APPROVE AN AGREEMENT WITH ROBERTSON INDUSTRIES TO REPLACE THE PLAYGROUND SURFACING AT PERRY PARK, ANDREWS PARK, AVIATION PARK AND TURTLE PARK FOR A TOTAL COST NOT TO EXCEED $228,885
end
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Approval of this recommendation would approve an agreement for replacement of the playground surfacing at Perry Park, Andrews Park, Aviation Park and Turtle Park. The existing surfacing at these parks has exceeded its expected life and is in poor condition. If approved, Pour In Place rubberized safety surfacing would be installed by Robertson Industries for a cost not to exceed $228,885. Funding for the maintenance work is available in the Capital Projects Fund.
BACKGROUND
The playground surfacing at Perry Park, Andrews Park, Aviation Park and Turtle Park is in poor condition and is visibly deteriorated in multiple areas. In the case of Perry Park, portions of the surface contain sand, which doesn’t meet ADA requirements. Staff obtained a proposal from Robertson Industries of Tempe, Arizona, to perform the following work for a total cost not to exceed $228,885:
- Remove and dispose of existing surfacing
- Install and compact an aggregate sub base
- Provide and install IPEMA certified Pour in Place rubberized safety surfacing
As the surfacing replacements are considered maintenance rather than public works construction, formal competitive bidding is not required by the Municipal Code. The proposed pricing satisfies the City’s competitive purchasing requirements through the vendor and City‘s membership in the Omnia Partners cooperative purchasing program.
COORDINATION
The Public Works Department coordinated this item with the Community Services and Financial Services Departments. The City Attorney’s Office prepared the agreement as to form.
FISCAL IMPACT
The cost to replace playground surfacing at Perry Park, Andrews Park, Aviation Park and Turtle Park will not exceed $228,885. Funding for the maintenance work is available in the Play Surface Replacement Capital Improvement Project account.
