Selma BID approves order for new downtown benches from Kings River Casting
Summary
After discussing styles, warranties and siting, the board approved a sole-source order from Kings River Casting for replacement benches (quote requested for 11 benches); staff said delivery would take 6–9 weeks and Public Works would handle installation and maintenance.
The board voted to proceed with ordering replacement benches from Kings River Casting following staff presentation of the company's estimate and product options. Staff (speaker 2) said Kings River Casting is the vendor that supplied the BID's existing benches and that Public Works is familiar with their parts, which supported a sole-source approach. The staff estimate covered replacing the current benches (seven) and adding up to four more for high-demand locations; staff requested a quote for 11 benches and said standard lead time is six to nine weeks.
Board members discussed bench materials and maintenance. Staff showed the proposed powder-coated metal benches, which match the BID's proposed trash-can style, and said the vendor can add a center arm to discourage overnight sleeping. Board members asked about warranties and touch-up procedures; staff said they would confirm warranty terms and Public Works maintenance responsibilities.
A motion to approve the Kings River Casting estimate (estimate number 2837) for the bench purchase was moved (motion recorded as moved by Rose Robertson and seconded by Daniel) and carried by voice vote with no recorded 'No' votes. The transcript records the motion and a voice vote but does not list individual recorded tallies.
Next steps: staff will confirm final pricing, warranty terms and installation schedule, place the order (pending purchase procedures), and coordinate installation with Public Works. Delivery was estimated at six to nine weeks from order placement.
