The expansion of The Vineyards Campground included the need to purchase 25 new
picnic tables and fire rings that staff will install. In addition, there is a need for seven lantern
hangers for the new cabins. Tent camping sites will be removed from The Vineyards and
tent campers will be encouraged to use Meadowmere Park. In anticipation of an increase
in tent campers, 10 additional picnic tables are being planned for Meadowmere Park.
Rockledge Park continues to be a huge draw for day use visitors.With only 35 picnic tables
currently at Rockledge Park there is a need for more tables for visitors. An additional 15
tables are scheduled to be installed there. Funding for those tables at The Vineyards is
from the 2009 CO Bond and the tables for Rockledge and Meadowmere are from the 119
operating fund.
Staff recommends approval to award a purchase order to The PlayWell Group for picnic
tables, fire rings and lantern holders in a total amount not to exceed $29,532.44.
