Title
Brentwood Park Playground Equipment Purchase
History
The redesign of Brentwood Park was board approved for FY2018. The Parks & Grounds Department conducted a neighborhood meeting on site for the area residents. Renderings of playground equipment designs and manufacturers were available for the residents to review. Through a suggestion/ballot process, the rendering depicting Little Tikes playground equipment was selected. Little Tikes equipment is represented by a regional provider Parkreation Inc, of Prospect Heights, IL. They are the sole source provider in our area. We have utilized Parkreation many times and they provide a quality product and have been very responsive to any issues or inquiries we have made in the past. Staff is requesting to waive the bid process and purchase the equipment directly from the vendor in an effort to have the installation process go more smoothly. Attached is the layout and listing of all pieces of equipment. Cost for the equipment is $65,875.34 (NJPA co-op discount is reflected in this price) and $12,925.00 for the pavilion structure for a total of $78,800.34. Several additional site amenities are as follows:
The purchase of an octagonal gaga ball pit system from Coach Cliff’s Gaga Ball Pits LLC for a cost of $3,665.20
And
The purchase of (3) three benches, (3) three picnic tables and two complete basketball set-ups (poles, backboard, rim and nets) from NuToys Leisure products at a cost of $11,120.00
This agenda item is being considered by the Parks & Recreation Committee and the Village Board of Trustees on the same night.
Financial Impact
Funds for the project are budgeted for FY2018 and available in the Parks & Grounds accounts
