Title
Centennial Park Aquatic Center - Pool Shade Structure Quote
History
Staff is requesting approval to replace nine (9) Funbrella umbrellas at the pool with new shade structures. The old Funbrellas have significant maintenance issues and the weight and design requires them to be closed during inclement weather throughout the season. Closing the heavy Funbrellas presented challenges and a hazard to staff.
Staff recommends replacement and purchase of shade structures that do not require closure and that match those purchased in prior years. In addition, staff is recommending the purchase of one (1) five-sail shade structure in the concession area to fill the void created by the removal of three (3) larger twenty foot diameter Funbrellas that were decommissioned several years ago due to failure.

This company manufactures the shade structures that the Village has been using at CPAC. The Village selected this product for its durability and low maintenance and staff recommends keeping these units in the parks and pool areas for a consistent look and maintenance.
The quote for the shade structures is as follows:
- Nine (9) SP12 Single post pyramid shade unit by Shade Systems Inc., 12’ x 12’ x 8’ high eave with steel frame and single color fabric, in ground mount, turn-n-slide system on all four corners. Cost: $2335.00 each (x 9=) Total $ 21,015.00

By combining the purchase, the Village will save $1,151.00 on shipping. The single pole units will be purchased for $154.00 less than last year’s cost for similar items.
