Title
Homer Industries Invoices
History
The Parks department utilizes Homer Industries to provide mulch and Nature’s Blanket which is the playground safety surfacing (meets ASTM standards). The majority of the purchasing of this material is conducted during our peak summer months while the department has seasonal staff to assist with the installation of the material. Material is delivered in bulk by the semi load and installed at park sites.
Each park, depending on the size, will be approximately $1,400 per semi load.
As a result, the total cost of the product has gone above $5,000 and therefore, is required to have board approval. The current amount due is $13,612.50. There are several more deliveries scheduled prior to the end of the year. Staff is requesting board approval to pay the current invoices and to pay any additional invoices submitted.
Staff will be going out to bid for this service in FY17.
On September 19, 2016, this item was reviewed by the Parks & Recreation Committee, recommended for approval, and referred to the Village Board of Trustees for consideration.
