Board approves contract for primary playground upgrade with ADA features
Summary
Board approved a contract to replace the primary playground (1st2nd grade) with ADA-accessible equipment, new surfacing and drainage work; staff said construction could start as soon as November and last about three weeks, with warranty and maintenance considerations discussed.
The board approved a contract recommendation to install a new primary playground for 1st and 2nd grades that includes ADA transfer stations, shade canopies and new soft surfacing. Facilities staff described student input in design selection and a plan to include wobbly surfboards, a fire pole and a four-person spring teeter-totter.
Staff flagged potential drainage work and included a contingency line item on the contract to cover the work if required. They estimated about a three-week construction window and discussed scheduling to minimize student impact (targeting conference weeks and breaks). Warranties were described in detail: 25 years for powder-coated bars, 10 years for shade structures and three years for springs; staff suggested a reseal for soft surfaces every three to five years (~$7,000) to extend lifespan.
Board members unanimously approved the contract recommendation and encouraged recognition for the volunteers who helped the soft-surface demo and prior playground work.
