Explanation
This ordinance is to authorize the Director of the Recreation and Parks to modify an existing contract with General Maintenance and Engineering Company (Ord. 1578-2019) for the repair and replacement of the roof at Sullivant Gardens; to authorize an expenditure of $150,000.00 from the Recreation and Parks Voted Bond Fund; and to declare an emergency
Background: Each year the department works to replace roofs that are no longer able to be repaired. This is an ongoing maintenance item to make sure our buildings are kept in good condition and safe from the elements.
Originally, the 2019 Roof Renovation Program included Antrim Park Shelterhouse, Columbus Performing Arts Center, CRPD Maintenance Facility, and siding with insulation at the Sullivant Gardens Community Center. Due to the structural inadequacy for the roof at the Columbus Performing Arts Center to carry loads imposed by construction activities, a decision was made to put this particular roof “on hold” until it can be determined what steps and at what cost is necessary to proceed and replace the roof at the Performing Arts Center.
In the meantime, the roof at Sullivant Gardens Community Center was next to be scheduled in the 2020 program. It was also realized that the flat roof section itself was in need of repair while the metal portion needed to be replaced. The cost to add the roof to Sullivant Gardens is $252,000. After applying a credit for non-performing the roof at Columbus Performing Arts, an additional $150,000 is needed to complete the installation of the roof at Sullivant Gardens.
