This information also shows some quotes for comparable equipment. Mr. Eiden stated that the Playbooster equipment was more expensive but he felt that it would last longer than the Pipeline. He also stated that the equipment would take 45 days to be delivered and he figured that it would take about 3 weekends to install. The amount of area required to allow room for this equipment was 56 feet by 52 feet. Mr. Eiden also stated that he has already put approximately 30 hours of time into the research on the equipment. Szyplinski questioned the use of a roller slide. He stated that it needed special gravel and he felt that another slide (spiral or tunnel) could be installed and it would be less maintenance and would save about $1450. Eiden stated that as soon as the money would be allocated for the equipment, the work could be started. He stated that it would be supervised by adult Scout parents. Prochniak stated that inspections should be coordinated with Frank Stone, Public Works and Jim Schrantz, City Engineer. MOTION: by McMullen, seconded by Szyplinski to proceed with bids for purchase of playground equipment for Andover Community Park Complex, including Model 1864 Mexico Forge (excluding roller slide to be replaced with spiral or tunnel type slide).
