FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
MEETING DATE: MARCH 7, 2023
SUBJECT: PURCHASE OF REPLACEMENT ARTIFICIAL TURF FIELD
RECOMMENDATION: City Council to consider approval for the purchase of artificial turf field
replacement from KYA Services for the Parks and Recreation Department.
FUNDING SOURCE: Funds are available in the Capital Replacement Fund for a total amount
not to exceed $283,304.
BACKGROUND: The REC turf field is an extremely popular field for soccer, flag football,
lacrosse, fitness classes, and ultimate frisbee play. In addition, the field is
open to the community for free -play at all non-scheduled times of the day.
The REC turf field has been operating at maximum capacity for the past
seven years and is due for replacement. PARD planned on placing this
project in the FY24 budget, however, due to the significant wear that has
occurred in the past nine months, the surface is becoming unsafe for play
and is in need of replacement now. This purchase is for replacement and
installation of the base and surface of The REC turf field.
This purchase will be made in accordance with existing interlocal
agreement with The Local Government Purchasing Cooperative (Buy
Board) as allowed by Texas Local Government Code, Section 271 and
Texas Government Code, Chapter 791.
Bids were taken by the Cooperative and a contract was awarded to KYA
Services. The Parks and Purchasing staff reviewed the contract for
departmental specification compliance and pricing and determined that
the contract would provide the best service and pricing for meeting the
needs of the City.
Staff recommends approval
