Playground Renovations - Purchase and Installation
History
The FY2020 Parks and Grounds Department budget includes funding for playground renovations. Based on data outlined in the 2019 Orland Park Playground Assessment, seven (7) playgrounds (Bill Young, Cameno Real, Discovery, Pulte, Village Square, Wedgewood Estates and Spring Creek) were selected for selected renovation. These playgrounds were selected based on below average overall assessment scores and geographical location. A map of the location of these parks is attached as an exhibit.
A co-op proposal from Landscape Structures Inc. for the renovation of the aforementioned playgrounds is attached for review. The proposal, which provides an overview of the cost of improvements as well as a 3D rendering of each site, was facilitated by Landscape Structures’ local vendor, NuToys Leisure Products. The scope of the proposal includes: new playground equipment, professional playground installation, safety surfacing (mulch) removal and replacement, edge restraint (boarder) removal and replacement and the installation of ADA accessible access ramps per Village specifications. The proposal includes an 8% discount on playground equipment based on the co-op pricing offered via HGAC Buy Co-Op Contract PR11-18. The co-op discount is typically 6%, but because of the volume of equipment purchased the Village will receive a better discount. The proposed site work is based on Prevailing Wage rates.
For comparison purposes, the most recent complete renovation of a single Village playground (Brentwood Park) cost a total of ?$?284,467.6?0. The proposed selected renovation of seven (7) playgrounds, while not as comprehensive in scope as Brentwood Park, would provide contemporary features to aging playgrounds, bring each playground into compliance with current ADA requirements and enhance the aesthetics, safety and overall condition of each site for $?397,455.45?.??????????
