PURCHASE OF PLAY EQUIPMENT FOR DEMUTH PARK.
RECOMMENDATION:
That City Council approve the purchase of play equipment for DeMuth Park from Miracle
Recreation Equipment Company at the same volume discount pricing that it has set for the State
of California, according to the state's terms and conditions, per CMAS (California Multiple Award
Schedule) contract#4-99-78-0006A, for a total amount of$68,945,99,
SUMMARY:
Approval of this purchase via the State's CMAS contract pricing with Miracle Recreation Equipment
Company will complete the replacement of all existing play structures in the City parks.
BACKGROUND:
Over the past several years, the Parks Division has been working toward the replacement and
upgrade of all existing play structures in City parks to both modernize them and bring them in to
compliance with current regulatory standards for accessability. The proposed structure at DeMuth
Park is the last of six (6) play structures being upgraded through this multi-year program.
Miracle Recreation Equipment Company provides the most extensive materials warranty in the
business and its equipment is fully compliant with current standards, including ADA. In addition,
due to Miracle's State of California price schedule,it is able to offer substantial discounts to the City
that other equipment manufacturers do not.
The Director of Procurement and Contracting, in accordance with Municipal Code Section 7.09.010
,finds that the competitive process conducted by the State of California for the proposed purchase
is sufficient to protect the public interest and the total cost of the equipment is likely to be less
through the proposed cooperative purchase than could be obtained by conducting an independent
process.
13A
The play equipment replacement program has received a majority of its'funding in recent years
from the annual Measure'Y" allocation to the Parks Division- The annual allocation for the Parks
Division from Measure "Y" funds is intended to be used for capital improvements to the City's
various parks and recreation facilities.
Funds are available in Account Number 261-2494-61517, Park Play Equipment, Measure "Y"
