Description/History
In November 2015, the MPFDC approved $265,000 for existing park improvements in the FY 2015-2016 budget. This approval allocated $131,500 for improvements to Julian Feild Park. These improvements include construction of a new ADA walkway from the parking lot to the playground, a small ADA picnic area, new outdoor furnishings including tables and benches, and new playground equipment with a tower deck system and new swing set with ground surfacing. The new playground will focus on the 2-6 year old age group with environmental interaction and further gross motor skill development including new interactive swings.
This project was advertised publicly for bid and opened January 28, 2016 with eight contractors bidding. Staff reviewed the bids and is recommending to award to the lowest bidder for construction of the site items, site grading and concrete for the ADA improvement and playground area. Playground equipment will be purchased independently through the Buy Board, and poured in place safety surfacing will follow with direct quotes from the manufacturer and installer. The MPFDC voted 3 - 2 to approve the contract at their February 18th meeting.
Justification
To continue to provide quality facilities throughout the park system, the existing park improvements funding provides an ongoing update to the existing parks in the system. The project will update the existing, aging playground to 2016 standards and provide ADA accessibility for the park.
