The action requested of City Council is to review and consider the approval of the attached deductive change order in the amount of ($4,000) and the final pay request in the amount of $115,152.83 from Top Line Recreation Incorporated.

As the City Council is aware, improvements to Sims Park were completed in 2016. Included in the improvements was the relocation and expansion of the existing playground.  Existing playground equipment was replaced with modern equipment containing up-to-date safety features.  Finally, the existing playground surface containing wood chips was replaced with a Poured-in-Place (PIP) playground surfacing. 

As City Council may recall, the original surface was eight years old and contained several major repairs and was in need of replacement due to safety concerns and maintenance costs.  The PIP overlay is recommended by the manufacture as a one-time application.
