Board approves ADA-compliant bleachers for Brain Park; lowest bid $25,195
Summary
The Marshfield Board of Public Works approved buying replacement bleachers at Brain Park after staff said existing seats failed IBC and ADA standards; staff reported the lowest bid was $25,195 from Northland Recreation and that $65,000 is allocated in the CIP for park amenities.
The Marshfield Board of Public Works voted Dec. 2 to approve the purchase of new bleachers for Brain Park after staff said the existing seating was removed for failing International Building Code and Americans with Disabilities Act standards.
The presenter, identified on the agenda as Justin Kasperston, said the city's 2025 capital improvement project for park amenities covers upgrades across more than 20 park sites and that most items fall below the board's purchasing threshold. He told the board the bleachers exceed that threshold, staff solicited five timely quotes, and “the lowest [was] Northland Recreation at $25,195.” He said $65,000 is allocated from room tax for park-amenity improvements generally, not specifically for the bleachers.
Board members discussed accessibility and compliance. One member noted concern about the small wheelchair space in the design but said the member was glad the project will result in ADA-compliant access and seating. Staff said the site work will make accessibility from the parking lot to the field and viewing areas compliant with IBC and ADA.
A board member moved to approve the low quote from Northland Recreation; another member seconded. The board carried the motion by voice vote; the transcript records ayes and the chair declared the motion carried. The meeting record does not include a named roll-call or a numerical vote tally.
The purchase order will proceed as approved; staff did not specify an installation timeline in the discussion. The item was part of a larger CIP line for park amenities that staff said will address picnic tables, trash and recycling receptacles, benches, bike racks, shade umbrellas and other site furnishings across the park system.
