commenced from the date of approval of the purchase order to February 28, 2023, with an option to renew one additional year, through February 28, 2024. Advertising for services annually would interrupt the program and possibly result a delay in providing these services. The fee for services in the contract renewal will be the same as that of the original contract.
The contract was modified with Ordinance 2038-2022 to include a fuel surcharge.
