The council approved a contract with Wurlix Design Inc. for construction of a new playground and surfacing at Hawkins Springs Park at a base cost of $377,275. Parks staff told council that supply and bond pricing changes after agenda publication added approximately $8,934 to the packet numbers; staff will cover that amount from the parks maintenance line or contingency.
Staff emphasized that many playground bids are higher than historical prices and that the project will reuse an existing shade structure to save cost and include inclusive rubberized surfacing similar to Community Park. Council discussed funding options for the small overage and approved the motion, with a friendly amendment to include the additional $6,006.59 (noted in the minutes) and final approval passed 6–0.
