Josephine CDC discusses splash pad repairs and large shade-structure options; requests vendor quotes
Summary
The JCDC discussed deterioration of the splash pad surface and considered several shade-structure options for the playground and parent seating. Board asked for additional vendor quotes and pricing for a 40x40 primary shade and smaller complementary structures near the splash pad.
Board members described visible deterioration of the splash pad surface and an ad-hoc rubber patching that needs repair. A board member who inspected the site recommended repaving/repair and discussed prior spending for expansion and related concrete work.
A vendor (Adventure Play Systems) provided illustrative quotes for several shade configurations: a 20-by-20 pyramid-style shade (~$17,000 installed), a 20-by-55 structure (~$37,000), and full coverage of a basketball court (around $75,000) including benches and insulation; the vendor also offered packages that included benches and other accessories. Board members favored prioritizing a larger cover for the small-kid playground area with additional smaller shades for parent seating to increase useability and provide protection from sun and inclement weather.
Members noted lead times (about 12–14 weeks for some structures) and a five-year fade warranty from the vendor. The board did not take immediate purchasing action; instead, it asked the presenting board member to obtain additional competitive quotes and return with a recommended configuration and firm pricing for near-term consideration.
