Title
Consider Approval Of Contract Services For The Carrollton Rosemeade Recreation Center From Ponder Company, Inc. In An Amount Not To Exceed $80,973.20.

The current floor is a rubber floor which has become worn and does not have any sort of shock absorption pad. Over the last several months, staff has noted the concrete floor underneath has cracked and is uneven.

Ponder Company, INC, a BuyBoard company, was selected for their previous work and quality of product. Farmers Branch Recreation Center has had their floor for 12 years with no resurfacing needed. Their floor is multi-use similar to ours at Rosemeade Recreation Center. Dallas ISD uses this floor in all of the Elementary schools with success.

A 10% contingency was added to all quotes.
