CITY OF CORTEZ
123 ROGER SMITH AVENUE
CORTEZ, CO 81321
April 12, 2022
Agenda Item: 7.a.
MEMO TO:
Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM:
Creighton Wright, Director of Parks and Recreation
SUBJECT:
Award a sole source contract to CEM Sales and Service to replace the Splash Pad Controller on the Cortez Outdoor Municipal Pool
BACKGROUND
The Splash Pad at the Cortez Outdoor Municipal Pool provides a non-traditional pool experience, especially for young children. It has several dumping buckets and ground-mounted spray features that allow children to experience the cooling water without the concern of drowning. It is a popular feature of the Outdoor Pool.
The Splash Pad Controller stopped working two years ago. Staff inspected the system and found the controller shorted out and was corroded. Without the controller, the Splash Pad cannot work.
The replacement of the controller is budgeted in the Aquatics Budget (001-4551-451-45-02) for $14,000. The small amount of overage can be absorbed within the line item.
ISSUES
CEM Sales and Service is the original manufacturer's local sales and repair vendor. They supplied the original controller and completed the initial calibration of the controller and water feature valves. CEM is intimately familiar with the intricacies of our splash pad, how it is designed, how it operates, and its operating standards. Because of CEM's unique experience with our system, staff requests to direct contract with CEM as a sole source vendor. CEM has reviewed and accepted the construction contract terms. The CEM proposal is included in Attachment 1. Staff reviewed their bid and feels it was reasonable and responsible.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends awarding a sole source contract to CEM Sales and Service to replace the Splash Pad Controller on the Cortez Outdoor Municipal Pool in the amount of $14,754.
