SUBJECT:  Purchase of Bleachers for Legacy Park Multipurpose Center

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Authorize the City Manager to acquire the necessary bleachers for the Legacy Park Multipurpose Facility at a cost not to exceed $155,000.

 

Summary

The Legacy Park Multipurpose Facility construction is nearing completion.  There are various owner-direct items that are necessary to acquire in order to complete the facility.  This includes the purchase of bleachers for seating for various activities to take place in the multipurpose courts area.  City staff has evaluated options for seating that will provide the necessary flexibility and capacity for the different types of functions that will take place in the facility.  Staff has performed this assessment in coordination with the City's architect for the project.

 

The bleachers would provide more than 600 seats total and are able to be configured in separate banks of 12 bleachers or in any combination of continuous bleachers, as space allows.  The City would also be able to realize a substantial cost savings with owner-direct purchasing through its sales tax exemption as well as taking advantage of National Joint Powers Alliance contract pricing.
