<br />Memo in Parks & Recreation Committee's Packet regarding bids: <br /> <br />Included in your packet is a copy of a bid from TrueRide skate park equipment, which <br />the committee discussed at the last committee meeting, a bid from Minnesota/Wisconsin <br />Playground, Inc.and a bid from DuraFun. All three bids are within the committee's <br />budget. Each manufacturer's equipment is made from different materials. <br /> <br />Mr. Harlan Lehman, MinnesotalWisconsin Playground Equipment submitted a bid for <br />Spohncrete, a concrete form of skate park equipment. Per Mr. Lehman, this is a one time <br />offer and it is fIrst-come first served. The reason being, it will be the first installation in <br />the state and people want to see it. The product comes with a primary 5 year warranty, <br />and then a secondary 10 year warranty to total 15 years. The equipment being quoted is <br />slightly different from the attached photos because they'll be made for surface mounting. <br />They will come with stainless steel transition plates at the base. These plates come <br />integral to the ramp so there are no fasteners that can come loose. The City will need a <br />crane to off-load the equipment and set it on site. That is all of the "heavy" work that is <br />required. A crane can be rented locally for approximately $100 per hour. Public Works <br />has seen the information on this equipment and Mr. Peterson has contacted Mr. Lehman <br />for referrals from sites that have this equipment installed. His concern was how the <br />equipment would hold up with the temperatures in Minnesota and requested a referral in <br />a like climate. Mr. Lehman will forward this information and we should have an update <br />by the meeting April 4, 2007. <br /> <br />Mr. Dan Wagner, DuraFun, emailed the following information with the quote for Rhino <br />equipment: <br /> <br />I put together numbers and came up with two 48" high (Kids will like the additional <br />height better than 36" ramps) quarterpipes that each have two 4' wide sections. Similar to <br />what was purchased initially. One of the quarterpipes includes the slightly used model I <br />have in my warehouse. Delivery may seem high, and it probably is, but I will not get a <br />quote back from Rhino until next week and when I do I will let you know if there is a <br />difference. The price includes an 8' wide streetspine that is 24" high. Rhino also has a <br />large streetspine that is 48" high for an additional $1300. <br /> <br />You may want to include the larger streetspine as the users will certainly find it more <br />challenging. If you want to do that I will include it for the money you have to work with. <br /> <br />~-7 <br />
