Council approves $20,128 purchase of Lafayette Park furnishings
Summary
The South Lyon City Council approved a $20,128 purchase of outdoor furniture for Lafayette Park from Landscape Forms, using a $20,000 allocation tied to a Main Street Oakland County placemaking grant; the vendor donated five high-top stools as part of the quotes.
The South Lyon City Council on June 8 approved buying outdoor furnishings for Lafayette Park, reallocating $20,000 from the general account under a Main Street Oakland County placemaking grant and authorizing a total purchase of $20,128.
DDA Director reported the DDA board had approved a budget amendment and said the city selected Landscape Forms ‘‘based on design, aesthetics, function, and quality’’ and noted the vendor ‘‘is committed to sustainability’’ and supplied two quotes; the director added the company is donating five high-top stools.
Council Member Hansen moved to approve Landscape Forms quotes 466842 and 466987 for a total of $20,128; Council Member Popa seconded. Council members asked about warranty and durability; the DDA director said she would confirm warranty terms and provide that information to council. City Clerk Deedon conducted the roll-call vote; recorded votes were Dill — yes; Hansen — yes; Popa — yes; Hurts — yes; Squireers — yes; Kennedy — yes. The motion carried.
Why it matters: the purchase implements placemaking grant goals and adds sustainable, branded furnishings to Lafayette Park ahead of planned park improvements and a furniture installation tied to upcoming park bids and work.
What’s next: the DDA director will confirm warranty details and staff will proceed with the purchase and coordinate installation with the park schedule.
