Explanation:
The Department of Parks, Recreation and Cultural Arts (“PRCA”) recommends the purchase and installation of fitness equipment to replace an item at Charnow’s Park fitness zone and multiple pieces along the Broadwalk to promote the City’s strategic focus area of Quality of Life and Strong Neighborhoods.
The desired fitness equipment was competitively bid by Manatee County School District through Solicitation No. 21-0053-MR on July 22, 2020 and awarded to Bliss Products and Services, Inc. under Contract of Award Agreement No 21-0053-MR; and they agreed to extend to the City the same pricing under the terms and conditions set forth in the Contract.
On November 7, 2024, the City Manager approved CM Memo No. PR-25-029, authorizing the purchase of a shelter for Rainbow Tot Lot Park for $39,928.00, which caused the amount being paid to Bliss to exceed $100,000.00 for Fiscal Year 2025, and therefore, City Commission approval is required for the payment of additional fees to Bliss.
The Director of the PRCA and Chief Procurement Officer recommend that the City Commission approve and authorize the execution of a Purchase Order to Bliss for the purchase and installation of fitness equipment in an amount up to $62,176.00.
Fiscal Impact:
Funding for this Purchase Order was included in the amended FY 2025 Capital Improvement Plan and is available in account numbers 334.309901.57200.564531.001766.000.000 and 334.309901.57200.564530.001767.000.000.
