FROM THE CITY MANAGE" OFFICE 1/6/82 SUBJECT: ADOPTION OF SPECIFICATIONS FOR PORTABLE BASKETBALL FLOOR AND STANDARDS The above request is for adoption of specifications for the purpose of obtaining a new portable basketball floor and portable basketball standards to be used and stored in the Lodi Grape Festival Building. This request is for a new floor, not a replacement of the floor that is now in the Festival Pavilion; it is in addition to the existing floor. The dimensions of the floor are 104' x 701. The City of Lodi Recreation and Parks Dept. leases the Festival facilities, two buildings, for the following programs: basketball for adults and youth, Tiny Tots, archery, rifle range, and dog training. In the past the City Recreation and Parks Dept. has also used high school facilities in addition to the pavilion for basket- ball and volleyball for both adults and youth. Since the advent of the girls sports programs in the high schools, school facilities have not been as readily available for City programs. As a matter of fact, with the possible advent of year-round schools, facilities at the schools may not be available at all. With the addition of the new floor, Which can be put down adjoining the present floor due to the space available in the pavilion, the Department would in essence have another gym facility. Further, because the floor is so designed, we will be able to accommodate three (3) volleyball courts in addition to a regulation basketball floor, plus two (2) cross -court basketball floors for youth programs. This will allow the Department to accommodate more teams in both basketball and volleyball for many years to come and also allow scheduling in an uninterrupted manner. under the present usage, many times after the Department has scheduledgames on school facilities, we are preempted for little or no reason, causing inconvenience to the participants and embarrassment to the Department. It should be pointed out that since we will be using the pavilion to a greater extent, our rent for its use will be increased ;he present estimate is an additional $2,500 more than the $7,500 we are now paying. This amount will be offset, however, by the custodial fees that normally would be paid to the high school, as well as through increased fees and charges, which, when spread out over all basketball and volleyball teams, would be very little increase for individual Learns. It should be pointed out that at present the Lodi Recreation and Parks Dept. pays the Festival $7,500 a year rent for the use of the two buildings and the grounds. Because of increased usage - 1 - �;s�,ffee, . �_, _. ... •r .-.s �.._ ;... _.. ._ _. - i�11.9'mei'S+�wswM..-J.+acN'413%iAkWMPh1iT.aya�ivwt� - y!W%YFM??WvtUdRlYGv14-��•9i'. .... _ ; _ _ _ e e COUIIC I L COMMUNICATION ( Cont ' d ) RE: SPECS FOR PORTABLE BASKETBALL FLOOR AND STANDARDS the rent is expected to be increased to $10,000. In return the Festival Association not only allows the Department usage of the facilities, but picks up the cost for all utilities and mainten— ance. The estimate for the new floor and basketball standards is set at $78,000.00, delivered to Lodi. NOTE: Every effort has been made to allow all eligible bidders to bid on this equipment. No one has been speced out other than synthetic floors.
