RE: Approve Professional Services Proposals to Gerber Leisure Products for Playground
Design and Installation for Fugleberg Park ($120,098.00)
BACKGROUND
The Common Council allocated $130,300.00 in the Parks Department 2017 CIP to replace the play
equipment at Fugleberg Park installed in 1999. The Parks Department and Purchasing solicited Request
for Proposals (RFP) from playground design firms. The proposals requested firms to provide up to two
playground designs, the equipment, installation, concrete perimeter walk, and poured in place rubber
surfacing.
ANALYSIS
The RFP was issued for this project on March 22, 2017 and sent to known playground design firms.
Proposals were due April 28, 2017. Proposals were received from five firms. Proposals were then
evaluated by Parks Department staff. Staff recommends Gerber Leisure Products proposal 1.2, given
staff's familiarity of Gerber's Landscape Structures equipment in numerous other Oshkosh parks and
their status as an innovative design leader within the playground equipment industry.
FISCAL IMPACT
The total fiscal impact of Gerber Leisure Products proposal 1.2 is $120,098.00. The proposal includes the
equipment, installation and poured in place rubber surfacing. The Common Council allocated
$130,300.00 for play equipment in the Parks Department 2017 CIP. Funding for this playground
equipment will be from A/N#: 325-0610-7204-07703. The remaining funds will be utilized for site
restoration and purchasing of benches for the site.
RECOMMENDATION
Section 12-16 of the Municipal Code provides that subject to approval of the City Manager, the City may
enter into professional service agreements without following a competitive bidding or quotation process.
In accordance with Section 12-16, Purchasing recommends that the Common Council approval the
proposal submitted by Gerber Leisure Products Inc., PO Box 42, Mount Horeb, WI 53572 for $120,098.00.
