At the Council Meeting held on February 5, 2019, Councilman Carlos Alvarez made a motion to move $75,000 from the FY 18-19 Carry-forwardBudget amendment to fund the resurfacing of the playground at Picnic Park West which was approved via Ordinance 2019-237. Furthermore, as part of the Manager's Report at the following Council Meeting held on March 12, 2019, town staff provided an update on this project and shared that estimates for surfacing were lower than anticipated and presented the possibility of adding additional elements including a shade structure for the swing set, an additional universal ADA accessible and standard expression swing set with the bay.

In accordance with Section 7 of the Procurement Ordinance, the Town is recommending to “piggyback” NJPA Contract #030117-LTS awarded to Play Powerfor both the purchase/installation of Shade Structure and Swing Bay and City of Miami Contract #783382-24 awarded to Robertson Industries for the purchase and installation of Playground Safety Surface. Town Staff conducted market analysis and determined that the pricing under these contracts is the most advantageous procurement method available to the Town.

The total cost of this project with all elements listed above is $85,966.66. Funds will be transferred from the Picnic Park West General Fund budget to cover the overage ($10,966).
