BACKGROUND
On July 13, 2021, the City Council awarded a contract to Landscape Structures, Inc., for the
design and construction of the City of Santa Clarita's (City) second inclusive play area at West
Creek Park. This project exemplifies the City's commitment to improving the quality of life of
its residents and supports the Building and Creating Community theme of the City's five-year
strategic plan, Santa Clarita 2025. Additionally, it is a focus area identified in the Parks and
Recreation Five -Year Plan to maximize accessibility by offering inclusive play elements and
design principles for people of all ages and abilities.
The West Creek Park inclusive play area will provide elements that welcome children and adults
of all abilities to interact, play, learn, and grow together. This project will offer a balance of play
experiences that promote integrated play for residents of all abilities and further develop
physical, cognitive, sensory, communication, and social skills.

The public engagement process for this project included two public meetings, a presentation to
the Parks, Recreation, and Community Services Commission, and an opportunity for the public
to call or email City staff with comments or questions on the project. The public meetings
allowed attendees the opportunity to learn about the project, review the preliminary and revised
designs, discuss the project with City staff and consultants, vote on play elements, and express
their thoughts and ideas.
Based on the input received, staff identified additional features that would enhance the inclusive
play area, increasing the cost of the project by $670,274. These features include a dual -track
inclusive zipline, a friendship swing, an enhanced play area for children ages 2-5, music and
sensory -friendly play elements, a shaded eight -station outdoor community fitness area, and a 13-
station inclusive Bankshot Playcourt.
While a separate competitive process would be the standard approach for the significant
augmentation of scope to any public project, there would be no benefit in doing so in this design -
build situation, since the play structure project was awarded to one company that designs and
builds the project based on their proprietary equipment. As the designer, manufacturer, and
installer of the original equipment, Landscape Structures, Inc., is the only contractor that would
be capable of completing the additional scope of work in a manner that adheres and conforms to
the original design and installation.
Upon completion, this project will replace the existing 5,200-square-foot play areas with new
inclusive play areas that measure approximately 15,800 square feet. Inclusive playgrounds
provide meaningful play experiences, and this project will provide an enjoyable outdoor play
environment that provides physical and social inclusion for people of all ages and abilities.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
Other action as determined by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
Upon approval of the recommended actions, adequate funds will be available in project
expenditure account P4023203-516101 (Community Development Block Grant Fund) to support
the recommended contract.
