Board approves $10,161.97 to replace playground safety surfacing at Ullery/Pasley Park
Summary
Parks staff told the board that playground mulch at Ullery/Pasley Park had eroded and asked for replacement through Sinclair and the Omnia purchasing program; the board approved $10,161.97 to bring the playground into compliance with safety standards.
Staff reported the playground mulch at Ullery/Pasley Park had eroded and needed replacement to meet safety standards. "We've worked with Sinclair for many projects…. it's part of the Omnia purchasing program, so we know it's already been through a 3 bid process," a staff member said, recommending replacement of mulch across the play area and a new toddler play addition.
A board member moved to approve the expenditure of $10,161.97 for mulch and the motion carried unanimously. Staff said the worst outcome would be having playground surfacing below code before a planned celebration and emphasized the safety benefit of the work.
The work will bring the playground surfacing up to the code-required depth, and staff said it is a necessary maintenance item to ensure visitor safety.
