Burgess & Niple says Columbus ordinance authorizes $494,964.53 contract increase for Mound Street floodwall work

Burgess & Niple said in a Nov. 4, 2026 post that Columbus city ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to modify and increase the firm’s professional engineering services contract by up to $494,964.53 for the Mound Street Floodwall and WCLLP Repairs project; the ordinance lists an original engineering agreement of $249,934.26 and a combined contract total of $744,898.79 (Columbus Legistar record).

The ordinance amends the city’s 2024 Capital Improvements Budget and appropriates $494,964.53 from Fund 6224 (Storm - Fresh Water Market Rate Fund) to pay for the contract modification, the Legistar entry shows, and it says funding for the contract will be obtained through the Ohio Water Development Authority (OWDA) Direct Loan Program. The ordinance is contingent on OWDA Board approval of the loan, the record states (Columbus Legistar).
