COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA ITEM C/-6
AGENDA TITLE: Approve Plans and Specifications and Authorize Advertisement for Bids for
Playground Surfacing Improvements
MEETING DATE: December 20, 2017
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve plans and specifications and authorize advertisement for
bids for Playground Surfacing Improvements.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: This project includes removing and replacing damaged portions of
rubberized, poured -in-place playground surfacing material and
sealing the entire playground surface with a new top coat, at four
park locations.
The rubberized playground surfacing at Century Meadows Park, Lawrence Park, Peterson Park (West
Playground) and Emerson Park was installed between 2002 and 2006. The damage (Exhibit A) resulting
from vandalism and normal wear and tear over the last 11 to 15 years, is substantial, requiring the need
for repair.
The improvements include removing and replacing a two -foot wide strip of poured -in-place surfacing
material around the playground perimeters; removing and replacing areas of damaged poured -in-place
surfacing; applying a top coat of urethane sealer over the entire poured -in-place surface areas at the
completion of all repair work; and other incidental and related work, all as shown on the plans and
specifications for the project.
The new poured in place surface must comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act and Consumer
Product Safety Commission guidelines, American Society for Testing and Materials standards, and
certification from a State -required, third -party testing organization for playground surfaces and
equipment.
The plans and specifications are on file in the Public Works Department. The planned bid opening date
is January 17, 2018. The project estimate for four park locations is $67,000.00.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The project will have a minimal impact on annual maintenance costs, and
will reduce the City's exposure to claims related to the condition of
playground surfaces. This project will not impact the General Fund.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Parks Capital (432).
