Explanation
Background: This ordinance authorizes the Director of Recreation and Parks to enter into a contract with Stageline Mobile Stage Inc. for towing, inspection, training, repairs and safety upgrades to the SL250 Stage Van owned by the Recreation and Parks Department.
There is an urgent need to have the Columbus Recreation and Parks Department’s SL250 Stage Van inspected and repaired at the manufacturer’s facility near Montreal, Canada. Stageline Mobile Stage Inc. has included estimates for towing the unit by a CDL driver to Canada and back to Columbus, a comprehensive inspection, training of Special Events Section staff, and repairs and safety upgrades as are necessary to comply with the International Building Code including assessment of hydraulic, structural and mechanical components, efficient operation of all systems, aesthetic and degree of wear and tear, and welding points. Manufacturer will provide the City with a written report once all services are completed that includes degree of required action and recommendations as well as 12 month DOT renewal and 24 month structural engineering certificate certified by the McLaren Engineering Group. Due to potential of winter road hazards an emergency is declared to allow the unit to be transported to Canada at the earliest date possible.
The City’s Stage Van has recovered the initial purchase price, and has the potential to generate $10,000.00 - $20,000.00 in annual revenue. It is an asset that saves us $5,000.00 annually on rentals for the City’s Jazz & Rib Fest. Completing required upgrades will ensure that the City provides the safest equipment for use to rental customers and extend the life expectancy of the City’s investment.
