1. BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into a construction contract with S.G. Loewendick & Sons in the amount of $137,720.00; for the Watershed Misc. Imp’s - Misc. Facility Demolition Part 1 Project, Division of Water Contract Number 2111.
The Division of Water owns property with existing structures that are in poor repair and of no use to the Division.

The locations include: 4751 S.R 257, Radnor, Ohio; 7145 S.R 257, Prospect, Ohio; 4900 and 5576 Red Bank Road, Galena, Ohio.
The areas of demolition are not inside the Columbus Community Planning Areas.
2. ECONOMIC IMPACT/ADVANTAGES; COMMUNITY OUTREACH; PROJECT DEVELOPMENT; ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS/ADVANTAGES OF PROJECT: Two of the structures to be demolished are located on property that was purchased as protected buffer area surrounding the Hoover Reservoir and the other two are on property that was purchased for the Upground Reservoir project. All of these properties are managed by the Division of Water for support of the water supply for the City’s water treatment plants. An adequate and safe supply of drinking water is an economic driver to the Columbus community. These existing structures are in poor repair and not of use to the Division of Water. No community outreach was sought in the decision to demolish the unoccupied residential structures on City property. The demolition will be performed in accordance with all environmental regulations, including hazardous material removal (asbestos) and Stormwater pollution projection.
