Discussion: <br />Attached is a copy of the overall proposed playground equipment layout and <br />price list quotation provided by Minnesota / Wisconsin Playground. The City of <br />Mounds View has purchased playground equipment from Minnesota / Wisconsin <br />Playground for the last three playground replacement projects; Greenfield, <br />Hillview, and Oakwood. <br />Installation of the playground equipment and associated wood fiber fill has been <br />eliminated from the quote (-$18,941). It is proposed that The City of Spring Lake <br />Park and the City Mounds View work together to install and assemble this <br />project. <br />A breakdown of the proposed Lakeside Lions Park Playground Equipment <br />Replacement Project follows: <br />Lions Club Donations: $50,000 <br />City of Spring Lake $20,000 <br />City of Mounds View: $20,000 <br />Total: $90,000 <br />The City of Spring Lake was recently contacted by Minnesota / Wisconsin <br />Playground and informed that the prices given in the quotation expire on <br />December 1, 2007 and that should they wish to take advantage of this pricing <br />before an annual rate increase, a purchase order would need to be submitted by <br />the expiration date. The City of Spring Lake Park then requested official <br />confirmation from the City of Mounds View for the dedication of funds. <br />As with the existing playground equipment, the proposed replacement equipment <br />will be owned and maintained jointly between the cities of Mounds View and <br />Spring Lake Park. <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff, along with the Mounds View Parks and Recreation Commissioners, <br />recommends that the City Council authorize the expenditure of Park Dedication <br />Funds in the amount not to exceed $20,000 for the Lakeside Lions Park <br />Playground Equipment Replacement Project. <br />Staff also recommends that the City Council authorize the Mounds View Public <br />Works Department to assist the City of Spring Lake Park in the installation and <br />assembly of said playground equipment. <br />Respectfully Submitted, <br />Greg Lee, Director of Public Works <br />
