Director Saarion reviewed the <br /> proposals of three playground distributors used for <br /> the grant application. Director Saarion <br /> recommended the proposal from Earl F. Anderson <br /> because it best fit the regulation of ADA and the <br /> criteria for the grant regarding prevailing wages <br /> for laborers. Also, this particular playground <br /> equipment has not been installed in any of the <br /> other parks and thus provides different components. <br /> Finally, the proposal provides for access for those <br /> with disabilities throughout the entire playground <br /> area rather than just a small area as did the other <br /> proposals. <br /> The Commission reviewed the three distributors <br /> proposals.
