Explanation
Background: This ordinance authorizes the Director of the Recreation and Parks Department to enter into contract with 2K General Company for the restoration of columns at Goodale and Schiller Parks.
The Friends of Goodale have worked with Recreation & Parks on restoration of various entry gates in Goodale Park. To date, the south and northwest entries have been restored. The east entry/columns at Goodale Park are over 100 years and are in need of restoration.
In 2012, the Department at the request of the German Village Society, worked with a Contractor to evaluate the 4 sets of columns located at Schiller Park. The columns, dating back to early 1900’s, have been in need of restoration for several years, but due to a lack of funding have not been able to proceed with the restoration.
Goodale and Schiller are two of the oldest parks in the City system.
The costs for this project will be $399,350.00 with a contingency of $39,000.00 for a total of $438,350.00.
