There was an error in figuring equipment installation costs by Miracle Playground Equipment Co. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Please first of all refer to Council Com- munication of July 5, 1989, for details on original request, together with playground layout and Miracle quote sheet. When Miracle sales representative, Dale Green, gave me the quote on the playground equipment, he accidentally quoted a figure for one (1) Swing Set each of Strap Seat and Tot Seat types and it should have been for two (2) each. This would additionally add $500.00 to our installation fee, which would add the amount of $2,329.56 to the original quote of $26,415.92, for a final total of $28,745.48 for said equipment and installation. As is stated on the original Council Communication, the funding for this project is under a Community Development Block Grant approved by City Council in 1988 and would be fully covered with the addition of the $2,329.56 figure. My apologies for this error and the fact it has had to be reviewed by you twice. Your approval of these funds will speedily allow us to purchase and install said equipment *n a timely manner. 1 � v Ron Williamson, Director Parks and Recreation Dept. RW: j d At tach.
