INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Community Services & Safety Committee
FROM: Matthew Austin, Parks Maintenance & Operations Superintendent
BY: David Rosen, Parks & Recreation Analyst
DATE: June 25, 2025
SUBJECT: Contract Approval: Hazelnut Park Climbing Boulder Installation
ISSUE
The City of Tukwila Parks & Recreation Department seeks to execute a contract with Northwest
Playground Equipment Inc. for the procurement and installation of a climbing boulder at Hazelnut Park.
The full project cost of $79,151.70 requires full council approval before the Mayor may sign and
execute the proposed contract.
BACKGROUND
As part of the 2020 Parks, Recreation, and Open Space (PROS) Plan, community outreach was
performed to gather both structured and open response feedback concerning parks, their amenities,
and any other comments or concerns regarding parks, trails, and open space assets. Comments
regarding Hazelnut Park concerned its lack of recreational amenities, the need to provide more youth
recreation and activity options in the park, and a desired expansion of the park in the event of Fire
Station 52’s deactivation. This project is in direct response to these desired improvements.
DISCUSSION
This project will feature the demolition of a small brick seating area just west of the Tukwila Historical
Society building located at 14475 59th Ave S and its replacement with a climbing boulder with an
engineered wood fiber landing area in its place. The resultant area will measure approximately 914 sq.
ft. The climbing boulder itself will be approximately 9.1 feet tall by 7.6 feet wide by 11.6 ft long. The
contractor will provide temporary fencing and installation services while the city is responsible for
permits, fees, related inspection fees, site prep, and confirmation of exact install locations. The
estimated time to completion from an issued notice to proceed is 8 to 12 weeks, putting an estimated
project completion date in the mid-September to mid-October timeframe.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Funding for this project will be provided entirely by the Land Acquisition, Recreation, and Park
Development (301) Fund using Real Estate Excise Tax 1st Quarter Percent funds (REET1). Therefore,
approval of the attached contract does not create any General Fund inflows or outflows.
RECOMMENDATION
City staff recommend the Community Services and Safety Committee forward this contract for approval
by the full Tukwila City Council on the July 21, 2025 Regular Meeting Consent Agenda.

then, in the event of liability for damages arising out of bodily injury to persons or damages to property
caused by or resulting from the concurrent negligence of the Contractor and the Public Entity, its
officers, officials, employees, and volunteers, the Contractor’s liability hereunder shall be only to the
extent of the Contractor’s negligence. It is further specifically and expressly understood that the

negotiated by the parties. The provisions of this section shall survive the expiration or termination of

7. Insurance. The Contractor shall procure and maintain for the duration of the Agreement, insurance
against claims for injuries to persons or damage to property which may arise from or in connection with
the performance of the work hereunder by the Contractor, their agents, representatives, employees or
subcontractors. Contractor’s maintenance of insurance, its scope of coverage and limits as required
herein shall not be construed to limit the liability of the Contractor to the coverage provided by such
insurance, or otherwise limit the City’s recourse to any remedy available at law or in equity.

described below:

$2,000,000 general aggregate and $2,000,000 products-completed operations aggregate

as an additional insured under the Contractor's Commercial General Liability insurance policy
with respect to the work performed for the City using ISO Additional Insured endorsement CG
20 10 10 01 and Additional Insured-Completed Operations endorsement CG 20 37 10 01 or

limits than the minimums shown above, the Public Entity shall be insured for the full available limits
of Commercial General and Excess or Umbrella liability maintained by the Contractor, irrespective
of whether such limits maintained by the Contractor are greater than those required by this Contract
or whether any certificate of insurance furnished to the Public Entity evidences limits of liability
lower than those maintained by the Contractor.
C. Other Insurance Provision. The Contractor’s Automobile Liability and Commercial General
Liability insurance policies are to contain, or be endorsed to contain that they shall be primary
insurance with respect to the City. Any insurance, self-insurance, or insurance pool coverage

Entity is an additional insured on each and every Subcontractor’s Commercial General liability
insurance policy using an endorsement as least as broad as ISO CG 20 10 10 01 for ongoing
operations and CG 20 37 10 01 for completed operations.

work with written notice of any policy cancellation, within two business days of their receipt of such
notice.
H. Failure to Maintain Insurance. Failure on the part of the Contractor to maintain the insurance as
required shall constitute a material breach of contract, upon which the City may, after giving five
business days notice to the Contractor to correct the breach, immediately terminate the contract
or, at its discretion, procure or renew such insurance and pay any and all premiums in connection
therewith, with any sums so expended to be repaid to the City on demand, or at the sole discretion
of the City, offset against funds due the Contractor from the City.

services contemplated by this Agreement without the written consent of the City.
