FUNDING SOURCE: Funds are available in the Permanent Capital/Street Maintenance Fund in an amount not to exceed $40,303. BACKGROUND: This purchase is for the replacement of the existing floor surfacing at the Parr Park Sprayground. The current surfacing has exceeded its expected service life and shows significant wear and deterioration from years of use and exposure to the elements. These conditions create potential safety concerns and increase the likelihood of further deterioration if not addressed. Replacing the surfacing will restore a safe and durable play area for patrons and provide improved resistance to wear, water exposure, and heavy foot traffic. The new surface will help ensure the spray ground remains a safe and enjoyable amenity for the community while also reducing ongoing maintenance needs. This purchase will be made in accordance with an existing interlocal agreement with The Local Government Purchasing Cooperative (Buy Board) 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 PDG Industries. The Parks 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 KH/LW
