SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION:
Summary Recommendation
Authorize a contract for the purchase, delivery and installation of playground equipment for Kennedy Park to GameTime, of Fort Payne, Alabama, utilizing a Cooperative Purchase Agreement for an expenditure of $349,509.78. (Parks-CPA-27-168) (Eric Urfer/Robin R. Wilson)
end
STRATEGIC OUTCOME:
The purchase and installation of new playground equipment at Kennedy Park demonstrates the City’s commitment to being Respected and Responsible, and Active and Appealing by investing in safe, high-quality recreational spaces for the community. Modernizing this playground enhances safety, accessibility, and long-term functionality, ensuring families have a reliable and enjoyable place to gather. By improving park amenities and creating an inviting environment for children and residents, this project supports a more active, vibrant, and welcoming community.
REPORT:
The Parks and Recreation Department completed a system-wide assessment to identify park amenities that have reached the end of their useful life. Kennedy Park was prioritized because its deteriorated amenities present safety concerns, require increased maintenance, and limit functionality. This project will replace playground components that are beyond repair.
This project will improve safety, restore functionality, and reduce long-term maintenance needs. Replacing aging amenities will provide residents with reliable, well-maintained recreational facilities while reducing hazards associated with outdated equipment.
The project includes purchasing, delivering, and installing new playground equipment for children ages five and older. The design is ADA accessible and partially inclusive, with five play zones and more than a dozen ancillary pieces and two shade structures.
Using a Cooperative Purchase Agreement streamlines procurement and reduces overall costs.
The playground equipment is scheduled to be installed by February 2027.
