Title
Sportsplex Rock Wall Holds
History
The current Sportsplex rock wall holds are 13 years old, worn out, and have been malfunctioning/cracking in recent months. New holds will improve the quality of the wall, as well as the safety of the climbers, and potentially attract more users. The fiscal year 2015 budget includes the funds for the replacement of all the rock wall holds at the Sportsplex climbing wall.
Staff requested quotes for the best package available consisting of 1,500 holds that best fits our climbing wall needs. (See attached.)
Everlast Climbing Industries 1,498 holds for the total price of $8,790.28
Palos Sports 1,490 holds for the total price of $9,080.00
Entre-Prises Climbing Industries 1,500 holds for the total price of $7,098.00
All pricing include, shipping/handling.
Staff recommends accepting the lowest quote from Entre-Prises Climbing Industries. Entre-Prises is a highly recommended supplier and is familiar with the climbing wall at the Sportsplex. The vendor also performs the yearly inspections and has provided excellent service when needed. This purchase will cover the entire circumference of the wall which will fulfill the needs of the wall for another 13 years. Staff examined samples of holds from each company and determined that Entre-Prises was the best quality and proper fit for the Sportsplex climbing wall.
On October 19, 2015, this item was reviewed and approved by the Parks and Recreation Committee, recommended for approval and referred to the Board of Trustees for consideration.
Financial Impact
