RE: Approve Professional Services Proposal to Northland Recreation for Playground
Design and Installation for Congress Avenue Tot Lot ($170,000.00)
BACKGROUND
The Common Council allocated $200,000.00 in the 2019 Great Neighborhoods Program to
replace play equipment($175,000) and fencing($25,000) at Congress Avenue Tot Lot which was
installed in 2003. The Parks Department worked with the Congress Avenue Neighborhood
Association to identify types of playground equipment they would like included within the
design at Congress Avenue Tot Lot. The Parks Department and Purchasing included these ideas
and specifications into a Request for Proposal (RFP) and solicited proposals from playground
design firms. The RFP requested firms to provide up to 3 playground designs, to include the
equipment, installation, accessible perimeter walk and poured-in-place rubber surfacing.
ANALYSIS
The RFP was issued for this project on February 19, 2020 and sent to known playground design
firms. Proposals were due March 13, 2020. Proposals were received from 5 firms. Proposals
were reviewed by the Congress Avenue Neighborhood Association. The Association members
selected Option 2- the Spinner option, from Northland Recreation for their product and design.
FISCAL IMPACT
The total fiscal impact of Northland Recreations Option 2 proposal is$170,000.00. The proposal
includes the equipment, installation, accessible perimeter walk and poured in place rubber
surfacing. The remaining$5,000 for the play equipment project will be used for site restoration.
The Common Council allocated$200,000.00 for play equipment and fencing projects in the 2019
Great Neighborhoods Program. Funding for this playground equipment will be from funds
available in three accounts: A/N#: 0323 0740 721606716, A/N#: 0323 0740 721606816 and A/N#:
