They w8re from Big Toy (BTU, Iron Mountain Forge (IMF), Landscape Structures (LS) and Miracle (M}. After we all had perused them, we set up a table to numerically rate the play equipment. The categories were; handicapped accessibility, materials, warranty, maintenance, number of play elements, aesthetics, servicability, appropriate play activities for the ages indicated, whether the vendor put in the play structure or whether the vendor subcontracted with a second firm and uniformity between other play structures in I"alcon Heights. Categories were graded by group consensus, from 1 to 10, with 10 being best. IMF M BT LS materials steel steel woad, steel aluminum 5 5 ~ 7 10 warranty i yr 1 yr ~ yr 5 yr handicapped 3 1 0 ~ 10 accessibility # play elements 13 13 16 (including 14 existing slide) vendor/subcon subcon subcon subcon vendor 1 1 1 2 uniformity 1 9 1 2 aesthetics 7 2 ~ $ Totals AD HOC PARKS AND RECREATION CC)MMlSSION MEETING 31 24 23 51 The commission had several questions. Carol K said she would contract the vendors about them. First, on the question of serviceability, if something breaks ar needs replacing, who will actually fix it, the vendor or the city? Also, is the resilient surfacing on the Landscape Structure plan part of the bid? Carol K thought it was, but wilt check on it. The only truly handicapped accessible playground structure was the one from Landscape Structures. We were upset that Big Toy chose to ignore this issue, stating that this was not manditory by law yet. We would prefer a vendor thinking toward the future, rather than the past.
