Title
Consider Approval Of Repair And Resurfacing Of Pickleball Courts With Master Systems Courts Through An Inter-Local Agreement With Texas Interlocal Purchasing System (TIPS) In An Amount Not To Exceed $243,435.50.
Body
BACKGROUND:
Currently, all pickleball net posts at the satellite courts are surface-mounted. Due to recurring repairs and the added stress and tension caused by improper use of the nets, staff recommends installing a sleeve-mounted post system to provide greater stability and long-term durability.
This project also includes resurfacing improvements at Rhoton Park. Specifically:
• Rhoton Park will receive two (2) sets of sleeve-mounted pickleball posts, one (1) run divider, and resurfacing of the pickleball and soccer courts.
• Francis Perry Park will receive two (2) sets of sleeve-mounted pickleball posts and one (1) run divider.
• Thomas Park will receive six (6) sets of sleeve-mounted pickleball posts and three (3) run dividers.
In addition, Master Systems has previously been contracted to install windscreens at Martha Pointer Park, Croft Park, Woodlake Park, Branch Hollow Park, and Oak Creek Tennis Center for a total amount of $97,280.00.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The repairs and installation will be funded out of the Parks Amenity Fund. A 10% contingency was added.
Master Systems is part of the Texas Interlocal Purchasing System (TIPS).
IMPACT ON COMMUNITY SUSTAINABILITY:
This project supports community sustainability by extending the life of existing amenities. These upgrades reduce recurring maintenance needs, minimize material waste from repeated repairs, and help control long-term operating costs. By improving safety, playability, and reliability, the City preserves and maximizes the use of current assets, encourages ongoing outdoor recreation and active lifestyles, and strengthens equitable access to quality amenities for residents.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION/ACTION DESIRED:
Staff recommends approval to repair and resurface pickleball courts with Master Systems Courts through TIPS in an amount not to exceed $243,435.50.
