Renner William Fry from Fry and Associates addressed the Park Board. He showed the Board the
Brenner Park different options for the surface for the playground. He explained that the quotes for the
Equipment equipment that were distributed in the packets were for wood chips. There are three options
for the synthetic surface. The first is made right on sight, requires the most maintenance acid is
the most expensive. This type is not recommended. The next type is tiles that are made fr~~m
recycled tires in a factory and put in place. These are easier to maintain and are the least
expensive, however they can get very hot in the sun. The final option is a two layers syste;n
that has recycled tire squares that are put on a base and then a PVC the is put on top. This
helps the surface to stay cooler. The Park Board agreed on this type of surface for the
playground.
Rule asked what the cost of the surface would be.
Fry replied that it would be between $13,000 and $15,000.
Fry handed out books that showed all the playground equipment. He explained that all the
components are interchangeable and come in a variety of colors.
