Report
Summary
These agreements were originally established for the Parks and Recreation Department to support efforts to repair and replace playground and outdoor fitness equipment and components, as existing equipment nears the end of its lifecycle. However, as a result of a grant awarded to the Neighborhood Services Department (NSD), the Parks and Recreation Department, in partnership with NSD, will use these contracts as well as the grant funds to replace 16 playground structures throughout the City. The current value of the contracts is not sufficient to cover the cost of the project; therefore, a request is being made to increase their value.
The replacement of playground structures will enhance and support the quality of recreational programs and services that are provided to the residents of Phoenix.
Contract Term
The original contract term is May 1, 2018 through April 30, 2023.
Financial Impact
Upon approval of increasing the contracts value by an additional $2 million, the revised aggregate value will not exceed $4 million. Funds are available in the Parks and Recreation Department's budget using NSD funds.
Concurrence/Previous Council Action
These contracts were originally approved by City Council on April 18, 2018.
