The contract is for the purchase of playground engineered fibar mulch from EZ Mulch Inc. The mulch is specifically designed for playgrounds and provides a springy surface to cushion falls. The contract is valued at $6,273 and was awarded non-competitively due to the vendor's unique ability to provide both the mulch and blown installation. The contract duration is 26 days, starting from January 3, 2022, and ending on January 29, 2022. Key features of the contract include:
• The mulch is designed to allow rainwater to pass through, making it suitable for playgrounds.
• The blown installation method is cleaner and more efficient than traditional mulch installation.
• The vendor is located in the Tampa Bay Area, making them a convenient choice for the Pinellas County Parks and Conservation Resources department.
