Ordinance would let city hire The Ruhlin Company as construction manager for downtown infrastructure
Summary
A draft ordinance before Wadsworth's Committee of the Whole would authorize the Director of Public Service to contract The Ruhlin Company as construction manager at risk for the Downtown Infrastructure Project; the ordinance text leaves the Guaranteed Maximum Price unspecified and includes an emergency clause and a 10% change-order cap.
A draft ordinance presented to the Committee of the Whole on June 2 would authorize the Director of Public Service to enter into a Construction Manager at Risk contract with The Ruhlin Company for the Downtown Infrastructure Project. The ordinance text states the total Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) "shall not exceed $???" and allows change orders so long as the city's total obligation does not exceed the awarded bid plus 10 percent.
The ordinance includes an emergency clause meant to make the measure effective immediately if it receives a two-thirds council vote; if it passes by a simple majority it would take effect at the earliest time permitted by law. The text also cites compliance with Section 121.22 of the Ohio Revised Code regarding open meetings. The draft leaves the sponsor field blank and does not specify the GMP amount or a vote outcome in the transcript.
