SUBJECT: AUTHORIZATION TO USE NATIONAL PURCHASING PARTNERS FOR
THE FRONTIER PARK WATER PLAY RECIRCULATION SYSTEM
(CIP NO. 20076)
SUMMARY:
Approval of resolution 15-71 will authorize the City of Tustin to contract for the purchase
and installation of a recirculation system for the Frontier Park water play area utilizing
the National Purchasing Partners (NPP) cooperative purchasing program.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Staff recommends that City Council approve Resolution 15-71, authorizing the
use of the National Purchasing Partners (NPP) cooperative purchasing program
to contract for the purchase and installation of a recirculation system for the
water play area at Frontier Park.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The water play recirculation system at Frontier Park is included in the 2015-2016 Capital
Improvement Program. A portion of the funding ($260,700) will come from a Housing and
Community Development grant and the balance will be taken from the Park Development
fund. The estimate for this project is $352,161. Using NPP to contract for this project will
provide a 5% savings on the recirculation equipment as well as the installation.
CORRELATION TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN:
This project advances Goal A of the City of Tustin Strategic Plan regarding Economic and
Neighborhood Development by making improvements to existing parks to expand
recreational activities.
BACKGROUND:
In April 2014, a new water play element at Frontier Park was constructed using
equipment from Vortex Aquatic Play Solutions. In July 2014, due to the state drought
conditions, the decision was made to cease operating the water play element. It was
decided at that time to pursue the installation of a retrofit recirculation system that would
treat the water used in the system so it could be safely recycled.
NPP uses a Lead Public Agency to publicly solicit and award competitively bid contracts
through a Request for Proposal process. The Lead Agency for the contract with Vortex
is the League of Oregon Cities. This contract allows for the purchase and installation of
the recirculation system equipment at a 5% cost savings for each and there are no fees
or agreements associated with the program.
Staff is recommending the use of NPP to secure the recirculation system equipment and
installation due to the time constraints of the grant funds as well as the specialized nature
of the work required for this project. The Housing and Community Development (HCD)
grant funding ($260,700) for this project must be requested by April 30, 2016, and used
by June 30, 2016. Utilizing the NPP program will expedite the purchasing process so that
these timelines can be met.
The technical nature of the recirculation system and the need to make sure it is operating
correctly to treat the water are both important aspects of the project. The NPP process
will also ensure that Vortex compatible equipment and a Vortex certified installer can be
used which will allow for a quicker installation and safer end result.
This project was identified by the Community Services Commission as the next to be
completed on their seven-year Capital Improvement Project Priority List.
