Executive Summary
Pursuant to the City’s purchasing rules staff is bringing forward the attached quotes for playground equipment from Landscape Structures and playground installation by Flagship Recreation at Palmer Park.
Background
The City Council discussed the Palmer Playground replacement project at the November 7, 2022, Council meeting. Council consensus was to move forward with the Palmer playground replacement project. Council adopted the Parks and Trails Capital Improvement Program (CIP) on December 5, 2022 which appropriated $55,000 for Palmer Park’s playground replacement project.
Utilizing cooperative purchasing contracts, Parks and Recreation staff requested a quote for playground equipment provided by Landscape Adventures and playground installation by Flagship Recreation for Palmer Park. The quoted cost of the playground equipment is $35,411. The quoted cost of the installation is $19,589. Staff recommends accepting the quotes for a total project cost of $55,000. The quote included the following.
• Equipment

• Dumpster
• Removal of old wood fiber
• New wood fiber
• Concrete border
Staff met with Flagship Recreation to develop design concepts for the park. From that meeting, two concepts were identified. Staff presented two options to the Park Board which recommended the attached design.
Staff will use the U.S. Communities Government Alliance (USGA) cooperative purchasing contract to purchase the playground equipment line manufactured by Landscape Structures and supplied by Flagship Recreation, saving the city over $3,000.
