The 2006 - 2011 Park and Recreation Open Space Plan identified replacement of aging playgrounds as a high priority. The condition of the play areas at Leslie Park merits attention because the structures and surfacing have deteriorated and do not meet current safety guidelines.

*Lowest responsible bid
The resolution includes a recommended construction contingency of $3,528.87 (10%) to cover potential contract change orders to be approved by the City Administrator. It is requested that a $38,816.00 total construction project budget be established for the life of the project without regard to fiscal year.
Cameron Contracting, Incorporated meets the living wage and prevailing wage requirements and received Human Rights approval on May 16, 2008.
