Staff is seeking full Council approval to award a contract to Northwest Playground Equipment, Inc. in
the amount of $169,616.29 for new play equipment at Fort Dent Park. Award of the contract prior to

equipment is complete. The new equipment will be installed in a different location within the Park than
the existing equipment.
