AGENDA REPORT
FOR
Resolution authorizing the purchase of playground equipment for Del Oro and McDowell
Meadows Parks from Landscape Structures for a total of $27,785.88.
1. EXECUTIVE SUNINIARY:
There is need to replace obsolete and missing playground equipment in several of
Petaluma's parks. The playground replacement project is identified in the C.I.P., and has
an 07-08 allocation of $43,072. Available funding allows replacement of the equipment
in Del Oro Park and McDowell Meadows Parks. Additionally, finding allows for
installation and replacement of existing ground -cover with ADA -compliant fibar. These
two parks have small play areas that include 35 foot diameter circles filled with sand. Del
Oro Park has some rudimentary remainders of an old wooden climbing structure and a
tire swing. Other original features have been removed over the years due to wear. The
play area in McDowell Meadows Park has only sand, as all old equipment was removed
several years ago. The proposed McDowell Meadows structure is designed for pre-school
age use and the new equipment at Del Oro designed for school-age use.
2. BACKGROUND:
In November, 2006 the Parks and Recreation Department identified several parks in need
of playground equipment replacement. The list included McDowell Meadows, Del Oro,
Miwok, Arroyo and Grant Parks. Considering the high cost of play structure equipment,
and the limited finds available, staff has determined it would be most beneficial to the
community that the two smaller parks be equipped at this time, rather than develop one of
the larger, more costly playgrounds. The particular equipment requested is manufactured
by Landscape Structures. The equipment is listed with US Communities, a Government
Purchasing Alliance, providing an across the board 6% discount to municipalities. The
City of Petaluma is registered with US CouunuuitieS, thus bidding is not required.
3. ALTERNATIVES:
a. Authorize the purchase of playground equipment for Del Oro and McDowell
Meadows Parks from Landscape Structures for a total of $27,785.88.
b. Direct staff to replace equipment at a different location.
c. Take no action, thus deferring the project.
4. FINANCIAL IMPACTS:
The funding for Playground Replacements has been allocated to the Capital
Improvements Project Budget, Project C400205. There is currently $43,072 in this
account.
5. CONCLUSION:
- Page 2-
The replacement of playground structures will he a vast improvement in the affected
Parks and will offer children safe and fun places to enjoy themselves out of doors.
6. OUTCOMES OR PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENTS THAT WILL IDENTIFY SUCCESS OR
COMPLETION:
Public satisfaction with the part: improvements.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adoption of the Resolution authorizing the purchase of playground equipment for Del
Oro and McDowell Meadows from Landscape Structures for a total of $27,785.88.
