BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The playground equipment at Henry Glaves Park was 24 years old and in need of replacement. Many of its original features were removed because of safety hazards. This project consisted of removing the outdated playground equipment, concrete footings, and engineered wood fiber; assembling and installing a new playground equipment structure; installing new and salvaged engineered wood fiber; installing an Americans with Disabilities -accessible concrete access ramp; providing a required third - party playground inspection, and other incidental and related work. Plans and specifications for this project were approved on February 21, 2018. The contract was awarded on May 2, 2018, to Stratus Construction Company, of Stockton, in the amount of $68,000. The contract completion date was within the original schedule and amount specified in the contract. No additional work was required. Photos of the playground equipment installation are shown in Exhibit A. Following acceptance by the City Council, as required by law, the City Engineer will file a Notice of Completion with the County Recorder's office. The notice serves to notify vendors and subcontractors that the project is complete and begins their 30 -day period to file a stop notice requiring the City to withhold payments from the prime contractor in the event of a payment dispute. 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. FUNDING AVAILABLE: The project was funded by Parks Capital.
