Explanation
Background: This ordinance authorizes the Director of the Recreation and Parks Department to enter into contract with Tyevco Inc. for the Cultural Arts Center Parking Lot and Site Improvements Project. The contract amount is $43,540.00, with a contingency of $6,460.00, for a total of $50,000.00 being authorized for this contract by this ordinance.
The Cultural Arts Center (CAC) Parking Lot is mainly used for Columbus Recreation and Parks Department staff and program participants. This facility and lot also hosts guests during special events, including festivals, weddings, and other special engagements. The Cultural Arts Center Parking Lot is constructed of brick pavers, including both historical pavers and new replacement pavers. Over time, areas of the brick paver lot have warped from the force applied from vehicles making turns, causing bricks to pop out and expose the subgrade of the parking lot. The damaged parking lot poses significant safety issues and trip hazards, increasing the chance for pedestrians to fall and/or twist ankles. Leaving the damaged lot as is will also accelerate further damage and increasing safety hazards. The parking lot was repaired within the last five years but the repair was insufficient in addressing the problem causing the brick pavers to warp out of place. This contract will construct a long term and resilient solution for the brick paver parking lot. The historical brick pavers will be preserved and the warped brick paver lot will be repaired using a more heavy-duty detail. Additionally, a concrete pad and 4 bike racks will be installed as part of these improvements. Construction is scheduled to occur from May 16, 2022 through May 29, 2022 in order to not impact any scheduled events.
