Installation occurred from <br />January through July 2026. The project is now complete to the satisfaction of the Director of <br />Public Works, for a total project cost of $177,018. <br /> <br />BACKGROUND <br />The Moller Park playground was identified as one of the oldest playgrounds in the city with the <br />greatest need of replacement play equipment as part of the 2025/26 Capital Improvement <br />Program (CIP) work plan. In March 2025, the City issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) <br />for the play equipment replacement. On April 30, 2025, the City received five qualification <br />packages. Park Planet was selected based on the quality of the design, the amount and quality <br />of equipment provided within the available budget, and the company’s capabilities. Staff <br />conducted public outreach in May 2025. <br /> <br />On October 7, 2025, the City Council authorized a professional services agreement with Park <br />Planet for the design, fabrication, and installation of new play equipment for $166,251, with an <br />approved construction contingency of $16,625, or approximately 10 percent. Construction <br />began in January 2026. <br /> <br />DISCUSSION <br />Installation of the Moller Park play equipment was substantially completed on February 6, <br />2026. Following installation, several storms caused minor flooding within the playground area. <br />On May 6, 2026, staff approved a change order for drainage improvements totaling $9,600. <br />The contractor completed the drainage improvements and all remaining punch list items in July <br />2026. <br /> <br /> EQUITY AND SUSTAINABILITY <br /> Approval of this action advances the Climate Action Plan (CAP 2.0) in Transportation and <br />Land Use by providing greater park accessibility for all users. <br /> <br />OUTREACH <br />Construction notifications were sent to all properties within 300 feet of Moller Park, and <br />construction signs were posted within the park. <br /> <br /> <br />Page 264 of 344
