DESCRIPTION: In December 2003, Staff distributed a Request for Proposals (RFP)
for the Shannon Park Play Equipment Replacement Project. The RFP sought proposals on play
equipment components and costs to replace the existing system.
Shannon Park has two play areas separated by a water feature. Play Area A is for ages 2-5 and Play Area
B is for ages 5-12. The layout of Play Area B provides a unique challenge in meeting Americans with
Disabilities Act for accessibility due to the elevation changes. As shown in Attachment #1, Play Area B
has three separate levels divided by concrete retaining walls. In evaluating Play Area B, Staff had
requested two alternative proposals for play equipment. The first alternative removes one of the retaining
walls to create one larger play area for play equipment placement. The second alternative maintains the
existing configuration of walls.
By the January 30, 2004 deadline, proposals were submitted from Ross Recreation, Playgrounds by
Design, and David O'Keefe Company ranging in price from $62,162 to $91,920. Staff subsequently
reviewed all three based on the following criteria:
1) Ability to meet functional requirements in terms of variety and age appropriateness of play
elements, accessibility, safety considerations and ease of on-going maintenance.
2) Value of play apparatus and site improvements proposed.
3) Extent of manufacturer's "Green Building" program.

After reviewing the proposals, at the February 9th meeting, the Parks and Community Services
Commission recommended the play equipment proposed by Ross Recreation including the option to
remove one retaining wall in Play Area B. At a cost of $91,920 Ross Recreation's proposal did not allow
sufficient funds to complete construction. The Commission directed Staff to work with Ross Recr~eation
to scale back some of the play comPonents to address budget constraints.
On February 23, 2004 the Parks and Community Services Commission, reviewed the revised play
equipment proposal from Ross Recreation. The Commission approved all aspects of the design, but
requested that one spring toy be added as an alternate in the construction bid package. The estimated cost
of $72,868, which includes the additional spring toy, retains the intent of the original proposal and
provides sufficient funds to complete construction.
The table below describes the amount and variety of components for the 2-5 year old and 5-12 year old
play areas as proposed by Ross Recreation.
