Explanation
This ordinance authorizes the Director of the Recreation and Parks Department to enter into contract with Floor Care Concepts LLC for the restoration and refinishing of wood flooring at CRPD facilities.
Background: This ordinance is for the restoration and refinishing of wood flooring at Brentnell Community Center, Carriage Place Community Center, Dodge Community Center, Howard Community Center, Thompson Community Center, and Whetstone Community Center.
The work for these locations will include the sanding of the surfaces to bare wood to receive new finish, addition of CRPD logo at center court of the floors, and addition of athletic lines for various activities. This is the final year of a multi-year capital restoration program aimed to improve the quality of the gym floor playing surface and extend the useful life of CRPD capital assets.
The costs for this project will be $72.850.00 with a contingency of $2,000.00 for a total of $74,850.00.
Bids were advertised through Vendor Services, in accordance with City Code Section 329, on January 3, 2020 and received by the Recreation and Parks Department on January 23, 2020. Bids were received from the following companies:
Company Status Amount
Floor Care Concepts LLC (MAJ) $72,850.00
All-Star Sports Flooring LLC (MAJ) $73,794.56
Traditional Hardwood Floors LLC (MAJ) $73,850.00

Emergency Justification: Due to program scheduling and activities in the affected community centers, facility down time in March 2020 provides the best opportunity to have the work performed with the least amount of disruption to programs, activities, staff, and citizens.
Benefits to the Public: With this project, the department will complete a multi-year capital improvement program to correct safety concerns and improve the overall quality of the playing surface in all of the department’s community centers. Additionally, the capital program will extend the useful life of the gym floors which will delay significant capital investment to replace a floor determined to be at the end of its useful life.
Community Input/Issues: Department staff have received numerous requests to have substandard playing surfaces addressed. Additionally, department staff have received many compliments at facilities where flooring work has already been performed.
Area(s) Affected:
Brentnell Community Center (49 - North Central)
Carriage Place Community Center (34 - Northwest)
Dodge Community Center (54 - Franklinton)
Howard Community Center (41 - Northeast)
Thompson Community Center (46 - Victorian Village)
Whetstone Community Center (39 - Clintonville)
Master Plan Relation: The multi-year capital improvement program for gym floor refinishing established a standard level of quality for the wood playing surfaces in the department’s community centers, expanded programs and activities that can be offered in the community centers, and increased revenue generating opportunities with youth sports leagues.
Fiscal Impact: An existing Auditor’s Certificate will be used to find this contract. ACPR001333 was established by ordinance 2816-2018 for community recreation facility improvements and will be used for this project.
