Title
Fitness Equipment - Purchase
History
In an effort to ensure fitness equipment at the Sportsplex is useable and current, staff is requesting approval to purchase six new indoor cycle bikes and three new treadmills. This replacement equipment will increase member satisfaction/retention and assist in attracting new members.
Most of the cardio equipment the Sportsplex owns is seven years old and has undergone numerous repairs and is in need of replacement. Staff is proposing to begin a yearly replacement cycle to avoid the need to replace a large volume of equipment at a much higher cost.
At this time, staff is requesting approval to purchase six spin cycles directly from the manufacturer (Keiser) at a cost of $7,729.73 which includes freight; and purchase 3 treadmills from Life Fitness at a cost of $15,000.00 plus freight and installation (total price of treadmills $15,982.32).
