07-000001.
BACKGROUND:
The City Council approved the purchase of two residential lots in the Bellaire subdivision
on November 5, 2005. The City Council also approved a concept plan of the park and a
resolution naming the park at the February 7, 2006 meeting. A copy of the concept
plan is attached for review. Also, staff presented the cost estimate to develop the park
at the June 6, 2006 Council Workshop on Capital Projects. Staff estimates that the cost
to develop the park will be approximately $130,000.
If approved by the City Council, staff will begin construction on the park within two weeks
and will target the opening of the park some time this summer. Maintenance staff will do
all the construction at the park with the exception of the concrete work and the
installation of the park light.
This purchase will be made in accordance with an existing interlocal agreement with the
Local Government Purchasing Cooperative (Buyboard.com) as allowed by the Texas
Local Government Code, Section 271.102. Bids were taken by the cooperative and a
contract was awarded to The Playwell Group under contract number 204-04. The
interlocal agreement and cooperative purchasing agreement satisfies all bidding
requirements under the Local Government Code.
Staff recommends approval of a contract to The Playwell Group for the playground
equipment, surfacing and picnic shelter in an amount not to exceed $51,036.51.
