Explanation

BACKGROUND: This ordinance authorizes the Finance and Management Director to enter into a contract on behalf of the Office of Construction Management with Thomas & Marker Construction Company for the construction of a new impound lot, administration building, and forensic processing and storage building for the Columbus Division of Police and the Parking Violations Bureau to be located at 2700 Impound Lot Road.

The current impound facility is located on the Whittier Peninsula, is over 23 years old, inadequately sized, has a number of building deficiencies, and is not particularly customer friendly. As well, The Columbus and Franklin County Metropolitan Park District has been developing a metro park and the nature center in conjunction with Audubon Ohio on a nearby portion of the Whittier Peninsula. To operate a more efficient and customer friendly facility as well as to allow redevelopment of the Whittier Peninsula necessitates that the City operations of the Parking Violations Bureau and the Police Division impound lot be relocated to a new site. A new facility enables the City to operate a more efficient and customer friendly operation on a site specifically purchased and developed for these purposes.

Under this contract a 16,858 square foot administration building and a 7,800 square foot forensic processing and storage building will be constructed and operated by the Division of Police and the Parking Violations Bureau. In addition, a new impound lot will be constructed with the capacity to secure up to 3,600 cars. These buildings will be LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Certified in compliance with the Mayor's Get Green Columbus initiative. Attached to this ordinance is a Fact Sheet.

Thomas & Marker Construction Company $4,633,700.00
