STAFF REPORT <br />TO:Mayor Keis and Members of the City Council <br />FROM:Bryce Shearen, CPRP, Parks & Recreation/Community Services Manager <br />DATE:October 28, 2020 <br />RE:Pioneer Park Basketball Court Update <br />ACTION REQUESTED <br />Motion to approve the replacement of the two Pioneer Park Basketball Standards by C&C Courts <br />INC for $6,100.00. <br />BACKGROUND: <br />The existing basketball standards are in need of an upgrade at Pioneer Park to better meet the <br />needs of the community using the basketball courts. This item was not included in the City of <br />Little Canada’s 5-year Capital Improvement Plan, however the Little Canada Recreation <br />Association (LCRA) has agreed to fund all costs related to this improvement. New features that <br />are included in the estimates are: <br />NBA & NCAA Regulation Size Backboard – 72”x42” <br />Tempered Glass <br />Adjustable Height <br />Padded Pole and Backboard Frame <br />Commercial-Grade <br />Staff has also considered long-term plans related to the location of the basketball court in Pioneer <br />Park. In the event it is determined that the basketball court should be moved or reoriented <br />through the Pioneer Park planning process, the new basketball standards can be unbolted at the <br />base and transferred to a new location with new footings. Moving forward with the proposed <br />improvement now will enable us to provide the public with socially-distanced recreational <br />opportunities as we navigate the COVID-19 pandemic. <br />Three companies were contacted for the replacement of two basketball standards that fit the <br />above criteria - <br />C&C Courts INC - $6,100.00 <br />Minnesota/Wisconsin Playground – $6,187.90 (price did not include footing installation) <br />Flagship Recreation – $13,254.00 <br />(City staff will saw cut and remove the existing standards) <br />PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION
