FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER i 1
MEETING DATE: AUGUST 4, 2015
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION FOR THE PURCHASE OF
SPORTS FIELD LIGHTING
RECOMMENDATION:
Consider a resolution authorizing the purchase of sports field lighting to the field at The
REC 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 Quality of Life Fund not to exceed
$184,777.
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.
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 to the field that is currently being installed at The
REC of Grapevine. The old Community Activities Center practice soccer field had lights
and the plan was to install lights in the future. Due to the flood, all lighted soccer fields
in the City will be unplayable this Fall and likely next Spring. Therefore, we have
accelerated this project to have a synthetic field with lights available as soon as possible
which will help with games and practices for the youth soccer program in Grapevine.
Staff recommends approval.
