Analysis
Parks, Arts, and Recreation Department reviewed a priority needs list for improvements and repairs needed at Park Venue facilities. Improvements recommended for funding are in outdoor pools, recreation centers, The Summit, and the Veteran's Event Center. A breakdown of the budget and planned expenditures are as follows:
The Summit:
Shower fixture replacement/repairs, locker improvements, and a new paging system for a proposed budget of $80,000.
Outdoor Pools:
McFalls and Bowles Pools replastering through DCC under a BuyBoard Contract in an amount not to exceed $115,000; and $17,000 proposed for all new outdoor furniture replacement.
Infrastructure Improvements:
Veteran's Event Center blinds, flooring and furniture replacement for a proposed budget of $23,000;
Tony Shotwell Life Center gym door replacement for a proposed budget of $10,000;
Charley Taylor Recreation Center blind replacement for a proposed budget of $15,000.
The proposed pool replastering projects at both McFalls and Bowles, in an amount not to exceed $115,000, is available through an agreement on Buyboard contract 533-17. 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 Buyboard.
An existing price agreement with Home Depot, for minor improvement projects, is expected to be used for The Summit shower fixtures, Veteran's Center Event blind and flooring replacement, Tony Shotwell Life Center Gym Door, and Charley Taylor Recreation Center blinds. Other improvements which include The Summit paging system and locker room improvements, Veteran's Event Center furniture replacement, and outdoor pool furniture replacement will be done through established bid process(es) accordingly. Any required council action as a result of the bids received for the improvements, will be brought forward at a future council date.
This item was presented to the Finance and Government Committee on January 7, 2020 for their recommendation to the City Council.
