Agenda Report # 31
TO: Mayor and Councilors
SUBJECT: Purchase Authorizations
INITIATED BY: Finance Department
(A) HAZARDOUS-DUTY ROBOT UPGRADE
It is requested that Council approve the purchase of an upgrade to the Remotec
Andros F6A hazardous-duty robot from REMOTEC (Oak Ridge, Tennessee) in the
amount of $65,394.00.
In 2003, per Resolution #554-03, Council approved the purchase of the Rometec
Andros F6A robot. The upgrade is required for the equipment due to its age.
Additionally, upgraded features are required to allow the bomb technicians to
remain at a safe distance, and in a safe location, when handling potentially
hazardous items and/or situations.
The hazardous-duty robot is used by the Hazardous Devices Response Team to
handle explosives, nuclear surveillance, HazMat operations, Special Response
Team Operations and Airport Security. The robot is designed to have
all-terrain capabilities coupled with enhanced speed. This will enable bomb
technicians to handle incidents more efficiently. The robot can be operated by
either remote application or by fiber-optic cable. The unit features include
an environmentally sealed design, forty-five degree climbing ability,
quick-change tool assemblies and multiple cameras.
Funding is budgeted in the FY15 Budget: Multi-Govt Project Fund ? Sheriff ?
FY13 DHS Homeland Security Grant ? Capital Expenditures Over $5000,

Commissioner?s Office track and assess property. The system needs to be
upgraded to enhance its functionality and efficiency for the two departments.
The upgrade is requested for the following reasons:

architecture
o Currently on OASIS version 7.0
o Upgraded Version - iasWorld
? Allow for real-time, online taxpayer interface
? Allow for integration with other departments

TAX COMMISSIONER
? Payments cannot be made online ? upgrade would reduce walk-ins & calls
? Cannot currently accept credit or debit card payments with current system
? Consolidation of multiple screens being used to obtain information
? Current payoffs for taxes cannot be obtained online
? Upgrade would allow for reduction in duplication of work between TA/TC in
Homestead audits
o Reduce Errors
o Increased system security
o Internal Controls
? Billing would be simplified with new system.
o Reduce mail-outs from 2 to 1 (reduced postage)
o Pathway to electronic billing open
TAX ASSESSORS
? Streamline operations
o Currently working in two systems (Wingap & OASIS), upgrade would eliminate
that need
? Appeals Tracking Module
o Support for BOE appeals, reporting
o Easier review & comparison of properties under appeal
? Real-time acquisition & manipulation of reports
? Access to data & programs in the field
? Property would held to identify incorrectly assessed properties
o New construction on properties
o Identify invalid/incorrect/multiple homestead exemptions
o Identify any unassessed properties
Funding for the purchase of the upgrade will be made available via the GMA
Lease Purchase Program Fund 0542 with the debt service paid by the
OLOST-Infrastructure Fund 0109. This is estimated at $550,000-$600,000 per
year for 5 years beginning in FY16. The funding for the Reappraisal
$1,700,000 will be a transfer from the General Fund to the Special Projects
Fund 0508 of $490,000 in FY15, $660,000 in FY16, and $550,000 in FY17. Cash
payment in FY15 is deferred to FY16. The Annual Maintenance will be budgeted

(E) CITY VILLAGE MASTER PLAN ? RFP NO. 14-0017
It is requested that Council authorize the execution of a contract with
Zyscovich Architects (Miami, FL) for the City Village Master Plan. Zyscovich
Architects will provide the following services:
A. VISIONING PROCESS
The Visioning process will engage community stakeholders to help establish a
"sense of place" for the City Village area, as the community is not widely
recognized as its own neighborhood. The Bibb City community located to the
North is widely recognized and it is important not to infringe on their
community identity. The Columbus Whitewater Project opened during summer 2013
and has inevitably brought more awareness to the river and this particular
section of town due to its proximity to the entrance of the whitewater course.
B. DESIGN STANDARDS
Once a clear vision of the community is established, design standards for the
area will be created to incentivize investment and protect what stakeholders
have deemed to be important.
The design standards may be in the form of a revised zoning code (i.e. form
based zoning) or an overlay district that governs the type and style of infill
along with future renovation work. The design of the community will not only
enhance and create a welcome environment for economic development, but respect
and preserve the architectural character that remains in many of the original
structures.
The overall design of the area should help resolve the eroding residential and
retail environment within the community that is related to a loss of character,
decreased maintenance, and unplanned development patterns. Context-sensitive
neighborhood commercial revitalization is needed as many of these areas are
fragile and will deteriorate rapidly if action is not taken soon.
C. TRANSPORTATION ~ MULTI-MODAL ~ CONNECTIVITY
Traffic volumes along Second Avenue are mainly pass-through travelers. Second
Avenue takes residents that live on the north side of Columbus to their jobs at
TSYS, Synovus, City Government and Aflac. It is also the direct connection from
the JR Allen Parkway and the Interstate, therefore, it will be the route
traveled by many whitewater visitors. It should operate at a high capacity;
however, it should also serve as a gateway to our community that welcomes
travelers with a diverse range of businesses, appropriate access management and
ample parking and operate as City Village?s neighborhood servicing commercial
corridor.
When traveling on Second Avenue one would not know that they are one block from
the Chattahoochee River. There is not visual connection to the River from
Second Avenue. The plan will include a way to create streetscapes and
wayfinding systems that will draw the traveler to turn down the side streets
and explore First Avenue and the Riverwalk/Whitewater.
Finally, along First Avenue and the side streets, all travelers should have
access. These streets should include bicycle and pedestrian connectivity.
Residents and tourists should be able to park their car and walk or ride their
bikes to local shops and restaurants and interact with green space and the
River. A physical and visual connection to Uptown that is transitional in
nature must also be created. This may require infrastructure improvements,
parking and streetscapes. This connection should also be multimodal.
D. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ~ VILLAGE ~ NEIGHBORHOOD BUSINESSES
Economic development can be built upon the work already accomplished by Uptown
and Whitewater.
When creating opportunities for economic development in City Village, a
delicate balance must be found. City Village?s history is that of the modest
mill worker. Chase Homes should be redeveloped within this community allowing
for mixed income, mixed use developments and prevent gentrification. Private
investment should be focused on a smaller scale, village style development
pattern which decreases in intensity from the south to the north. Second Avenue
should be regarded as a higher intensity commercial corridor which transitions
on the east side of First Avenue to interact with smaller village style, mixed
use developments along the west side of First Avenue.
The City of Columbus welcomes employment opportunities and should explore all
options for employment opportunities within the City Village neighborhood.
Private investment should also cater to visitors and must provide a quaint,
village shopping and dining experience to tourists and residents alike.
The study will include the anticipation of 180,000 additional visitors to
Whitewater each year as well as the infusion of population due to the
redevelopment of Chase and introduction of mixed income and mixed use housing.
On March 5, 2014, request for proposal invitations were mailed to one hundred
and seventy-two vendors and specifications were posted on the web pages of the
City, Georgia Procurement Registry and DemandStar Onvia. The RFP has been
advertised, opened and evaluated. Proposals were received on April 4, 2014
from the following nine offerors:

Tunnell-Spangler & Associates (Atlanta, GA)

Proposals were reviewed by the Evaluation Committee members, which consisted of
representatives from the Planning Department, Historic Columbus Foundation,
Inc., the Housing Authority, a local marketing firm, a local architect, and a
local real estate developer. A representative of the City Manager?s Office and
the Planning Department served in a non-voting advisory capacity.
The RFP process is governed by the City?s Procurement Ordinance, Articles
3-111, Competitive Sealed Proposals for the procurement of
Architectural/Engineering and Land Surveying Services. During the process of
an RFP there is no formal opening, due to the possibility of negotiated
components of the proposal. In the event Council does not approve the
recommended offeror, no proposal responses or any negotiated components are
made public until after the award of the contract. If Council does not approve
the recommended offeror, negotiations will begin with the next responsive
offeror or the RFP specifications may be re-advertised.
Evaluation results have been submitted to the City Manager in a separate memo
for informational purposes.
Funding is available in the FY15 Budget: 100,000.00 from CDBG and 125,000.00
from UDAG.
