Title
Authorizing the expenditure of an amount not to exceed $37,500 from the General Fund for resetting pavers, replacing the rotted decking and repairing deteriorated handrails at Boeschenstein Park boardwalk; authorizing the Mayor to accept bids and award contracts for said purpose; and declaring an emergency.
Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
This Ordinance authorizes expending up to $37,500 for replacing rotted decking, resetting sunken pavers, and repairing deteriorated handrails on the boardwalk at Boeschenstein Park. An evaluation of the boardwalk showed the super-structure to be in good condition. It was also determinized that some of the decking material and handrails needed repair and/or replacement.
In addition, some of the walkway pavers have sunken and need to be reset in order to maintain consistent accessibility. This project will also ensure continued accessibility to the Swan Creek overlook for all residents. Funds for this project were allocated in the approved 2024 General Fund budget.
Summary
NOW, THEREFORE, Be it ordained by the Council of the City of Toledo:
SECTION 1. The expenditure of an amount not to exceed $37,500 is authorized from the General Fund Account Code 1001-40100-7000301STDSTD for resetting pavers, replacing the rotted decking and repairing deteriorated handrails at Boeschenstein Park boardwalk.
