Concepts, for play equipment, in an amount not to exceed $60,987.
DISCUSSION
The Parks, Recreation and Community Services Agency has been actively
working with the Fisher Park and Floral Park neighborhoods associations,
and the Mothers of Floral Park to improve Fisher Park for the community.
The agency and the neighborhoods completed the first phase of
improvements that included a new set of play ground equipment for
elementary school age youth. Acquisition & Development Fees were
utilized to fund the purchase.
It is now desired to complete phase II of the project that will provide
equipment for older kids. The project will also require additional
contract services and a volunteer effort to install the concrete curbing
around the play area. Neighbors near Fisher Park have volunteered to
assist in this Adopt-A-Park effort. The agency and neighborhood
associations agreed to maintain the log cabin motif of phase I for phase
II. As such, the equipment provided by PlayPower LT Farmington will
match the existing log cabin themed equipment already in the park. No
other manufacturer was able to match the existing log cabin theme and
therefore the purchase is considered as a sole source.
