Dannheisser, City Attorney <br />Richard Brown - Morilla, City Clerk <br />RE: SHADE COVERING FOR PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT LOCATED AT <br />THE GOLDEN SHORES POCKET PARK AND THE GWEN MARGOLIS <br />PARK <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />It is recommended that the City Commission approve the attached resolution entering into an <br />agreement with Superior Park Systems, Inc. for the purchase and installation of shade covering <br />for the playground equipment located at the Golden Shores Pocket Park and the Senator Gwen <br />Margolis Park. <br />REASONS <br />The City has playground equipment at the Golden Shores Pocket Park and the Senator Gwen <br />Margolis Park for the enjoyment of our younger residents and visitors. However, as these <br />playgrounds are outside, they are exposed to harsh weather conditions day in and day out. This <br />exposure renders the equipment unusable at times, and also reduces the life expectancy of the <br />equipment. Staff proposes the installation of shade covering atop the playground equipment in <br />order to protect the City's investment and maximize usage of the park. <br />ADDITIONAL INFORMATION <br />The proposed shade covering in made of durable material and is aesthetically pleasing, adding to <br />the beauty of the parks. Our purchase will piggyback the City of Jacksonville's price agreement <br />with Superior, which alleviates us from having to go out to bid for this item. The shade covering <br />includes a 5 -year warranty for fabric and a 10 -year warranty for structure and material defect. <br />These are the better shade coverings as in the parks in Aventura and Pinecrest. <br />CJR/pw <br />Shade Cover For Margohs & GS Park Agenda Memo <br />
