Woodruff approves playground installation using county grant; town to cover remainder
Summary
The board approved a contract with Garrett's Park & Play to install a new playground, using a roughly $25,000 county grant and town funds to cover the remaining cost (town estimate about $35,000 total obligation). The town discussed hauling, installation and a November grant deadline.
The Woodruff Town Board voted to accept a proposal from Garrett's Park & Play to complete excavation, grading, curbing and surface work and to install a playground structure at the town park, using a county grant and town funds.
Board members reviewed a bid that included excavation, grading and wood-fiber surfacing and a separate line-item for the playground structure. The town expects roughly $25,000 in grant funds to apply to the project; with the vendor's quoted installation fee the board estimated the town's remaining share would be about $35,000.
Members discussed options to save money (having town crews haul debris) versus paying the contractor for full installation to ensure timely completion and appropriate liability coverage. The board noted the grant funds must be spent by Nov. 1 and expressed a preference for vendor installation so the work is done to spec and on schedule.
On a motion from the board, members approved the Garrett's Park & Play contract and authorized moving forward with the procurement and scheduling. The board asked staff to coordinate timing, confirm final pricing and explore donations or additional funding sources to reduce the town's share.
