FROM: Mary K. Lindley, Director of Community Services�/�`�__
DATE: June 8, 1998 (June 17, 1998 City Council Meeting)
SUBJECT: Consider Award of Bid for the Purchase and Installation of Playground
Equipment for Glenwood Park
Background
On April 15, 1998, the City Council appropriated an additional $31,000 from the Park
Improvement Fund for playground equipment improvements at Glenwood Park. The $31,000,
combined with the $15,000 budgeted in the FY 1997/98 budget, brought the total funds available
for the project to $46,000.
Staff prepared bid specifications and distributed a Request for Proposal (RFP). Additionally, a
bid notice was published in the newspaper. The RFP document identified the project as
containing three components: Schedule 1 (base bid), equipment purchase and installation;
Schedule II, removal and disposal of existing equipment; and Schedule III, installation of a wood
fiber surface. By soliciting proposals in this manner, the City has the option of selecting whether
or not to contract for the removal and disposal of the existing play equipment, and /or installation
of the wood fiber surface depending on the cost of the proposals. A total of four contractors
responded by submitting proposals as follows:
Contractor
Ryco Construction
Malibu Pacific Tennis Cts
Dynacon
Pacific Construction
Schedule I Schedule II Schedule III Total
$56,102
$6,600

Dynacon is the low bidder and its bid has been deemed responsive and complete. Staff proposes
that the City enter into a contract with Dynacon for the purchase and installation of the play
equipment only. The City's park maintenance crew will perform the removal of the existing
equipment and the installation of the wood fiber surface.

As the Council may recall, the Parks and Recreation Commission identified a specific equipment
design it was interested in for Glenwood Park. Specifically, the Commission favored play
equipment that resembles a fort. In the RFP, contractors were asked to include the fort theme
play equipment sold by Little Tikes or like equipment sold by another playground equipment firm.
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council award the Glenwood Park playground equipment
contract to Dynacon in the amount of $39,990, and authorize the City Manager to sign the
contract on behalf of the City.
