FUNDING SOURCE: Funding for this purchase is currently available in account 121-48840-312-12-000016 (Council Quality of Life Fund/Buildings/Parks and Recreation 2012 Projects) in the amount not to exceed $43,998.74. BACKGROUND: This purchase will be made in accordance with an existing Cooperative Agreement with the State of Texas TXMAS Purchasing program as allowed by Texas Local Government Code, Section 271.082 and 271.083, State Cooperative Purchasing Program. The proposed restroom facility for Pickering Park was one of the projects the Council discussed at the March 6, 2012 workshop on Quality of Life expenditures. A restroom at Pickering Park would be a great amenity for the park as there is a nice group picnic pavilion in the park and the park is also the host of youth baseball and soccer practices. The park also has a nice loop hike and bike trail. The Council Facilities Committee has selected split face block as the exterior finish for the restroom facility. The color of the split face block will match the color of the rock columns of the picnic pavilion in the park. The color of the roof of the restroom facility will be dark green to match the color of the pavilion roof. Bids were taken by the Cooperative and a contract was awarded to CXT Precast Products under contract TXMAS-5-560100. Parks and Recreation staff reviewed the 312812012 1:33:04 PM 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. The Cooperative Purchasing Agreement satisfies all bidding requirements under the Texas Local Government Code. Staff recommends approval. GR 3/28/2012 1:33:04 PM RESOLUTION NO.
