SUBJECT: Cascade View Community Park Play Equipment Purchase Authorization
Steven M. Mullet, Mayor
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the Mayor to execute a purchase order to King
County Directors Association for the acquisition and installation of play equipment and site
amenities for Cascade View Community Park in the amount of $45,608.00.
BACKGROUND:
The City Council selected the play equipment and site amenities for Cascade View Community
Park through a series of neighborhood park design meetings over the last two years. The park
development project was bid late last year with unfavorable results —bid amounts over the
project budget. The park and street improvement project was redesigned to provide a park with
the same amenities and play value while reducing the construction costs. Additionally, the play
equipment and site amenities were taken out of the project because the King County Directors
Association (KCDA) previously publicly bid these items for the 2002 -2003 school year.
DISCUSSION:
The KCDA bids are 2002 prices, a 3% or about $1,400 savings from 2003 current prices. The
KCDA bid proposal includes installation as well. This provides an approximate additional cost
saving of $13,000 from the park bid results last year. KCDA does have a 6% administrative fee
of $2,372 but the above indicated cost savings make this the best alternative for acquiring and
installing the play equipment for Cascade View Community Park. The park play equipment and
site amenities are within the project budget.
There are a few miscellaneous park amenities, which are sole source type items, that will be
purchased for Cascade View Community Park development that were not included in the KCDA
bid process or in the park and street improvement project. These include lettering for the park
name sign, the "rock" play structure and the safety surfacing and will amount to approximately
$22,000.
