Notice of Intent to Utilize Cooperative Contract to Purchase Playground Equipment and Surfacing

The City of Eugene is pursuing a cooperative procurement opportunity for playground equipment and surfacing at Santa Clara Community Park through the National Purchasing Partners Government Division (NPPGov). The procurement will be conducted under Contract PS21070, with Ross Recreation Equipment, Inc. selected as the vendor through an interstate cooperative procurement process facilitated by the League of Oregon Cities. The specific procurement involves the purchase of playground equipment and associated surfacing materials, targeting improvements to the Santa Clara Community Park recreational space. The procurement is open to comments from vendors, with a submission deadline of 3:00 P.M. on Wednesday, December 6, 2023. Jurisdictions involved in this cooperative procurement include the City of Eugene and Lane County, Oregon, with an estimated total procurement value of $699,835. Vendors are invited to provide comments or feedback regarding the intended cooperative contract utilization before the specified deadline.

No specific set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise requirements, or restrictions on responding organizations were explicitly detailed in the provided documentation. The procurement appears to be a standard cooperative contract opportunity without notable vendor qualifications beyond participation in the NPPGov contract mechanism. The contract does not disclose incumbent vendors beyond Ross Recreation Equipment, Inc., nor does it specify existing infrastructure integration requirements. The total estimated procurement amount of $699,835 represents the anticipated budget for playground equipment and surfacing materials. While precise pricing terms, contract duration, and renewal options were not elaborated in the notice, the document indicates a straightforward procurement process leveraging an existing cooperative contract to acquire playground infrastructure for the Santa Clara Community Park.
