7.N. Sole Source Purchase ofSport Court Response 6.0 Floor - Sport Court. Ina The Board reviewed a Memorandum of July 26, 2000: To: Board of County Commissioners j� Noo From: Patricia Callahan, Recreation Re: Sole Source Purchase of a Sport Court Response 6.0 Floor Date: July 26, 2000 DESCRIPTION The Recreation Youth Basketball Program has grown to over 900 participants, ages 4 to 15. The program has been held in countywide school gymnasiums. The availability of these gyms has decreased yearly as the school system now has a growing basketball program for junior high school boys and girls. The Recreation Department needs a gymnasium. Due to monies pledged for other recreation facilities, the prospect of a gymnasium in the next 10 to 15 years is not in the picture. Staff has met with Jim Romanek, of Parks, seeking a solution. Installation of portable sport flooring in the new Ag Expo Center at the Fairgrounds is a workable option for all users. Staff researched thoroughly all flooring available and found only one company that manufactures the exact flooring for our needs. In seeking a comparable state contract, we found the City of Deland had purchased this sport flooring but through a dealer at a much higher cost. We would be purchasing directly from the manufacturer. The request is to grant staff the authorization to purchase Sport Court Response 6.0 Floor from the sole source vendor, Sport Court. The cost is $37,578.20 delivered and installed. Please see attachment for specifications. This is a most cost effective solution to building a gymnasium by utilizing county facilities already available. FUNDING The funding would come form account 315-210-572-066.51. RECOMMENDATION Staff is requesting permission to sole source -the Sport Court Response 6.0 Floor at a cost of $37,578.2D.- August 37,578.2 August 1, 2000 40 6K 1 14 PG 380
