MEETING DATE: JANUARY 6, 2015
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION FOR THE PURCHASE OF
SPORTS FIELD LIGHTING
RECOMMENDATION:
City Council to consider approval of a resolution for the purchase of sports field lighting
from Musco Sports Lighting, LLC through an Interlocal Participation Agreement with The
Local Government Purchasing Cooperative (Buyboard).
FUNDING SOURCE:
Funding for this purchase is currently available in the PCMF account 174-74015-312-

account 114-44686-312-2-002 for an amount not to exceed $346,321.00.
BACKGROUND:
This purchase will be made in accordance with an existing Interlocal Participation
Agreement with The Local Government Purchasing Cooperative (Buyboard) as allowed
by Texas Local Government Code, Section 271.102, Cooperative Purchasing Program.
Bids were taken by the Cooperative and a contract was awarded to Musco Sports
Lighting, LLC. The Parks & Recreation Department staff and Purchasing reviewed the
contract for specification compliance and pricing and determined that the contract would
provide the best product and pricing for meeting the needs of the City.
This purchase adds sports lighting at Bear Creek Park Baseball/Softball Fields 1 & 2 and
batting cages. This need was originally identified in the Parks & Recreation Master Plan
approved by City Council in May 2011. This project has also been determined to be a
high priority project for the Grapevine Baseball and Softball Association (GBSA). GBSA
has already contributed $30,000 towards the light purchase and has invested over
$100,000 in improvements at Bear Creek Park. The project was presented to the Parks
& Recreation Advisory Board at the November 20, 2014. The board approved 7-0 for
the sports lighting at Bear Creek Park.
