RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council award contract to Micon Construction Inc., in the
amount of $99,756.00 for Bid Schedule A only, for the Demuth Park Playground
Renovation, City Project 02-15.
SUMMARY:
Award of this contract will allow for installation of previously purchased playground
equipment and construction of new rubber playground surfacing at Demuth Park.
BACKGROUND:
In previous fiscal years, the City has budgeted for playground equipment replacement at
several locations and appropriated funds to facilitate the systematic replacement of play
structures in parks throughout the City. Of top priority was replacement of equipment
that was least compliant with playground safety standards.
In previous years, the City has successfully replaced park playground equipment at Ruth
Hardy Park, Sunrise Park, Victoria Park, and Baristo Park funded through "Utility Users
Tax - Measure Y" funds. This latest playground equipment replacement project will
continue replacement of playground equipment within DeMuth Park. Previously, the City
Council authorized purchase of the playground equipment for this project from Miracle
Recreation Equipment at its May 21, 2003, meeting.
The plans and specifications for this project were prepared by Engineering Division staff,
and will accomplish installation of the purchased playground equipment from Miracle
Recreation Equipment, installation of rubberized playground surfacing and associated
improvements. The project consists of two Bid Schedules: Bid Schedule A includes
installation of the new play equipment and rubberized playground surfacing at two
locations within DeMuth Park, and Additive Bid Schedule B includes removal of the
existing play sand and installation of new clean sand.
The City Council approved the plans and specifications, and authorized construction
bidding at its June 18, 2003, meeting. On June 24 and July 1, 2003, the project was
advertised for bids, and at 2:00 P.M. on July 15, 2003, the Department of Procurement
and Contracting received bids from the following contractors-
