AGENDA TITLE: Purchase of Basketball Backboards ($12,991.72)
MEETING DATE: October 15, 1997
PREPARED BY: Parks and Recreation Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That City Council adopt the attached resolution authorizing the purchase of the
above items from Tomark Sports, of Corona, in the amount of $12,991.72 and
appropriate funds in accordance with the recommendation below.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: This set of portable backboards is to replace two heavy iron backstops in
use since at least 1951. While the iron backstops have served the
basketball programs for years, they require at least 10 workers to install
and remove.
The new portable units are easier to move, requiring only two or three workers to set up, and they incorporate safety
features not found on the older backstops. Some of the new features (in addition to transportability) include greater
clearance from backboard to base, better shock absorption, breakaway rims, and better operator control over
backboard height adjustments.
Specifications for this project were approved on September 17, 1997. The city received the following four bids for
the project:
