Title
Centennial Water Park Concession Furniture Purchase
History
In order to continue to present a functional and aesthetic environment at the Centennial Water Park, staff has solicited bids to replace the portable tables and plastic chairs in the concessions area. The replacement of this furniture will be a multi-year process aimed at replacing all of the old, worn-out tables and chairs in the concession area, including the grassy area.
Quotes were submitted by: Barco Products, Belson Outdoors and Upbeat Site Furnishings. See attached quotes.
Staff recommends the purchase of nine 46” round picnic tables and one 46” rectangular ADA table be made by Upbeat Site Furnishings for a total purchase price of $8,869.66. While this bid is $1,253.22 more than the lowest bidder, the warranty of these tables is superior to its competitors. The life expectancy of the Upbeat products is expected to be much longer than the lowest bidder.
Upbeat tables are covered by a seven year surface warranty and 20 year structural warranty. The coating process is a patented process referred to as a Fusion Coating. In this process, the table top and seats are coated with a minimum ¼” plastisol coating. The surface warranty warrants this product against rust, fading, peeling, chipping, cracking, mold and mildew. Both Belson & Barco products carry just a one year warranty.
On April 1, 2013, this item was reviewed by the Parks & Recreation Committee, recommended for approval and referred to the Village Board of Trustees for consideration.
Financial Impact
Account 283-4005-460180 has $13,000.00 budgeted for concession table replacement purchases in FY13.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve the purchase of nine 46" round picnic tables and one 46" rectangular ADA picnic table from Upbeat Site Furnishings, including shipping, for a total cost of $8,869.66.
