Playground Safety Surfacing Installation
History
The 2020 Parks and Grounds Department budget includes funding for the purchase and installation of Playground Safety Surfacing (i.e. engineered wood fiber). A Certified Playground Safety Inspector (CPSI) from the Parks and Grounds Department inspected all Village playgrounds and compiled a list of playgrounds requiring additional safety surfacing. Accordingly, proposals were requested for the installation of 645 cubic yards of safety surfacing at the following playgrounds:
Doogan Park
Eagle Ridge III Park
Georgetown Park
Laurel Hill Park
Marley Creek Park
Parkview Park
Perminas Park
Treetop Park
Proposals were submitted by Homer Industries LLC and The Fibar Group LLC (via the HGAC Buy co-op). Homer Industries submitted the lowest price. Safety surfacing will be installed using a blower truck to maximize speed and efficiency.
Financial Impact
Funding for the installation of playground safety surfacing was budgeted for in FY2020 and available in Parks & Grounds account 283-4003-443250.
