Title
Consider Authorizing The City Manager To Enter Into An Agreement With Sunbelt Pools, Through BuyBoard, For The Purchase Of Two Sand Filters For Rosemeade Rainforest Lazy River In An Amount Not To Exceed $92,250.60.
Body
BACKGROUND:
The Rosemeade Rainforest has two sand filters that service the 36,400 gallon 200’ lazy river. These sand filters were originally installed when the facility opened in 2007 and have exceeded their life span. Both filters will be converted to the new Neptune-Benson sand filters which are consistent with the filters we have been installing throughout our aquatics system. These filters are more efficient and easier to backwash.
This project includes the removal of the old sand filters, the purchase of two new sand filters and installation. A 10% contingency has been included in the budget.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Sunbelt Pools is a reputable company that provides a quality product and has completed projects for the City of Carrollton in the past. The sand filter replacement and installation will be funded out of the following account:
ACCTG UNIT ACCOUNT BUDGET AMOUNT
854360 Lazy River Sand Filters $92.250.60
IMPACT ON COMMUNITY SUSTAINABILITY:
This project supports and aligns with Council goals and objectives through the fiduciary care and maintenance of our infrastructure.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION/ACTION DESIRED:
Staff recommends approval to replace the Rosemeade Rainforest lazy river sand filters from Sunbelt Pools in an amount not to exceed $92,250.60 using the City’s existing agreement with BuyBoard.
