Body
BACKGROUND: At the December 13, 2016 MCRA meeting the Board directed staff to move forward with enhancements to the George Mudd Playground area as part the improvements to David Park. The playground enhancements will include making the play area accessible pursuant to Americans with Disability Act (ADA) standards by replacing the sand area with a poured floor surface, installing new playground equipment and swings.
In order to move forward on the improvements to George Mudd, staff is requesting authorization to piggyback the Clay County contract #13/14-8, utilizing the vendor REP Services, Inc., as a basis for pricing on labor, poured floor safety surfacing and playground equipment at a cost of $280,507.46. By doing so, the new playground area will be completed prior to summer camp operations in June and allow playground operations to remain intact during the other construction phases by separating the area with fencing.
The remainder of the planned improvements to David Park including the installation of a pavilion, exterior restrooms and the addition of a parking lot area, will be part of a formal bid process to be issued at a later date.
RECOMMENDATION: Approve entering into an agreement with REP Services, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $280,507.46, for improvements including labor, installation, poured floor surfacing and playground equipment, piggybacking the Clay County contract #13/14-8.
FISCAL IMPACT: Funding is allocated in 340-0510-512-63-96 David Park/Community Center Improvements in the amount of $550,000.
