Committee approves recognition bench purchase, authorizes up to $400
Summary
Del City’s Parks and Beautification Committee approved buying a recognition bench (approx. $318 plus anti-graffiti coating) with a purchase order not to exceed $400; Public Works will pour a concrete pad for installation and the committee will finalize bench design.
The Del City Parks and Beautification Committee voted Feb. 24 to authorize a purchase order for a recognition bench and related installation work. Staff described a bench option priced around $318 plus a protective anti-graffiti finish and asked the committee to approve up to $400 to cover the bench and coating.
Committee members discussed the bench design and placement at Townsend Park and asked staff to confirm the final artwork; staff said the bench will feature a Del City logo and that the vendor’s production and design timeline is two to 60 days after approval. Committee members approved the request after a motion and second; the meeting record shows the motion carried by voice vote.
Staff noted that pouring the concrete slab for bolting the bench down will be an additional expense handled by Public Works and not charged to the Parks and Beautification Committee’s bench line item.
Why it matters: The bench is intended as a recognition or memorial feature and requires coordination with Public Works for final installation. Committee members emphasized ensuring the inscription and design are correct before finalizing the purchase order.
Next steps: Staff will finalize the vendor design, issue the PO up to the approved amount, and coordinate slab installation with Public Works.
