Title
Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute an Agreement with Shade Structure, Inc. for the purchase and installation of a shade structure for the Old Settlers Park Adult Recreation Complex Basketball Court 2020 Project.
Body
As part of the second phase of development at the Adult Recreation Complex at Old Settlers Park, a covered basketball court will be installed. Currently, there isn't a basketball court in Old Settlers Park and very few on the west side of the City are open to the public. This amenity will provide ample space for basketball (both free and league play), as well as other sports such as pickelball and futsol. This item will authorize the City to purchase the fabric shade structure to be installed over the basketball court. In the hot Texas sun, courts with shade coverings are much more functional and provide a better experience for patrons.
The Adult Recreation Complex at Old Settlers Park includes two (2) lighted recreational softball fields, a small
restroom facility, spectator seating and shade, flexible field space, and parking. This project replaced the two softball fields currently located in McNeil Park which will be removed as part of the Nutty Brown Development.
Cost: $145,371.00
