Corr FAX e0lty4L1605 Dvector of Pacts & Formosan MEMORANDUM TO: Finance Committee FR: Frank Comeau, Director, Parks&Recreation RE: Hayfords Park Playground Replacement Recommendation DA: June 2'/, 2000 After a great deal of research, we are recommending the selection of M. E. O'Brian's Landscape Structure Option I to replace the Creative Playground at Hayfords Park. This decision is based on a thorough review of each vendor's proposals as well as site inspections and reference checks. M. E. O'Brien provides the most thorough proposal,which include three options to choose from. A representative from M. E. O'Brien also contacted us on several occasions. Mataruno Recreation, which represents Gametime, offered an attractive proposal with a variety of interesting components. However, it appeared the specifications were somewhat generic and not to our specifications in all cases. Pettenilli Associates, who represents Miracle Recreation, offered a limited proposal with expanded decking, punched steel decking was specified. - Another factor in our decision is our past experience with M. E. O'Brien and their equipment, service and reliability. In the past nine years, the city has replaced ten playgrounds in public parks and the School Department has installed new playgrounds at Vine St., Fairmount, Abraham Lincoln and Fourteenth SL Schools. These playgrounds are all manufactured by Landscape Structures, Inc. and have served us extremely well. It is our opinion, based on our experience and research, that Landscape Structures produces a superior product that will last for many years with little or no maintenance. 00-x80 A very important part of the life of any playground equipment is its proper installation, particularly here in the northeast. Each post or rail is precisely cut and must be properly attached in a precise manner. Just one component out of line can create problems with the entire structure. We therefore recommend that M. E. O'Brien be retained to install the equipment for the cost of $9,670. f should also note that if the city decided to install the equipment by volunteers (which may be very difficult to retain at this late stage); it will increase our cost for prep work material and labor by approximately $4,000 to $5,000. The attached pages contain information which assisted us in arriving at this decision. We are confident that Landscape Structures will provide the city with the best quality product.
