Analysis
The Lake Parks Division seeks professional installation of two Yurts for Loyd Park. The Yurts are 24’ in diameter with insulated walls and ceiling. Each Yurt will be fully furnished and have a restroom, kitchen, heating / air conditioning, and a deck. These Yurts come in a ready to assemble kit and two sites have been selected for installation. This is a test of the “Glamping” themed area, and if successful we will be adding more to our inventory.
Assembly and installation will be through Home Depot’s US Communities contract #16154 which was effective February 1, 2017 and will expire December 31, 2026. Furniture and fixtures will be purchased through standard bid laws.
Chapter 271.102 of the Local Government Code authorizes local governments to participate in a cooperative purchasing program with another local government or local cooperative organization. In lieu of competitive bidding, items and services may be purchased through such agreements as the agreements have already been bid by the sponsoring entity or agency. The City of Grand Prairie has master inter-local cooperative agreements with various entities including U.S. Communities.
U.S. Communities is the leading national government purchasing cooperative, providing world class government procurement resources and solutions to local and state government agencies, school district (K-12), higher education institutes, and nonprofits looking for the best overall supplier government pricing.
This item was presented to the Finance and Government Committee on October 13, 2020 for their recommendation and approval.
