by Design, NorCal Leisure Sales, North State Playgrounds and David O'Keefe Company ranging in price
from $56,706.59 to $63,011. Staff subsequently reviewed all five 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 &manufacturer's "Green Building" program.
Upon review, Staff recommended proposals from Ross Recreation, Playgrounds by Design and NorCal
Leisure Sales for further consideration at the Parks and Community Services Commission meeting March
17, 2003. The three proposals equally met accessibility requirements, safety considerations, ease of on-
going maintenance and manufacturer's "Green Building" program. In order to assist the Parks and
Community Services Commission with the decision-making, a table was prepared comparing the amount
and variety of proposed play equipment from each vendor. Upon examination of the proposals the
Commission recommends the play equipment proposed by NorCal Leisure Sales for City Council
approval. Overall, NorCal Leisure Sales provided the greatest assortment and number of play elements in
comparison to the other proposals. The estimated cost of $63,011 is within the available budget for the
