ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL — APRIL 24, 2017 10 PLAYGROUND STRUCTURE REPLACEMENT QUOTES Public Works Director/City Engineer Polka stated the cost for the equipment and installation for both parks totals $139,128.19. The City will save on shipping costs if both projects can be ordered and shipped at the same time. The Public Works Department will be removing the existing equipment and grading both sites. If Council approves the work, installation will take place in June at Perry Park and August or September at Hazelnut Park after completion of the summer playground program. Councilmember Holden asked if this playground had incorporated equipment for seniors. Public Works Director/City Engineer Polka commented she was not aware of this request but noted one of the swings would allow for an adult and child to swing together. Councilmember Holden requested staff investigate this further for the next time the City replaces a playground structure.
