Commission approves $39,302 playground purchase for Kyler Park and $7,200 historic-jail grant writing task order
Summary
The board approved a turnkey playground purchase for Kyler Park for $39,302 and authorized $7,200 to prepare a historic-jail preservation grant application that would fund masonry repairs and an ADA platform lift.
Commissioners voted to purchase a new playground structure for Kyler Park using a cooperative purchasing contract with a vendor identified by staff for $39,302 (equipment plus installation and two separate components). Staff said the existing climbing apparatus is in disrepair and the new package will replace that unit while retaining swings.
Separately the board approved a $7,200 task order to North Florida Professional Services to prepare a Historic Preservation grant application for the jail museum. The proposed scope includes significant brick-and-mortar masonry repair and replacement of an outdated transfer chair with a modern ADA-compliant platform lift; staff noted the work would be prioritized to protect fragile historic materials and that the application would require a local match.
