Explanation
Background: This ordinance will establish an Auditor’s Certificate for the expenditure of $3,600.00 for the purchase of equipment for the Sports Section of the Recreation and Parks Department. As a result of RP036714, SO051273, and BE022160, administered by the Purchasing Office on behalf of Recreation and Parks, this ordinance will authorize the expenditure of $3,600.00 for the purchase of the following equipment:
One (1) athletic field laser system.
The purchase of this system will allow the Sports Section to plot out athletic field boundaries for multiple sports in a more efficient manner, greatly reducing the time it takes for athletic fields to be prepared for use.
Emergency Justification: It is necessary to initiate the purchase order immediately as bidders are only required to hold their quoted prices for 45 days and this will ensure the funding is in place to meet this deadline.
Fiscal Impact: $3,600.00 is required and budgeted in the Recreation and Parks Permanent Improvement Fund 747 to meet the financial obligations of this expenditure.
