Board approves splash-pad site amenities and turf maintenance contracts for Northeast Park
Summary
The Greenwood parks board approved two purchase agreements for splash-pad amenities (12 kaleidoscope benches and a shade structure) paid with CDBG funds and a not-to-exceed $73,470 turf-maintenance contract with MG Landscape Lawn Services, giving staff authority to amend contracts as needed.
The Greenwood parks board on July 7 approved two purchase agreements with Landscape Structures Incorporated for site amenities at the Northeast Park splash pad and authorized a separate turf-maintenance contract for sports-park fields.
Staff said the first purchase is for 12 kaleidoscope benches at a stated cost of $20,970 and the second is a shade structure listed at $19,795, both to be purchased with Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds. "So shade structure and the benches, this is for the loose items for the build out in Northeast Funding these through, CDBG money," a staff member said. The board approved the purchases with provisos that staff may return with minor amendments if necessary.
The board separately approved a services agreement with MG Landscape Lawn Services for turf work and ongoing maintenance at the sports park, with a not-to-exceed amount discussed in the meeting of $73,470. Staff said the figure includes optional root-booster applications that may not all be needed and gives the city flexibility to reduce work if fewer applications are required.
The motions were moved by Mr. Burton and seconded by Mr. Dietrich for the purchase agreements; the maintenance contract motion was moved by Mr. Burton and seconded by Miss Williams. Verbal roll-call-style votes were recorded and the motions carried.
Board members asked for clarity about prior work by the contractor and the budget timing. A staff member said the contractor had previously completed turf installs and that some of the maintenance charges reflect work already performed earlier in the year. The board approved the agreements with authorization for staff to make limited amendments to the procurement documents if needed.
The contracts and amounts were presented during the meeting packet and discussed on the record; staff said CDBG funds would cover the site-amenity purchases and that any future changes would be returned for board approval if substantive.
The board moved on to other agenda items following the votes.
