Pacific Design <br />Concepts, for play equipment, in an amount not to exceed $60,987. <br />DISCUSSION <br />The Parks, Recreation and Community Services Agency has been actively <br />working with the Fisher Park and Floral Park neighborhoods associations, <br />and the Mothers of Floral Park to improve Fisher Park for the community. <br />The agency and the neighborhoods completed the first phase of <br />improvements that included a new set of play ground equipment for <br />elementary school age youth. Acquisition & Development Fees were <br />utilized to fund the purchase. <br />It is now desired to complete phase II of the project that will provide <br />equipment for older kids. The project will also require additional <br />contract services and a volunteer effort to install the concrete curbing <br />around the play area. Neighbors near Fisher Park have volunteered to <br />assist in this Adopt-A-Park effort. The agency and neighborhood <br />associations agreed to maintain the log cabin motif of phase I for phase <br />II. As such, the equipment provided by PlayPower LT Farmington will <br />match the existing log cabin themed equipment already in the park. No <br />other manufacturer was able to match the existing log cabin theme and <br />therefore the purchase is considered as a sole source. <br />23H-1 <br />
