Title
Consider and take action on a resolution authorizing an agreement with Cunningham Recreation for the purchase of a playground climber unit and fitness station (PK1801N) in an amount not to exceed $78,067.64, with addition of contingency of $7,807.00 for a total budget amount of $85,875.00 (Director of Parks and Cultural Services)
Background:
Approval of this resolution will authorize the purchase of two (2) units, demolition of current unit, and fall surfacing installation at Lynn Gripon Park at Countryside at a current cost of $78,067.64
A contingency of $7,807.00 will be additional to cover any cost that may arise due to price increases to include shipping, fuel, materials, etc.
The playground unit is currently budgeted at $85,000 in the FY2023 CIP under the Reinvestment Program project PK1801 Parks Facility Renewal. Replacement of an aging unit with unreplaceable parts will bring the playground into compliance of the National Safety Playground Standards. Approval of this item would meet the goals set forth in the Strategic Plan for Quality Community Amenities.
To identify the best pricing and cost efficiency, staff reached out to two additional playground vendors. The recommended vendor, Cunningham Recreation, is part of a cooperative purchasing program and the lowest bidder.
