SUBJECT: APPROVAL FOR THE EMERGENCY PURCHASE, REPAIR AND

PARK
RECOMMENDATION: City Council to consider approving and ratifying the emergency purchase
repair and replacement of safety netting and poles at Oak Grove Park
from America's Nationwide Netting, Inc. for the Parks and Recreation

FUNDING SOURCE: Funds are available in the Recreation Facilities Maintenance budget for a

BACKGROUND: This purchase is for the removal and replacement of four backstop net
poles located on two baseball fields at the Oak Grove Baseball Complex.
These poles were damaged by the recent snow storm and freezing
temperatures and therefore are needing to be removed and replaced to
allow games and practices to safely resume at these fields.
This purchase will be made in accordance with an existing interlocal
agreement as allowed by Texas Local Government Code, Chapter 271
and Texas Government Code, Chapter 791.
An emergency purchase order was issued to America's Nationwide
Netting, Inc. for the repair, purchase and replacement of safety netting
and poles at Oak Grove Park on February 19, 2021.
The City's Risk Management department has submitted an insurance
claim for this project to Travelers, and if approved, the City would receive
the full $40,000 for removal and replacement.
Staff recommends approval.
