Board hears plan to replace Waldo Pafford Elementary playground for $142,531.92
Summary
District staff presented a proposal to replace two playground structures at Waldo Pafford Elementary with a $142,531.92 turnkey installation from GameTime; item was informational and will return for board approval.
Liberty County School System staff presented an informational proposal to replace playground equipment at Waldo Pafford Elementary School. Chief Operations Officer Mr. Jackson told the board the existing equipment is over 30 years old and the district plans to purchase two playground sets from GameTime, including demolition, rubber mulch and certified installation.
Jackson said one structure will serve kindergarten through second grade and the other will serve grades K–5; GameTime will provide a lifetime warranty on hardware, five years on components and three years on labor. The total cost to replace both playgrounds is $142,531.92, and the funding source noted was ESSER Plus (transcript reference: "East Plus" spelled as spoken).
Board members and staff discussed procurement: Mr. Jackson said the district is using an existing state contract (US/state contract) rather than issuing a new RFP in order to obtain a better price and faster delivery. Jackson also confirmed the equipment is accessible for some students with special needs and that other playgrounds remain available at the school.
The item was informational and will return to the board for formal approval at the next meeting with full backup documentation and procurement details.
