BACKGROUND: This purchase is for synthetic grass to go in the all-weather paddock at

highly requested items in the dog park public input sessions that were
held. The all-weather paddock with synthetic grass will have the ability to
stay open during many weather related events that will require closure of
the other paddocks. The all-weather paddock is located on the northeast
corner of the dog park with easy access from the parking lot and is located
near the large covered pavilion, dog spray pad, and restroom facilities.
The approximate size of the synthetic grass area is 16,000 square feet.
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.
