Trustees approve $17,575 purchase order for playground fence; turf installation underway
Summary
Trustees authorized a purchase order of $17,575 from park‑dedicated funds to install a fence at Morgan Township Community Park playground; contractors have completed equipment inspection and turf installation began the week before the meeting with a two‑week timeline reported by the vendor.
Trustees approved a purchase order for $17,575 Sept. 8 to install a safety fence around the playground at Morgan Township Community Park, using park‑dedicated fund accounts.
Park staff reported that playground equipment was installed and inspected by an independent compliance inspector, who found deficiencies that were fixed by the contractor. The inspector’s final review will occur after the turf and sidewalk are completed; staff said turf installation began the Friday before the meeting and the vendor gave an approximate two‑week timeline for completion. "The equipment has been checked off and signed by the company. It's ready to go," a park representative said.
The purchase order will pay a fence company that submitted the lowest of three bids, park staff said; the fence will be drilled into the curbing rather than attached to it, which staff said addresses a safety concern and accounts for part of the expense. Park staff also noted donor recognition signage is being finalized.
Ending: Park staff said the project should be largely complete in the coming weeks and that trustees will be updated if the schedule changes.
