Committee backs contract for Optimus Park playground replacement, accessible surfacing
Summary
The Finance Committee recommended that the City Council approve a professional services agreement with Great Western Installations Inc. to design and install an accessible playground at Optimus Park, with a not-to-exceed amount of $299,825.46 and completion anticipated in April if approved.
The Cheyenne Finance Committee on March 4 recommended City Council approval of a professional services agreement with Great Western Installations Inc. to design and install a new playground at Optimus Park.
Jason Sanchez, Community Recreation and Events, said the project will replace the existing playground with equipment that includes many accessible components and will convert the engineered wood fiber safety surfacing to synthetic turf. Sanchez said the majority of funding comes from a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) parks project fund with a smaller portion from park development impact fees. If the City Council approves the contract on Monday, Sanchez said anticipated completion would be in April.
Moved by Roybal and seconded by Moody, the committee recommended approval of a contract not to exceed $299,825.46 and forwarded the recommendation to the March 10 City Council meeting.
Committee members praised cross-departmental collaboration on parks projects and noted past successes such as a recent gymnastics facility ribbon cutting. The transcript records the contract cap and the funding sources but does not include a formal roll-call vote in committee.
