Explanation
This ordinance authorizes the Director of the Recreation and Parks Department to enter into contract with R.W. Setterlin Building Company for the construction of the new Wyandot Lodge at the McKnight Outdoor Education Center (formally Indian Village).
Background: The new building will be 5,249 square feet and will be located near the entry. This facility will become the main building to serve the Day Camp and Outdoor Education Programming for the center. It will feature a large activity room as well as two small classrooms. Additionally, the main offices for the Outdoor Education staff will be located in the building. One of the most unique aspects of the project is that has been designed as the first Net-Zero Energy building located in the City of Columbus. This means that over the course of a year, the building will generate as much electricity as it consumes. This will be achieved by a combination of energy efficiency design and on-site generation of electricity through the use of photo-voltaic solar panels. The intent of the building is to create a showcase of net-zero energy design that can be visited by the public and serve as an educational tool of how similar improvements can be achieved at their home. The building will be staffed by the CRPD Outdoor Education Staff and will host a wide variety of educational programing including housing the very popular summer day camp.
The costs for this project will be $3,059,400.00 with a contingency of $305,940.00 for a total of $3,365,340.00.
