Title
Consider Approval For The Purchase Of One Shade Structure For Rosemeade Dog Park Through An Inter-Local Agreement With BuyBoard In An Amount Not To Exceed $19,838.00.
Body
BACKGROUND:
The Parks and Recreation Department is currently designing the first of two dog parks. The first dog park will be constructed at Rosemeade Recreation Center. In the design, a 40' x 40' concrete pad has been centrally located within the dog park between both the big dog and little dog sections. A six-foot vinyl coated fence will run down the middle of the concrete pad to separate big dogs and little dogs between their respective sections. This area will serve as a place for dog owners and their canine companions to congregate. Picnic tables will be provided in both sections. To offer some relief from the Texas sun, one 40' x 40' 4-post shade structure will be installed that will span over the concrete pad.
We are seeking council approval since this purchase is the second in a series of purchases for shade within The Parks and Recreation Department, which puts us over the $25,000.00 purchasing threshold in a fiscal year.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The shade for the Rosemeade Dog Park will be funded out of the following account.
