AGENDA TITLE: Approve Plans and Specifications and Authorize Advertisement for Bids for
Henry Glaves Playground Improvements
MEETING DATE: February 21, 2018
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve plans and specifications and authorize advertisement for
bids for Henry Glaves Playground Improvements.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: This project includes replacing playground surfacing material,
removing existing playground equipment, installing new City -
supplied playground equipment, and installing an Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA) -accessible concrete ramp.
The playground equipment at Henry Glaves Park is approximately 24 years old and in need of
replacement. Many of its original features have been removed because of safety hazards. The City
Council approved using available Parks Capital funds for this project on June 21, 2017 and authorized
purchase of playground equipment for Henry Glaves Park on January 17, 2018.
The work consists of removing the existing playground equipment, concrete footings, non -woven fabric,
and engineered wood fiber; salvaging approximately 100 yards of existing engineered wood fiber safety
surfacing; assembling and installing a new playground equipment structure provided by the City of Lodi;
installing new non -woven fabric, new and salvaged engineered wood fiber, and an ADA -accessible
concrete access ramp; and providing a third -party playground inspection, and other incidental and related
work, all as shown on the plans and specifications for the project.
The new playground must comply with ADA 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 March 14, 2018. The project estimate is $78,000.00.
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 (43299000.77020).
