This procurement will be made under the Inter -local Cooperation Act, Chapter 791,

purchase will be made under contract number 124-01 and through the Cooperative's e-
commerce Internet Web site at www.buyboard.com.
The recommended playground equipment is manufactured by Gametime and will be
purchased through their local representative, Southwest Parks and Playground, Inc.
The equipment will include a play structure with multiple activities and a swing set with
two bays and four swings. The new play structures and swings will be for Pecan Park
and Hazy Meadows Park (map attached). The current play equipment at Pecan Park
was installed in 1986 and Hazy Meadows was installed in 1987. These parks do not
meet the current playground safety standards and are not handicap accessible. After
the new play structures are installed they will meet current standards and will be
handicap accessible.
