Background
Information: The purpose of this item is to seek City Council authorization to
purchase construction services for the Bob Jones Park soccer
playground from Heartland Park & Recreation, LLC.
The design and installation of a new playground and shade
structure at the Bob Jones Park soccer fields was a
recommendation of the Southlake 2030 Parks, Recreation & Open
Space/Community Facilities Master Plan. On December 19, 2017,
the City Council approved purchase of the new playground
equipment from Play & Park Structures. Play & Park Structures has
hired Heartland to demo the current playground structure and install
the new equipment.
Staff has identified additional site work that needs to be done to the
playground area. On May 23, 2018, Heartland provided a quote in
the amount of $63,209 for demo lition of an existing concrete wall,
installation of new concrete apron, replacement of wro ught iron
fencing and installation of new gates. Heartland is affiliated with the
TIPS purchasing cooperative of which the City of Southlake is a
member. A copy of the quote is attached to this memo.
Financial
Considerations: Funding for the project in the amount of $500,000 is approved in
the FY 2018 CIP through the SPDC and Park Dedication Capital
Budgets. Proposed construction services with Heartland will be
paid for through the Park Dedication Capital Budget.
