Authorization of Joint Playground, City of Chanhassen/ISD 276, Minnetonka
West Intermediate School
Last November, the Park & Recreation Commission purchased a playground system called a
"teen cluster" on a fire sale. The list price of the equipment is $14,988. The commission's bid of
$5,551.51 was accepted. The commission elected to reduce their approved contingency of
$10,000 to make this purchase.
The commission recommends the city council consider a joint venture with ISD 276 to install
this playground. The Minnetonka West Intermediate School site has been selected as the
preferred home for the equipment. With the council's approval, the school district would be
pleased to pick the equipment up, install it, and assume responsibility for its future maiI).tenance.
As the city council is aware, the three school campuses located in Chanhassen serve dual roles; a
school site and playground in the day and a community park at night. This joint venture is
another win/win for the citizens of Chanhassen.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the city council approve the joint playground project as described
between the City of Chanhassen and ISD 276.

Acceptance of Commission's Bid for "Teen Cluster"; Earl F. Anderson, Inc.
At your November meeting, commissioners responded to an invitation to bid on a one-of-a-kind
"special" offered by Earl F. Anderson, Inc. A "teen cluster" play system with a list price of
$14,988 was being offered to the highest bidder. The company had one available which had
apparently been used for promotional purposes. The commission's bid of$5,551.51 was
accepted by Earl F. Anderson.
A layout plan and equipment list is attached. The leg extensions as quoted at $1,462 are required
if we desire to "direct bury" the system. It is my recommendation that the commission accept
this quote. The cluster was manufactured as a surface mount structure to accommodate display
needs. If we elect to maintain the surface mount system, our resilient material costs increase
significantly. By investing the $1,462 in direct bury attachments, we are money ahead.
Now the big question. Where would you like to install the equipment?

9604 TeenCluster
Many kids fall between the age when
playgrounds are no longer cool, and when
th€y start driving. They like to hang out, and
show off to their peers. They like to interact
socially and be a part of a larger group.
Combine all of these requirements, and you
have Landscape Structures' TeenCluster. This
creative new gathering place is a sure bet to
get their approval.
Components sold separately or as shown
in plan.
