Title
Fitness Equipment Upgrade Purchase
History
As the department continually replaces and updates aging fitness equipment as approved in the FY13 budget, staff is requesting approval to purchase attachable TVs for the cardio equipment as follows:
Six attachable TVs for Life Fitness ellipticals from Life Fitness, five attachable TVs for Precor ellipticals, and two attachable TVs for Precor AMTs.
The purchase of this proposed equipment allows members to only need their ear buds and plug them into the consoles on the machines. They will have TV screens directly in front of them with access to 28 channels. The purchase of this state of the art equipment helps keep the Sportsplex relevant in this competitive market, and will increase member satisfaction/retention, and assist in attracting new members.
At this time, staff is requesting approval to waive the bid process and accept the proposals to purchase the equipment directly from the manufacturers and their authorized dealer exclusive to provide a seamless look and feel.
· The first proposed purchase will include (6) attachable TVs for Life Fitness ellipticals from Life Fitness for a total cost of $6,198.
· The second proposed purchase will include (5) attachable TVs for Precor ellipticals from Direct Fitness Solutions for a total cost of $6,695.
· The third proposed purchase will include (2) attachable TVs for Precor AMT’s also from Direct Fitness Solutions for a total cost of $2,678.
On July 1, 2013, this item was reviewed by the Parks and Recreation Committee, recommended for approval and referred to the Village Board of Trustees for consideration.
