Explanation
Background: This ordinance authorizes the Director of the Recreation and Parks Department to enter into contract with Builderscape, Inc. for the playground improvements at Glenwood and Windsor Parks. This project is part of the Columbus Blue Jackets Foundation Grant awarded to the Columbus Recreation and Parks Department to help fund the replacement of two playgrounds per year between 2017 and 2020. At Glenwood Park, the project will provide a new playground in the park which currently does not contain a playground. At Windsor Park, the playground will replace outdated existing playground equipment. The Windsor Playground will be installed with the assistance of volunteers from the Columbus Blue Jackets and the local community. Additionally, $50,000.00 in UIRF funding will be used at Windsor Park to provide Adult Outdoor Fitness Equipment adjacent to the new playground.
The costs for this project will be $258,288.00.
