Council approves purchase of playground equipment for Merlo Park (Logan's Oasis)

The council approved a purchase order to acquire GameTime playground equipment for Merlo Park (referred to in the record as Logan's Oasis) and authorized next steps for engineering, bidding and installation.

Staff told council the city will take the approved layout to the city engineer for bid documents. Because Public Works has limited manpower, installation will be bid out; alternates for surfacing and sidewalks will be included so the council can select options when bids return. Staff also noted that contributed funds raised by the community will be processed through the city.

Council members praised earlier work by Public Works and said the project will require additional contracting and follow-up approvals for site work. The clerk recorded unanimous aye votes to approve the purchase and proceed with design and bidding.
