Explanation
Background: This ordinance authorizes the Director of the Recreation and Parks Department to modify the existing contracts with CK Construction Group, Inc. ("CK Construction Group") for the Kilbourne Run Sports Park Improvements Project. The modification amount being authorized by this ordinance is $5,730,912.00 for the CK Construction Group contract.
Kilbourne Run Sports Park, located at 4625 Westerville Road, is a soccer specific facility that stretches over 62 acres with 35 of those acres dedicated to athletic space. The park currently contains 16 fields of various sizes, gravel parking lots, an existing shelter, a two story vacant commercial building, as well as, a building used for concessions and storage. Recreation and Parks is updating Kilbourne Run Sports Park to include prime fields and facilities that will increase access to soccer and other field sports for the Columbus Community. This will position Columbus as a destination for regional tournaments. The Recreation and Parks Department previously entered into contract with DLZ Ohio to complete design services and to aid the Department in project delivery. Design will continue through spring of 2024. The work on site is scheduled to begin in spring 2024 and it is the intent that the improved Kilbourne Run Sports Park will open in the spring of 2025.

This is one of three planned modifications for the project's guaranteed maximum price. This modification will cover costs for site clearing and demolition. It will also cover procurement of long lead time items such as HVAC equipment, a traffic signal, and electrical equipment.
