RECOMMENDED ACTION
Award a contract for the purchase of playground equipment under the Healthy
Kids Grant Program to Game Time in the amount of $151,292.05 for various
parks.
DISCUSSION
The Parks, Recreation and Corrnnunity Services Agency submitted an
application, under the Healthy Kids Grant Program for the purchase of play
equipment for city playgrounds. On November 10, 2005 the City was notified
that we were awarded a grant in the amount of $112,000. This grant requires
a 45% match for the purchase of playground equipment offer by Game Time.
The total value of the play equipment is $263,292.05. This action will
purchase six major play equipment for four park sites (Windsor, Centennial,
Sandpointe and Thornton Parks). Similar to the KaBoom Program, the
installation of the play equipment will require additional contract
services and/or volunteer effort to install. The purchase of play equipment
under this program significantly reduces the cost of the equipment.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds for this grant are available in the Parks Acquisition and Development
Fund Account (account no. 301-232-6631) in the amount of $151,292.05.
