Title
Centennial Park Aquatic Center - Lifeguard Staff Uniforms & Equipment
History
In preparation for the 2009 pool season, staff is in need of ordering lifeguard uniforms and equipment. Due to limited vendors that carry the needed supplies, staff is requesting approval to waive the bid process for the purchase of uniforms and equipment and accept the lowest quotes for supplies needed.
Requests for proposals were sought for 9 different types of lifeguard uniforms/supply items. Five (5) companies provided proposals. After review of the proposals, staff recommends accepting the lowest quote for each item as follows:
Kieffer Swim Shop for items #1, #2, and #3 (female swimsuits, male swim trunks, board shorts), and also items #5 (whistles), #7 (seal easy kits), and #9 (dive ring sets) for a total cost of $10,019.25 plus shipping.
The Lifeguard Store for items #4 (hip packs), #6 (break-away lanyards), and #8 (cut-a-way rescue tubes) at a total cost of $2,100.00 plus shipping.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION PREVIOUSLY PROVIDED AS PART OF COMMITTEE PACKET.
This item was reviewed and approved by the Recreation Committee and referred to the Board for approval.
Financial Impact
These items have been budgeted for and costs will come out of the $25,000.00 budget from account 283-4005-451-6050 (uniforms & equipment).
