Title
Consider Authorizing The City Manager To Enter Into An Agreement With Master Systems Courts, Through TIPS Purchasing Cooperative, For Tennis And Pickleball Court Resurfacing And Repairs In An Amount Not To Exceed $72,176.08.
Body
BACKGROUND:
The growth of tennis and pickleball in our community has pushed Oak Creek Tennis Center to full capacity, making the use of satellite courts essential. To meet the increasing demand, it has become necessary to upgrade the satellite courts to league play quality. Additionally, staff has evaluated underutilized tennis courts for conversion into much-needed pickleball courts.
To meet the community’s needs, staff is requesting approval to resurface and convert two tennis courts into six pickleball courts at W.J. Thomas Park. The work will include painting, installing new nets, fencing, and surface mount posts. Additionally, staff proposes converting two pickleball courts into one tennis court at Martha Pointer Park. These improvements will support the continued growth of both tennis and pickleball in the community.
Master Systems Courts has worked for the city on past projects including Francis Perry and Rhoton Parks, which included conversion of tennis courts to pickleball courts.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Mater Systems Courts is a TIPS vendor. The repairs will be funded by a tennis capital account and maintenance operating fund. A 10% contingency was added.
IMPACT ON COMMUNITY SUSTAINABILITY:
These improvements will allow staff to allocate resources for optimal results.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION/ACTION DESIRED:
Staff recommends Council authorize a contract with Master Systems Courts for renovations to tennis and pickleball courts in an amount not to exceed $72,176.08
