Award and Selection Process: The City (Owner) anticipates award of Riverdale Park playground project the day following City Council approval on July 28th, 2026. The city will award the project to the most responsible proposer, in relation to the city's assessment on the maximum play value, together with the overall quality of the products and site improvements, and project delivery terms. The Park and Recreation Commission will evaluate A proposals with other A proposals, and likewise for B proposals. The top choice for A proposals will then be evaluated with the top choice B proposal. The Park and Recreation Commission will then make a recommendation to City Council on the specific proposal for approval (either an 'A' or 'B' proposal). The Commission's recommendation to Council will be for a playground and associated site improvements (if any) that is in the best interest of the community in relation to play value and experience, not necessarily the lessor cost of one proposal over another.
