Explanation
Background: This ordinance authorizes the Director of the Recreation and Parks Department to enter into contract with Abbot Studios for the development of a Downtown Maintenance Facility. The design work would include a new facility that will house the equipment and staff for five different crews. The building would have offices, equipment parking bays, dry equipment storage, and staff facilities. These crews will not only service the downtown parks and facilities, but will also include the Playground Crew, Landscape Crew and Irrigation Crew.
Over the last decade downtown Columbus has developed to become a destination spot for both visitors and residents of central Ohio. With all the improvements there has been an added need for additional maintenance of expanded parks along the riverfront as well as the current work load that exists. This new facility will allow for improved maintenance and a quicker response time. This facility will also help bring several maintenance zones together in a more centralized area which will help cut costs and improve the overall maintenance of our park system.
The costs for this project will be $536,300.00 with a contingency of $40,000.00 for a total of $576,300.00.
