HEARING REQUIRED: No Hearing Required
SUMMARY:
The play structure and surfacing being requested provides unique, creative, and imaginative play opportunities for youth ages 2-5 and 5-12 through the “Little Turtle Town” structure and the Large Agility Course. The City worked with several playground agencies to develop a distinctive playground that would meet the needs of the community. Kompan Inc., was chosen due to the innovative design and multiple play options that youth would be provided. Along with the equipment, the addition of a Poured in Place Rubber Surface will create multiple opportunities for inclusiveness and access for all individuals who wish to participate.
The equipment, playground surface, and installation will be purchased through a government purchasing cooperative organization, Omini Partners (Contract #2017001135) that the City has previously used for much of its playground equipment.
