Following the approval, a deposit o <br />$47,554.44 was paid. Subsequently, the project was put on hold and ultimately cancelled due to <br />additional project expenses that were not approved by the City Commission. Other, more urgent <br />needs have been identified and therefore we are requesting approval to utilize those approved funds <br />for the following projects: <br />• Samson Park Playground Surfacing — This playground equipment is being replaced under warrant) <br />and new surfacing will be needed once that is completed. <br />• Pelican Park interactive Play Area — this new interactive play area currently has playground mulch <br />which creates maintenance issues as well as discomfort for users. <br />• Senator Gwen Margolis field perimeter — for maintenance purposes and to provide more viewing <br />areas for the spectators at soccer games, artificial turf will replace the shrubs that had little <br />survivability and restricted view corridors during games. <br />ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: <br />As the original agreement expired without completing the work, we are entering into a new <br />agreement for the same, previously approved amount of $104,477.12.
