Title
Installation Quote for Water Play Unit at Centennial Park Aquatic Center
History
The Village received a proposal from Kompan, Inc., a supply partner with U.S. Communities Government Purchasing Alliance (a purchasing coop that the Village is a member of) for the installation of the Centennial Park water play unit. Kompan, Inc. is a company that is a qualified contactor through the U.S. Communities Government Purchasing Alliance to contract without bidding. Their proposal is $48,055.75 for the installation. Subsequently, a proposal was submitted by George's Landscaping Inc. (GLI) for the installation at a cost of $37,935. GLI is a qualified installer for Waterplay Solutions play units. GLI has installed many play units for the Village and we have been very satisfied with their performance. Staff recommends waiving the bids and contracting with GLI.
This agenda item is being considered by the Parks & Recreation Committee and the Village Board of Trustees on the same night to allow for installation this fall. The fall installation will ensure readiness for painting of the zero-depth pool in the spring. The unit is expected to be delivered this week.
Financial Impact
The funds for this project will come from the Pool Capital account 283-4005-470800, $180,000 budgeted. The cost of the water play unit was $149,129.25 with installation cost at $37,935. The additional funds needed are available in the Pool account 283-4005-443150.
