BACKGROUND <br /> The City evaluates the state of the playground equipment annually using certified <br /> playground safety inspectors (CPSI)who are on City staff. The CPSIs review the physical <br /> condition and age of the equipment along with safety and accessibility concerns. Based <br /> on the 2016/17 fiscal year evaluation and the available budget, it was determined that <br /> there were three playgrounds that should be replaced — the Harvest Park playground for <br /> 5 through 12 years-olds, the Mission Hills park playground for 5 through 12 year-olds, <br /> and the Oakhill Park playground for 2 through 5 year-olds. <br /> The Landscape Architect Division worked with the Parks Division and Community <br /> Services Department on a.Request for Qualifications (RFQ). The RFQ was advertised on <br /> March 21, 2017. <br /> DISCUSSION <br /> The City received proposals on April 12, 2017 from the following three firms: <br /> 1. Ross Recreation Equipment Company, Inc. <br /> 2. Miracle Playsystems <br /> 3. Specified Play Equipment Company <br /> Upon review of the proposals, City staff selected Ross Recreation for the design and <br /> construction of the Harvest Park playground and Miracle Playsystems for the design and <br /> construction of the Mission Hills and Oakhill Park playgrounds. <br /> The City held public meetings at each playground on Saturday April 29, 2017. <br /> Notifications were sent to all residents within 300 feet of the park on April 18. The public <br /> input and designs were presented to the Parks and Recreation Commission meeting on <br /> May 25, 2017. Notifications for the meeting were sent to all residents within 1,000 feet of <br /> the park. Based on the public input, the Parks and Recreation Commission provided a <br /> recommendation to proceed with the designs as proposed with some minor revisions. <br /> Those revisions have been included in the playground design and the purchase orders. <br /> Construction is expected to begin Summer 2017 and be completed by October of this <br /> year. <br /> Submitted by: Reviewed by: Approved by: <br /> / <br /> / kifj( <br /> Stephen it patrick Tina Olson Nelson Fialho <br /> Director o Engineering Director of Finance City Manager <br /> Attachments: <br /> 1.
