Explanation
Background: This ordinance authorizes the Director of the Recreation and Parks Department to enter into contract with Moody Nolan, Inc. for the design of the redevelopment of Linden Park and Community Center.
The Linden Park redevelopment project started in 2015 working with Blueprint Columbus on the proposed renovation of the park pond in which the Recreation and Parks Department began community meetings to conduct park improvements in conjunction with the pond work. Once Blueprint decided to scale back their participation due to feasibility, Recreation and Parks took a step back and decided to look at the park as a whole to include the Linden Community Center which also needs major renovation. Early 2017, it was decided to move forward with a complete park and facility redevelopment project.
The costs for this project will be $1,979,990.00 with a contingency of $200,000.00 for a total of $2,179,990.00.
