Reference: Approving the Procurement of 23-001f Water Tower Park Improvements - Fencing
To: Mayor Gregory Mills and Members of City Council
Through: Michael Martinez, City Manager
Prepared By: Kelsey Archuleta, Procurement & Contracts Manager, and Ryan Smith, Parks Manager
Date Prepared: February 28, 2023
PURPOSE
Requesting City Council’s approval of the procurement of 23-001f Water Tower Park Improvements - Fencing by awarding a contract to Ideal Fencing Corporation, LLC, deemed the most responsive and responsible bidder of the two (2) bids received in response to the posted 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
If City Council approves the conversion of Water Tower Park from natural grass to artificial turf, a perimeter fence will be a necessity to help prevent damage to the artificial turf investment. This site will be surrounded by a six (6) foot fence, just like at our other sports complexes (Brighton Sports Complex, Pawlowski Fields).
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Sufficient appropriation exists for the project.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the request to issue and to award Ideal Fencing Corporation, LLC. as the lowest, most responsive and responsible proposer.
