RIVER'S BEND PARK PLAY EQUIPMENT REPLACEMENT MAKES SURPLUS EQUIPMENT AVAILABLE Each of the past several years, the City has been attempting to replace one older, ex/sting playstructure in Ramsey's parks with new equipment to meet the stringent Federal safety guidelines. (Often the old play equipment has been in place almost 20 years). As part of this process, City Council has declared the used play events surplus property - which then may be sold. The equipment may be suitable for back yard use or home daycares. River's Bend Park is the target for redevelopment this year. The new equipment is expected to be installed before May 1st, 2002. The City will be taking itemized bids for the unneeded play events until March 13, 2002. These include, exerglider with swings, modular wood structure with tire swing and slide, small tot wood structure with curly climber (the spring riders are not for sale). Persons wishing to submit a sealed bid for these items may pick-up a form at City Hall, or request a form by facsimile. Bids are due by 5:00 p.m. on March 13, 2002 at City Hall. Successful bidders will be notified following the March 14, 2002 Park and Recreation Commission meeting, which will be held at Fire Station No. 2 at 6:00 p.m. Transporting the equipment is the responsibility of buyers, but City staff may be available to assist with loading the equipment. To review the play equipment, travel two blocks east of T.H. #47, on 142nd Avenue, to the entrance of River's Bend Park.
