RECOMMENDATION(S):

AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to advertise for bids for the 2022 Playground Equipment Services Contract(s) for maintenance, repairs and upgrades to playground equipment at various County facilities, Countywide.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Facilities Maintenance Budget. (100% General Fund)

BACKGROUND:

Public Works Facilities Services is responsible for the maintenance and repairs of playground equipment at various County-owned facilities. The existing contractor provides routine maintenance and repairs to a variety of playgrounds, tables and benches at County maintained parks and Head Start facilities. They can also provide upgrades to debilitated playground equipment and the installation of turf as an eco-friendly alternative. Government Code Section 25358 authorizes the County to contract for maintenance, care and upkeep of County buildings and grounds.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The Public Works Department is requesting authorization to advertise and conduct a formal solicitation for playground maintenance and repair services. A Notice to Bidders would be placed in the Contra Costa Times and several building exchanges in accordance with the Cost Accounting Policies and Procedures Manual of the California Uniform Construction Cost Accounting Commission.

The Public Works Department intends to award at least one (1) but not more than two (2) contracts, a total of contracts not to exceed $1,200,000. Each contract will have a term of three (3) years with the option of two (2) one-year extensions and will be used as needed with no minimum amount that has to be spent.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If the request to advertise is not approved, the Public Works Department will not be able to advertise for playground equipment maintenance and repair services.
