Rationale: This resolution is to grant the administration the authority to enter into contract as described above. This is a new contract which separates the inspection of playgrounds from the repair work. This is to garner more objective assessments of the playgrounds and limit the extent of required repairs.

In compliance with General Municipal Law 104b, RFP 391 was issued on or about February 1, 2019 and received February 13, 2019. Proposals were examined and all due diligence observed in determining the best fit based on value and qualifications. There were three proposers. The lowest bidder at $18,150 and the highest bidder at $131,000.

This contract has a term of one year, renewable under the same terms and conditions by the mutual consent of both parties for up to two additional years.

The school district currently has 37 district owned playgrounds in various conditions at 26 different schools. It is desirable that they be inspected in a timely and professional manner. The inspections are required by a Federal Law enacted in 2000 and will insure that the playgrounds are safe for the children to use and equipment is up to date. The scope of work will include but is not limited to annual inspections & reporting. It will be performed by a Certified Playground Inspector
