AGENDA ITEM NO. 6B <br />STAFF ORIGINATOR: Rick DeGardner, Public Services Director <br />DATE: August 16, 1999 <br />TOPIC: Consideration of Receiving Bids and Awarding Playground <br />Equipment, Behm's Century Farm Park <br />Vote Required: Simple Majority <br />BACKGROUND; <br />On Tuesday, July 29, 1999, bids were opened for the Behm's Century Farm Park playground <br />equipment project. Three companies submitted proposals. The playground equipment proposals <br />were on display at City Hall the week of August 2'. Neighborhood residents and Park Board <br />Members were invited to review the proposals, make comments, and provide input on the <br />selection of the project. <br />It is my opinion that Flanagan Sales, Inc. offers the City of Lino Lakes the best package of <br />playground equipment for Behm's Century Farm Park. Play equipment evaluations are based on <br />a number of factors including equipment quality, safety considerations, aesthetic appeal, the play <br />experience provided, and installation experience. <br />Staff met with interested residents on August 9th to make final decisions such as color selection. <br />It is anticipated to install the playground equipment in October with area residents, a certified <br />playground installer, and park maintenance staff. <br />OPTIONS <br />1. Receive bids and award Behm's Century Farm Park Playground Equipment Project to <br />Flanagan Sales, Inc. in the amount of 528,000. <br />2. Return to staff for further review. <br />RECOMMENDATION; <br />Option 1 <br />8/16/99 <br />RD/Correspondence/Council/green sheet Behms Playground Equipment <br />
