Council approves park bench replacements and Oakwood Park playground path work
Summary
Council approved requisitions for 24 replacement benches at Centennial Park (not to exceed $44,793.68) and for patio/driveway replacement tied to Oakwood Park playground (not to exceed $14,580), using cooperative purchasing contracts to expedite repairs ahead of park programs.
Council approved two requisitions tied to parks improvements. The borough will replace 24 benches in Centennial Park through Ben Schaeffer Recreation Inc. at a cost not to exceed $44,793.68 through cooperative purchasing; staff noted the current benches are approximately 25 years old and the replacements will support summer programming and other events.
Council also approved a requisition not to exceed $14,580 for patio and driveway replacement related to the Oakwood Park playground project. The work responds to issues identified during excavation, including an underground sprinkler system relocation and retaining-wall adjustments to connect walkways to park structures. Officials said they used cooperative purchasing and that timelines align with other park upgrades under way.
Both items were presented as routine capital maintenance using cooperative purchasing to expedite delivery and improve park amenities for residents.
