FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
MEETING DATE: NOVEMBER 2, 2021
SUBJECT: APPROVAL FOR THE PURCHASE AND INSTALLATION OF
SYNTHETIC GRASS
RECOMMENDATION: City Council to consider approval for the purchase and installation of
synthetic grass from Synthetic Grass Pros for the Parks and Recreation
Department.
FUNDING SOURCE: Funds are available in the Capital Projects Open Space Fund and the
Capital Replacement Fund for an amount not to exceed $113,826.
BACKGROUND: This purchase is for synthetic grass for Casey's Clubhouse at Dove Park
and at Oak Grove Baseball by the restroom at Field I. Casey's Clubhouse
surfacing was installed in 2012. The average life span is eight years, and
due to extensive use, the surfacing has reached end of life. The synthetic
turf will give Casey's Clubhouse a fresh new look.
This purchase will be made in accordance with an existing interlocal
agreement with The Local Government Purchasing Cooperative
(BuyBoard) as allowed by Texas Local Government Code, Chapter 271
and Texas Government Code, Chapter 791.
Bids were taken by the Cooperative and a contract was awarded to
Synthetic Grass Pros. The Parks and Recreation and Purchasing staff
reviewed the contract for departmental specification compliance and
pricing and determined that the contract would best meet the needs of the
City.
Staff recommends approval.
