He indicated Hicks and Bach have drafted <br />a detailed staff memo and also invited representatives from CRS to bring samples this evening. <br />Hicks stated he had Jeff Corneal from CRS in attendance to review samples of their playground materials with <br />the Council. He reviewed the best value procurement process in further detail and explained staff still believed <br />CRS was proposing to provide the best playground structure for the Eagle's Nest. He commented on the <br />prerequisites for the bidding process and explained CRS came in first place. <br />Councilmember Burg questioned why CRS had to be selected under the best value procurement process. City <br />Attorney Sonsalla explained under best value practices the City came up with a process with which to evaluate <br />the proposals, to score them, and whoever scores the highest, this was who the City had to select. <br />Hicks reviewed the playground structure design in further detail with the Council and noted all ASDM and <br />CPSA standards were being met with the proposed plans. Further discussion ensued regarding the safety <br />standards. He stated he spoke with three other vendors that had CRS equipment installed (located in <br />Edmonton, Coon Rapids, California) noting the closest was in Coon Rapids and was called Urban Air <br />Trampoline Park which opened in 2011. The gentleman he spoke with from California had been to the <br />manufacturing plant in China in order to review the quality of the material. Lastly, he reviewed the warranty <br />that CRS would be providing on its equipment. <br />Jeff Corneal, CRS, provided the Council with samples of the building materials that would be used in the <br />Eagle's Nest. He described how the netting, dura -mesh and foam materials would be safely secured to the <br />playground structure. He explained all structures would be preassembled and packaged overseas. <br />Councilmember Burg expressed concern with the durability of the proposed vendor and their products. Mr. <br />Corneal stated there were numerous playground structures in Canada, Europe and China. He explained his <br />company was just moving into the North American market. He reported his company could enhance the <br />plastic to a higher density that would have a longer lifetime if the Council approved. He stated his playgrounds <br />were lasting 20+ years outdoors. He indicated his office was located in Madison, Wisconsin and reported it <br />
