BACKGROUND:
On October 22, 2012, the City Council adopted a Resolution approving the
application for grant funds from the Los Angeles County Regional Park and Open
Space District Excess Funds Grant Program for the Syd Kronenthal (SK) Park
Playground Rehabilitation Project. On March 5, 2013, the Los Angeles County
Board of Supervisors approved Proposition A Cities Excess Funds in the amount of
$250,000.00 for the Project. The fully-executed Grant Agreement was received in
July 2013 and in 2014 the project performance period (completion deadline) was
extended to June 30, 2015.
DISCUSSION:
The scope of work for the Project includes: (a) replacing the outdated playground
equipment with sculptural elements that are both physically and intellectually
stimulating; (b) replacing the sand surfacing using 100% engineered wood fibar; (c)
incorporating needed features such as an accessible ramp; and, (d) providing a path
of travel to and from the parking area to the playground area that will bring the entire
playground into 100% federal ADA compliance.
