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%.
