Title
Consider Approval Of Outdoor Fitness Equipment By Greenfields Outdoor Fitness Through An Inter-Local Agreement With BuyBoard In An Amount Not To Exceed $292,038.41.
Body
BACKGROUND:
The Parks and Recreation Department requested funds for an outdoor fitness area in the FY24 budget. In evaluating the location, staff selected a central location with parking, restrooms nearby, and close to our trail system. This outdoor unit will have shade, twelve pieces of fitness equipment, two benches, and signage. Access to an outdoor fitness app is also an additional feature residents will enjoy. Adding a free outdoor area where the community can use the equipment year-round will be a healthy benefit for all ages.
This project was approved by council for the FY24 budget and includes the cost for the fitness equipment, poured-in-place surface, shade, shipping, and installation. A 10% contingency has been included in the budget.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Greenfields Outdoor Fitness is a reputable company that provides quality products. The fitness equipment and installation will be funded out of the following account:
