PURPOSE
Requesting City Council's approval for the procurement of 23-008375 v2 Brighton Recreation Center Water Slide Demolition, Design, and Installation by awarding a contract to Progressive Commercial Aquatics, Inc, deemed the most responsive and responsible bidder of the two (2) bids received in response to the published solicitation, and approving the resolution giving the City Manager, or designee, authority to sign the contract. Per City Code Section 3-8-30(b): "All materials, services, and construction contracts, except as otherwise provided in this Article, with an estimated cost greater than one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000.00), shall be awarded through the formal solicitation procedure or the formal RFP process by the City Council. After due notice inviting bids, purchase orders and contracts shall be awarded to the lowest, responsive, and responsible bidder."
BACKGROUND
The waterslide at the Brighton Recreation Center was closed as a result of significant corrosion to all steel elements of the structure. The project was awarded to Recreation by Lemmie Jones in February of 2024, but during contract negotiations, the vendor was unwilling to agree to our terms. The new slide will be designed to mimic the current waterslide as closely as possible, while meeting updated code requirements. The project will include an electronic scan, design approval, fabrication, demolition and installation of a new body flume water slide.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Sufficient appropriation exists for the project.
