Committee weighs tennis-court mat vs resurfacing after conflicting quotes
Summary
Members compared a rubberized "mat" option (reported about $70,000) and a conventional resurfacing quote of $39,008.59, noting the mat may last longer but only one mat vendor quote had been located; staff were asked to obtain additional estimates.
Committee members compared two approaches to fixing the town’s tennis courts: installing a rubberized mat system or performing traditional resurfacing.
One committee member said a mat option had been quoted informally "like $70,000" while another provided a resurfacing estimate of $39,008.59. Members noted that the mat option likely lasts longer but that the pricier figure appeared to be from a single vendor and that more competitive quotes were needed. "The quote I have, the best 1 I have was $39,008.59," a committee member said when discussing resurfacing alternatives.
The committee asked staff and members to gather at least one additional vendor estimate for both resurfacing and mat options, to clarify product lifespans and warranties, and to report back with written proposals. Court Project LLC was mentioned as the source for at least one resurfacing proposal; the committee did not record a formal procurement vote during this meeting.
