DISCUSSION:
The Parks and Landscape Maintenance Division of the Public Works Department maintains numerous playgrounds throughout the City. The playgrounds include surfaces or materials to ensure safe play on structures and amenities. A number of these surfaces are rubberized pads (as compared to Engineered Wood Fiber, aka “chips”) that need replacement or updating due to age and/or vandalism.
A request for bids was placed on the City’s Bids online system for playground resurfacing at Burg Park, La Moine Park, Nevin Park, and Huntington Park. Two proposals were received. The proposals were as follows:
1. SpectraTurf (Corona, CA) $269,519.00
2. Robertson Recreational Surfaces (Tempe, AZ) $290,929.60
City staff recommends approval of a contract with SpectraTurf as the lowest bidder.
NEXT STEPS:
City staff will issue a Notice to Proceed to the contractor. It is anticipated that construction will commence on or about October 11, 2022, and be completed within two to four weeks.
