Pacific Design 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. 23H-1 Contract Award for PlayPower LT Farmington January 5, 2009 Page 2 FISCAL IMPACT Funds for are available in the Parks Acquisition and Development Fund Account (account no. 312-232-6631) in the amount of $60,987.
