This particular contract focuses on the improvement of asphalt and concrete surfaces that are highly used by the public and include entry drives, parking lots, paths, sidewalks, and ramps. Making improvements to these surfaces ensures safe and easy access to the parks and facilities. Areas for improvement were initially considered through recommendations from within the Department and public input. All requests were assessed through a Pavement Condition Rating (PCR) form and were given a rating from 0 (worst condition) to 100 (best condition). All requests were prioritized for action based on their respective PCR scores. From there, staff confirmed which projects will move forward.
This project provides improvements at locations throughout the City of Columbus, including Portman Park, Walnut Hill Park, Lincoln Park, Brentnell Park, Whetstone Park, Lazelle Woods Park, Schiller Park, Spindler Dog Park, and Franks Park.
