Parks/Utilities Supervisor Boos displayed the drawings from the vendors. <br /> <br />Motion by Commissioner Olds, seconded by Commissioner Johns, to recess the meeting in order <br />to study the proposals from vendors. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Cook, Commissioners Olds, Johns, and LaMere. <br />Voting No: None. Absent: Commissioners Ostrum and Rolfe. <br /> <br />Chairperson Cook recessed the meeting at 7:25 p.m. <br /> <br />Motion by Commissioner Johns, seconded by Commissioner Olds, to reconvene the meeting. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Cook, Commissioners Johns, Olds, and LaMere. <br />Voting No: None. Absent: Commissioners Ostrum and Rolfe. <br /> <br />Chairperson Cook called the meeting back to order at 7:53 p.m. <br /> <br />Chairperson Cook explained the Commission is considering the vendor to be Flanagan Sales. <br />The reason is that it looks like it would provide a continuous area of play from one end of the <br />structure to the other. It provides that type of play for average children and it is handicap <br />accessible on both sides of the structure. He concluded it seemed to offer more play events than <br />the other proposals, including five slides and two access areas that are tunneled. <br /> <br />Chairperson Cook explained that the proposal from Recreation Sports didn't seem to have as <br />many elevation changes as it went around the structure. It seemed to have barriers for those that <br />are not able-bodied. <br /> <br />Chairperson Cook noted that the proposed structure from St. Croix seemed to have several places <br />where the play broke up. It didn't seem to offer as many play activities as some other structures. <br />Though the Commission liked the look of the structure and the colors, and the look of the posts, <br />it didn't seem to have the same play flow as the structure chosen. <br /> <br />Motion by Commissioner Johns, seconded by Commissioner LaMere, to recommend Flanagan <br />Sales as the Playstructure supplier for the 2001 Playequipment replacement at River's Bend Park, <br />not to exceed cost of $49,986. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Cook, Commissioners Johns, LaMere, and Olds. <br />Voting No: None. Absent: Commissioners Ostrum and ROlfe. <br /> <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor Boos informed that the quote might only be valid until the end of the <br />year. The company will buy the goods before the end of the year and store them until they are <br />used. <br /> <br />Commissioner Olds questioned if a downpayment will need to be made and a final payment after <br />installation. <br /> <br />Park and Recreation Commission/November 15, 2001 <br /> Page 8 of 12 <br /> <br /> <br />
