RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent to amend a purchase order, on behalf of the Employment and Human Services Department, with Kompan Playgrounds, Inc. to increase the payment limit by $99,000 from $150,000 for a new payment limit not to exceed $249,000 for playground equipment at county childcare centers and to extend the term from January 31, 2019 to January 31, 2020.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This action increases purchase order #011831 by $150,000 to a total amount of $249,000. The cost increase is covered by the Bureau's Federal Head Start funding.

BACKGROUND:

Kompan collaborates with designers and city developers to deliver fun and intelligent solutions for children who have limited time for physical activities. This request is to increase the payment limit and extend the term of the purchase order to cover additional costs for playground installations, at additional facilities. The two playground installations currently in progress are at an estimated cost of $94,000. A few smaller scale playground projects to meet the need for age appropriate playground equipment for toddlers, are pending. These additional projects are needed to ensure all playground equipment at county-run facilities meet Title 22 childcare requirements. Kompan certifies that all installed playgrounds meet nationally recognized ASTM testing standards and criteria, to reduce the risk of life threatening and debilitating injuries.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without the increased purchase order, Early Head Start child care enters would not adequately meet the age appropriate needs of infant-toddler aged children.
