CITY OF
PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT
TO: Mayor and City Commission
FROM: Richard D. Sala, City Manager
BY: Michael Sargis, Parks and
Recreation Director
DATE: October 25, 2007
SUBJECT: Purchase of Water Splash Play Equipment
In May 2007, the Commission authorized the City Manager to enter into an agreement with Aquatic Technologies for the design and engineering phase of the Water Splash Play Equipment. In order to purchase appropriate equipment at a reasonable cost, Aquatic Technologies distributed six (6) “Request for Quotes” to various vendors. As a result, four (4) quotes were received. In addition, the engineers designed the water feature in such a way that it is able to accommodate components from various vendors. This will assure the fact that we do not over pay for various splash pad components by dealing with only one vendor.
VENDORS SENT BIDS
TO:
As Aquatic Technologies is one of the leaders in designing Aquatic Facilities, including Splash Play Areas, their review of the quotes helped staff determine which components to purchase.
During the July Commission
meeting, staff reported that the cost of this structure would not exceed
$60,000. After a careful review by both
Aquatic Technologies and City Staff, we have settled on purchasing components
from two manufactures for a total amount of $48,198.00 – Water Odyssey
($33,870.00) out of
While all the vendors who submitted quotes are quality vendors, it is our determination that the various components being ordered from the two vendors outlined above are the best based on the overall product price, product history, as well as the warranty they offer.
With the approval of the Commission tonight, we will order the equipment so that the Splash Area can be opened along with the pool re-opening on March 1, 2008.
