Title
Centennial Park Aquatic Center 2014 - Lifeguard Licensing
History
In preparation of the upcoming pool season, a license must be purchased for each Centennial Park Aquatic Center (CPAC) lifeguard. These licenses, known as CAP Packs, are provided by Starfish Aquatics.
Starfish Aquatics is the agency which certifies our managers, squad leaders, and team leaders to teach and certify our lifeguards. Starfish Aquatics is regarded as the gold standard in the industry and enables the CPAC staff to provide a safe and responsive environment to CPAC patrons.
CAP Packs are $30 each and are sold in quantities of 12 for $360. CPAC employs 162 guard staff. To meet the required number of licenses needed, 14 packages at $360 each are required for a total of 168 CAP Packs. The total purchase will be $5,040. Staff is requesting approval for purchase.
On January 20, 2014, this item was reviewed by the Parks and Recreation Committee, recommended for approval and referred to the Village Board of Trustees for consideration.
Financial Impact
The cost for this service is included in the budget account 283-4005-429200.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve the purchase of CAP Packs (lifeguard licenses) from Starfish Aquatics Institute at a cost not to exceed $5,040.00
