Statement of Purpose
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE: This resolution authorizes the purchase and installation of playground equipment for Chambers Grove Park from Flagship Recreation LLC in the amount of $148,835.
This new playground equipment for Chambers Grove Park replaces that which had been removed 10 years ago. The existing set of swings will remain with the new equipment being installed adjacent.
The funding for this purchase is being financed by State of Minnesota Legacy Funds that were granted to the city for the purpose of restoration and improvements at Chambers Grove Park. This grant was one of ten legislatively designated appropriations for the restoration of parks and trails in the Duluth area impacted by the flood of 2012 and requires no in-kind match from the city.
This purchase is based on Minnesota State Contract 25294, Release P-949(5).
