Explanation

BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Development Director to enter into a contract with the Ransom Company for the demolition of the Devonshire Pool located at 6245 Sunderland Drive and authorizes the Director of Recreation and Parks to take action to accept title of the property. Informal bids were solicited from the following:

Ransom Company $ 24,450
T & D Demolition $ 24,900
Colvin Gravel $105,223

The demolition of the Devonshire Pool will remove a potentially dangerous facility that creates an attractive nuisance that may lead to injuries or more serious consequences for neighborhood children. The deed to the Devonshire Civic Swim Club provided that in the event that the premises are no longer operated as a non-profit operation for the general benefit of residents in the area, title to the premises shall vest in the City of Columbus. Before title to the premises can vest in the City, it is necessary for City Council to authorize acceptance of the contingent remainder and to authorize the filing of such documents with the Franklin County Recorder.

It is necessary to waive competitive bidding requirements due to time constraints. Emergency action is requested so that the demolition of this potentially dangerous facility will not be delayed.

FISCAL IMPACT: Funds are available within the General Fund for this purpose.
