Council approves $142,614 purchase to replace Community Park playground equipment
Summary
Camp Verde approved purchasing new playground equipment from Playground Boss, LLC for $142,614 after staff said the current equipment was outdated and not up to code; a resident questioned whether repair would be less costly.
The Town of Camp Verde approved a purchase of Community Park playground equipment from Playground Boss, LLC for $142,614, citing code and safety concerns with the existing play structures.
CIP Project Manager Martin Smith told council the playground equipment is outdated and cannot be safely retrofitted with parts from a different manufacturer. Staff recommended using a cooperative contract with Playground Boss, LLC to replace the equipment. Resident Ruth Bondie expressed concern that repair might be less expensive than full replacement.
On a motion by Councilor Jessie Murdock, seconded by Councilor Robin Godwin, council moved to award the purchase; the minutes record the award without a roll-call tally in the text.
The minutes do not specify funding sources or an installation schedule; council and staff discussed code compliance as the driving factor for replacement.
