Acceptance of Commission's Bid for "Teen Cluster"; Earl F. Anderson, Inc.
At your November meeting, conm~issioners 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?
