From; Nicholas Caggiano Superintendent Parks and Recreation
Subject; Integration Carousel Sole Source Purchase
The justification for the sole source purchase of the carousel is based on the input from the Legacy
Playground Group. The selected carousel was also recommended by Jennifer Brooke of the Institute for
Human Centered Design, as well as The Chamber of Commerce Chamber Leadership Group. The
carousel will be the focal point of the new Legacy Playground and will be a first in NH.
Goric Marketing Group USA, Inc. is the sole distributer for the carousel. The pricing for the structure
includes a 10 % municipal discount. The purchased structure has a 16-20 week lead time which will
require that the base be installed ahead of time. The playground construction has started and is
scheduled for completion in early September.
| would request that the City consider Goric Marketing Group USA, Inc. of Belmont, MA as a sole source
vendor for this item.
