Explanation
Background: This ordinance authorizes the Director of the Recreation and Parks Department to enter into contract with National Water Services, LLC for the Raymond Golf Course Pump Replacement - Hole 10 Project. The contract amount is $51,965.00, with a contingency of $5,100.00, for a total of $57,065.00 being authorized by this ordinance.
With approximately 40,000 rounds of golf played annually, Raymond Memorial Golf Course produces the highest number of rounds of all six of the Columbus Recreation and Parks Department’s golf courses.
