Summary:
|
The Board of Education has committed to providing financial support over the next 7-8 years to elementary schools with aging playgrounds. Lincoln Elementary and Johnson Elementary are scheduled for playground replacement in the summer of 2022. In preparation for the summer of 2022 and beyond, the Business Office recommends that a playbook be developed to ensure a consistent approach to each project on an annual basis. In addition, we are seeking professional oversight/management of the playground replacements at Lincoln and Johnson Elementary. The services that are expected run from initial site visits through the entire construction process.
Dr. Schuler, Dr. O'Keeffe and Mr. John Robinson met with six playground representatives/playground architects. Two proposals from playground architects were received. Each proposal offered to develop a playbook and provide professional services related to the renovations of Lincoln and Johnson playgrounds. The highest proposal came from Hitchcock Design Group at a total cost of $55,800.00. The lowest proposal came from Upland Design, Ltd. at a total cost of $30,750.00. Both proposals included all of the required services the District is seeking.
