Parks board awards High Blue flooring contract to SportsPro Surfacing for $49,339
Summary
The board approved SportsPro Surfacing to replace several High Blue interior floors after staff opened four bids; one bidder lacked the required bid bond and staff recommended the lowest responsive bidder.
Kevin, a parks staff member, presented bids for replacement flooring at High Blue and recommended SportsPro Surfacing after the Aug. 18 meeting opened four sealed bids for the kids' corner, aerobics rooms and the TRX room.
Kevin told the board one bid packet was missing a bid bond when the sealed bids were opened. Staff recommended SportsPro Surfacing at $49,339 as the lowest responsive bidder; a board member moved to approve and the motion carried after a second and voice vote.
The nut graf: The board approved a $49,339 contract for new rubber, Ecore and turf surfaces in High Blue's activity rooms; staff said performance and payment bonds will be required for the work and that references were provided for the low bidder.
Details on materials discussed during the presentation included a roughly 10.5-millimeter rubber product for high-traffic areas (referred to by staff as "the beast"), an Ecore graphite surface for multipurpose/aerobics rooms, and a small turf area for the TRX room to accommodate sleds and training activities. Kevin said SportsPro had provided references and that staff had met with the bidder about other projects; Brian added that the vendor was recommended by a regional equipment supplier and has a portfolio of projects.
Board members asked about local experience, bonding and references; staff confirmed performance and payment bonds are required and that references were included in the bid packet. A motion to award the contract to SportsPro Surfacing for $49,339 carried on a voice vote with no recorded opposition.
Ending: Staff will proceed with contract administration, obtain required bonds and schedule installation; the board recorded an approval for work to begin per standard procurement procedures.
