Explanation
Background: This ordinance authorizes the Director of the Recreation and Parks Department to enter into contract with Setterlin Building Company for the Frank Fetch Park Improvements Project. The contract amount is $264,105.00, with a contingency of $35,895.00, for a total of $300,000.00 being authorized by this ordinance.
Frank Fetch Park, a neighborhood park in the heart of German Village, was built in 1962. This park was originally constructed in the style of a “Bier Garten” with brick paving and brick walls used as a backdrop for the extensive landscaping. The variety of lush plants and large planters are maintained by the German Village Society Garten Club for all residents in Columbus to enjoy. A wood pergola is the focal point of the park and was originally intended for use as a picnic spot. It has also grown to be used a seasonal structure for summer concerts, reunions, and as a wedding venue. This pergola is in need of replacement prior to it becoming a safety concern for the park users.
This work includes removal and replacement of the wood pergola that is long past its service life. The new pergola will provide a metal roof to offer overhead cover from weather as an upgrade to the open canopy that is currently in place. The work also includes installing conduits for future electrical service to the pergola in a future phase.
