Public Works <br /> Engineering <br /> City of Eugene <br /> MEMORANDUM 858 Pearl Street <br /> Eugene, Oregon 97401 <br /> (541) 682-5291 <br /> (541) 682-5032 FAX <br /> Date: July 7, 2006 <br /> To: Debbie Clark, PW Administration <br /> From: Emily Proudfoot, PW Engineering <br /> Subject: RiverPlay wood chip surfacing purchase <br /> Debbie - <br /> We recently accepted delivery of 525 cubic yards of engineered wood fiber play chips for the <br /> RiverPlay Playground project at Skinner Butte Pazk. The vendor was Rexius as they provided us <br /> with a significant discount as a donation to the project, they are a local vendor of this product, <br /> and they provide a product that I prefer as a designer and specifier of playground related products <br /> and equipment <br /> In the process of soliciting this donation, we also received quotes from vendors who supply a <br /> compazable product. At that time we estimated that 370 cubic yards would be installed. We <br /> received quotes of $34.27/cubic yard from SiteLines of Oregon and SW Washington, <br /> $31.70/cubic yard from Northwest Recreation of Oregon and $24.96/cubic yard from Rexius. <br /> In reality we installed 525 cubic yards as there is a significant amount of fluff before the product <br /> compacts to the appropriate depth. The total billed for the chips is $12,929.00, which actually <br /> comes out to $24.62/ cubic yazd, and if we pay net 10th, we'll receive a 10% discount. I have <br /> attached the invoice approved for payment and copies of the quotes we received. If you have any <br /> additional questions or concerns regarding the purchase of this item, please contact me via email <br /> or at ext. 6019. <br /> h s ve or your assistance. <br /> <br /> Emily Prou oot, AS <br /> <br /> Landscape chitect, Const ction Project Manager <br /> 0~_10-06A06~02 RCVD <br /> <br />
