Approve the purchase of playground equipment for new Childcare Center from Exerplay, Inc. in the amount of $156,357.25
SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The attached proposal is for the purchase of playground equipment for the new childcare center at the old district office. The goal is to install the equipment at HHES under the west covered awning outside of the pre-school wing. The equipment will be purchased with THREAD grant funds that were designated ($200K) for furniture, fixtures and equipment.
The purchase is being made through the nationwide negotiated cooperative agreement from 1GPA. Procurement allows us to purchase using coop agreements as the procurement process has already been competitively solicited and negotiated by the co-op on behalf of states and municipalities.
The proposal includes a 5% co-op discount and freight FOB Valdez in the amount of $27,675.00. Installation will be completed by the contractor performing the renovation of the District Office this coming spring.
