MEMO TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER V02—
MEETING DATE: JANUARY 15, 2013
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION FOR THE PURCHASE OF
FITNESS EQUIPMENT
RECOMMENDATION:
City Council to consider approval of a resolution for the purchase of fitness equipment
from FITCO for the Community Activities Center through an Interlocal Participation
Agreement with The Local Government Purchasing Cooperative (BuyBoard).
FUNDING SOURCE:
Funding for this purchase is currently available in account 174- 74015 -069 (Street
Maintenance /Capital ReplacementlFitness Equipment Replacement) for the amount not to
exceed $37,840.05.
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 FITCO. Parks and
Recreation staff 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. The Cooperative Purchasing Agreement satisfies all bidding
requirements under the Texas Local Government Code.
Each year the Community Activities Center replaces one third of the cardiovascular
equipment in the CAC fitness room. This allows the CAC to keep all of its cardiovascular
equipment under warranty and provide its members with the most up -to -date equipment
on the market. It also helps to drastically reduce the CAC maintenance budget as
commercial cardiovascular equipment only has a three year life expectancy in a high traffic
environment.
Staff recommends approval.
