Title
Fitness Equipment Purchase for 2012
History
In an effort to continually replace aging fitness equipment at the Sportsplex, staff is requesting approval to purchase 3 new Precor Ellipticals, 2 Life Fitness Integrity Treadmills and 4 Life Fitness Integrity Ellipticals. This replacement equipment will increase member satisfaction/retention, assist in attracting new members and reduce the frequency of out-of-service equipment.
This purchase is part of an annual replacement plan to help avoid the need to replace a large volume of equipment at a much higher cost at any one time. At this time staff is requesting approval to waive the bid process and accept the proposals to purchase the equipment directly from the manufacturers.
The first purposed purchase will include (3) Precor EFX 825 P20 Console Ellipticals from Direct Fitness Solutions at a cost of $16,188.00 plus $681.47 for installation, freight and delivery. Additionally this company will accept a trade-in of three Ellipticals and credit us with $1,800.00 bringing the total cost to $15,069.47.
The second purposed purchase will include (2) Life Fitness Integrity Treadmills at a cost of $7,950.00 and (4) Life Fitness Integrity Ellipticals at a cost of $12,900.00 plus $1,824.48 freight and installation bringing a total cost to $22,674.48.
On December 5, 2011, this item was reviewed and approved by the Parks and Recreation Committee and referred to the Board for approval.
Financial Impact
These items are budgeted in the 2012 Budget account number: 283-4007-451-6045 where a total of $38,700.00 has been budgeted for capital purchases. (Equipment)
