BACKGROUND The playground at Sunrise Park was installed in 1998 and is need of replacement. The Park Board recommended the Sunrise Park playground equipment be replaced as part of the 2018 Parks and Trails Capital Projects Program. Public Services Department staff will undertake the removals process and perform the necessary site work. The project cost will include design work, playground equipment, concrete border, engineered wood fiber, and installation. Staff is recommending entering into a contract with Northland Recreation, Inc. to provide the design and equipment for the Sunrise Park Playground Project via Sourcewell (formerly NJPA). Sourcewell is a public corporation serving as a municipal contracting agency for government and education agencies. Sourcewell serves member agencies under the legislative authority established and granted by Minnesota Statute 123A.21. This agreement fulfills the competitive solicitation and contract process required of governmental agencies. Staff utilized this process with the successful 2018 Birch Park Playground Project. Also, Northland Recreation, Inc. provided the playground equipment and park shelter at NorthPointe Park. Recommended funding is from the Park and Trail Improvement Fund. RECOMMENDATION Staff is recommending approval of Resolution No. 19-13.
