Analysis
The EPIC is a dynamic lifestyle center with unique leisure service components, including a room dedicated for pre-school age children to play and recreate while their parents and guardians utilize the Center's many programs and facilities. This room will offer both an indoor playground and play space but also a secured outdoor playground accessed from the Children's room.
Staff reviewed Request for Qualifications in September of 2015 for development of the children's play space. GameTime was selected as the finalist, based on their unique playground design and project experience. GameTime has submitted a proposal through BuyBoard, in the amount of $436,637.76 for the project. Staff recommends a 3.06% contingency in the amount of $13,362.
Chapter 791 of the Texas Government code, also known as the Interlocal Cooperation Contracts Act, authorizes all local governments to contract with each other to perform governmental functions or services including administrative functions normally associated with the operations of government such as purchasing of necessary equipment supplies and services.
