Marshall Williamson Park Tot Lot Renovation REQUEST The purpose of this memorandum is to seek the approval of the attached resolution for the renovation of the Tot Lots located at Marshall Williamson Park. BACKGROUND Marshall Williamson Park isa heavily used park demanding durable,vandal resistant play equipment that appeals to the clientele.There are two play pods that historically have been separated by the age of the users.These pods will continue to contain play equipment for elementary and early childhood ages as they previously did,and remain the same in size and shape.Additional consideration has been given to creating more wheelchair accessibility into each play area. Early Childhood Pod -Young children are attracted by bright colors and interesting shapes.They have a short attention span and like to experience a variety of physical and creative play events.Children under 5 years of age typically have undeveloped social skills and often like some time to play alone or side by side other children.This age group also likes a sense of security in the play environment.An award winning "Kompan"playhouse structure, complete with a balcony,binoculars,a bridge,climbing and sliding events is the main focus of this pod.The playhouse is easily supervised as it has a split roof plan and it offers many of the play elements this age group needs.Due to new standards for use zones of play equipment,this pod is not large enough for swings.Two individual spring riders and a spring-based seesaw are included to provide the element of motion.The springs on the seesaw are balanced and support adult weight.This creates a wonderful opportunity for parents or older siblings to interact with the young children. Elementary Age Play Pod -This age group is becoming much more sophisticated due to our high tech society.They have a need to be seen in cool clothes,doing cool things,showing off and socializing with their friends. Providing the right play element allows them to burn excess energy ina positive way.The equipment for this area is "Galaxy".High tech yet sculptural in design,this award winning equipment offers lots of opportunities for challenging climbing,balancing and stimulating movement experiences. There are events,which allow them to play alone or as a group.This environment provides physical play events,which also stimulate the social and intellectual growth of the children. Wheelchair accessibility in both pods is provided by access over resilient rubber pathways to a transfer point on the main structure as well as to ground level events.The remaining surface will be engineered of wood fiber,which provides for wheelchair accessibility throughout the play pod.This product does not displace as sand does and will facilitate the removal of debris such as broken glass. The removal of the present equipment,whose age and condition renders ita safety concern,is part of the renovation process.Kompan Southeast,Inc.is the firm,which is undertaking this project.They are the same firm that did the original Tot Lots at Marshall Williamson and Dante Fascell Parks.Kompan Southeast,Inc.has done or is currently doing work for Miami-Dade County Parks:Coral Reef Park,Colonial Park,Briar Bay Park,Amelia Earhart Park and Miami Shores Recreation Department as well as City of Ft Lauderdale Snyder Park.We feel confident that they will continue to provide the City with a quality installation and a product that is safe,durable,and enjoyable for the children of our community. We are piggy backing off of State Negotiated Agreement Price Schedule- Department of Management Services located in Tallahassee,Florida (Expiration Date:October,2000),(SNAPS Agreement No.6501654). The expenditure of $60,803.00 for this project will come from Account Number 001-0000-131-1440 "Marshall Williamson Park Improvement/Safety Grant".Available balance is $87,202.36.
