COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE: Authorization to Advertise for a Request for Proposal for Playground Equipment
at Henry Glaves Park
MEETING DATE: March 16, 1994
PREPARED BY: Parks and Recreation Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Authorize advertisement for a request for proposal' for playground
equipment at Henry Glaves Park.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The City Council has akithorized $20,000.00 to replace play
equipment for Glaves Park. We have spent a considerable
amount of time trying to develop specifications that would not
preclude any given manufacturer from bidding on a new play
equipment system. This has proven a very difficult task indeed since every playground manufacturer
has designed it's specifications to preclude other companies from bidding.
We have therefore developed a list of play apparatus that we would like incorporated in a play system.
We are requesting Council to advertise a request for proposal that will allow all manufactures to come
forward with competing play systems. We propose to review these systems and recommend the best
system and price to the Parks and Recreation Commission. After review, a selection will be forwarded
to Council for review and approval. We ask Council to allow us to move forward with this plan of
action.
Please see attached proposal.
Funding: $20,000 previously authorized by Counc%. '
