Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to modify an existing Universal Term Contract (UTC) for the option to obtain sporting goods and recreational supplies with Varsity Brands Holding Co. dba BSN Sports, LLC. This contract provides for Softball, Soccer, Basketball and other recreational equipment and supplies used to keep City Recreational Centers offering activities to youth and adults without interruption. This modification allows the purchase of additional items from BNS Sports Equipment Catalog and The US Games Catalog offered in the original solicitation.
The original legislation to enter into the contract with Varisty Brands Hilding Co. dba BSN Sports, LLC did not authorize the award of a catalog which was included in the original solicitation. The contract, PO111593 was established in accordance with Request for Quotation RFQ007706 and will expire March 31, 2020.
No additional funds are necessary to modify the option contract as requested. The original legislation and award failed to include all the items offered by the vendor. This modification seeks approval of the entire offered catalogs.
EMERGENCY DESIGNATION: The Finance and Management Department respectfully requests this legislation be considered an emergency because this contract is necessary for the upcoming sport seasons.
FISCAL IMPACT: No funding is required to modify the option contract. The Department of Recreation and Parks must set aside their own funding for their estimated expenditures.
