Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to enter into a contract on behalf of the Office of Construction Management with Gutknecht Construction Company for construction of the Police Boathouse at 2929 Riverside Drive.
This legislation authorizes a contract for the design and construction of a new boathouse for the Division of Police, Marine Park Unit. The construction of a new boathouse is needed at 2929 Riverside Drive located near Griggs Reservoir. The boathouse is used for storage of two Police boats and small associated equipment. These boats are used to patrol the Scioto River from Griggs Reservoir to State Route 161. The existing boathouse was constructed approximately 26 years ago and is open on the water side which makes it unsecured and easily accessible to the public. During winter months, existing boathouse is towed to a nearby alcove for storage which has added to the wear of the structure and does not allow for the Marine Park Unit to patrol during this time. The new boathouse will provide closed secured storage for two boats and some associated equipment and will be permanently moored at the existing site near Griggs Reservoir. This will also allow for use of the Police boats year round as weather permits.
Formal bids were solicited and the City received one bid on November 16, 2016 as follows (0 FBE, 0 MBE):
