BACKGROUND:
The Recreation and Parks Department maintains athletic courts in community and neighborhood parks around the city. These courts provide opportunities for residents to participate in team and individual court sports. To prolong the life of the courts and provide a safe, quality playing surface, athletic courts require resurfacing on a five-year schedule.
After a competitive bid process, City Council approved the award of Contract No. REC/220823 to Sports Surface Pros, LLC, for athletic court resurfacing services, for an initial four-year term, from March 22, 2023, through March 21, 2027. It includes one optional one-year renewal term. Compensation is based on the unit prices set forth in the contract.
FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS:
The balance of work to be completed on this contract totals $47,600 and includes:
* Jervey Gantt Park tennis ($18,000), basketball ($11,000) and racquetball ($600) courts
* Clyatt Park tennis courts ($18,000)
Since awarding the original contract, the City has eliminated tennis courts at the MLK Recreation Complex and racquetball courts at Fisher Park, resulting in $12,600 in savings on the contract. All other work will have been completed, and all funds will have been expended as originally contemplated under the contract.
In Fiscal Year 2025-26, City Council authorized the construction of six new pickleball courts, four at Jervey Gantt Park and two at Clyatt Park. As part of this project, the courts need to be surfaced and lined. The quoted price for this work is $43,200.
