RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council approve Resolution No. 12-13, approving specifications for the purchase and installation of new playground equipment at Columbus Tustin Park (CIP No. 20067), and authorizing the City Clerk to advertise for bids. FISCAL IMPACT: Renovation of playground equipment at Columbus Tustin Park is included in the Capital Improvement Program for Fiscal Year 2011-2012. Adequate funds are available in the Park Development Fund 131 for the purchase and installation of new playground equipment at Columbus Tustin Park. Total estimated cost for the project is $145,000. BACKGROUND: The playground equipment at Columbus Tustin Park (17522 Beneta Way) is over 20 years old and in need of replacement. The Community Services Commission has identified the upgrade of this playground as next in line on their seven-year CIP priority list. This project may also include a new section of rubber poured-in-place playground surfacing and an entry ramp as required for ADA compliance. In addition, the playground design for this project will make it "universally accessible" to all children regardless of ability. Staff has consulted with the playground manufacturer as well as representatives from the Blind Children's Learning Center to make sure the design would meet the needs of a wide spectrum of children with limited abilities. This will be Tustin's first playground of this kind.
