Award of Agreement to Shade Structure Inc. dba USA Shade for the Public Facility Renovation Silverset Shade Area Utilizing Sourcewell Cooperative Purchasing Program Contract No. 010521-LTS-6
The approved Fiscal Year (FY) 2023-24 Operating Budget and Capital Improvement Program includes funding for the Public Facility Renovation Silverset Shade Area to remove the sand area and install a shade structure. The City of Poway (City) participates in and is a member of several cooperative purchasing organizations, including Sourcewell, formally known as National Joint Powers Alliance (NJPA), which establishes and provides nationwide competitively solicited purchasing contracts to be utilized by member agencies. Through Sourcewell Contract No. 010521-LTS-6, Shade Structure Inc. dba USA Shade (USA Shade) presented optimal pricing for the Public Facility Renovation Silverset Shade Area in the total amount of $88,346.10.
Recommended Action:
It is recommended the City Council award the Agreement for the Public Facility Renovation Silverset Shade Area to Shade Structure Inc. dba USA Shade in the amount of $88,346.10 and authorize the City Manager to execute any necessary documents.
Discussion:
As part of the annual budget process, funds are allocated for capital projects through the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for investment in City infrastructure, including City facilities. During the FY 2023-24 budget process, funds were allocated for the Public Facility Renovation Silverset Shade Area (MN050). Silverset Park is a community park offering a range of outdoor amenities, including a full basketball court, ball field, and two separate playgrounds. Adjacent to the playground is a sand area that has caused maintenance issues. This project will consist of the removal of the sand area replacing it with a large shade structure intended to accommodate picnic tables and provide a significant amount of shade for park patrons. Through the annual budget process, the City is working to incrementally add larger shade structures at other parks around the City. Once the Agreement is 1 of30
September 17, 2024, Item #7
signed, the estimated construction timeline is 20 working days. Effort will be made to minimize community impact.
The City is an active participant in several cooperative purchasing organizations, including Sourcewell.
All agreements offered through Sourcewell have been awarded via a thorough Request for Bid (RFB) competitive solicitation program by a public agency/government entity (e.g., state, city, county, public university or school district). The program provides a streamlined and effective procurement option by establishing agreements with manufacturers and suppliers currently on an existing multiple award schedule with a competitive procurement procedure. Section 3.28.110 of the Poway Municipal Code permits the use of cooperative purchasing programs for procurement of supplies, services, and equipment when the administering agency has made their purchase in a competitive manner.
Sourcewell has provided optimal pricing from USA Shade for Public Facility Renovation Silverset Shade Area. Based on the received quote and the scope of work required, USA Shade's pricing is deemed fair and reasonable, and the company is qualified to undertake the project.
The quote for USA Shade is as follows:

We have assumed one mobilization for the installation of foundations, steel and fabric; if additional mobilizations are required, there will be an additional charge. We will require exclusive access to the area for our work during the construction process. 3) Our pricing does not include daily site delays accessing the work areas. USA SHADE will submit a Change Order for any delays caused by other trades which interfere or cause us to stop working.
4) We will require site sanitary facilities and refuse containers by others within 200 feet of our work.
5) USA SHADE will leave its work and materials in a clean condition at the conclusion of our work. 6) Barricades and public security requirements are not included. 7) Unless specifically included in this proposal, this agreement does not include, and Company will not provide, services, labor, or materials for any of the following work: (a) removal and disposal of any materials containing asbestos or any hazardous materials as defined by the EPA; (b) moving Owner's property around the installation site; (c) repair or replacement of any Purchaser or Owner-supplied materials; or (d) repair of damage to existing surfaces that may occur when construction equipment and vehicles are being used in the normal course of construction.
8) Pricing for foundation design is based on drilled pier footings. In the event the geotechnical report requires an alternate configuration, any additional costs incurred will be submitted to the client by a Change Order.
9) Digging of our foundations will not be constrained by any existing concrete or utilities. USA SHADE will not be responsible for moving or repairing any underground utility lines such as electrical, telephone, gas, water, or sprinkler lines that may be encountered during installation. 10) Any additional costs incurred as a result of hard rock conditions requiring extra equipment, utility removal or repair, resulting in delay, will result in additional charges unless they are detailed on as-built site drawings provided to USA SHADE or marked on the ground and communicated to USA SHADE in writing prior to installation. www.usa-shade.com 800-966-5005

12) Concealed Conditions: "Concealed conditions" include, without limitation, water, gas, sprinkler, electrical and sewage lines, post tension cables, and steel rebar. This agreement is based solely on observations the Company was able to make either by visual inspection or by drawings and/or plans submitted by Owner at the time this agreement was bid. If additional Concealed Conditions are discovered once work has commenced, which were not visible at the time this proposal was bid, Company will stop work and indicate these unforeseen Concealed Conditions to Purchaser or Owner so that Purchaser and Company can execute a Change Order for any additional work.

Costs for footing and installation do not include any allowance for extending below frost lines (the additional costs for which vary by geographical region) 13) Changes in the Work: During the course of this project, Purchaser may order changes in the work (both additions and deletions).

The cost of these changes will be determined by the Company, and a Change Order form must be completed and signed by both the Purchaser and the Company, which will detail the "General Scope of the Change Order". Should any Change Order be essential to the completion of the project, and the Purchaser refuses to authorize such Change Order, then Company will be deemed to have performed its part of the project, and the project and services will be terminated. Upon such termination, Company will submit a final billing to Purchaser for payment, less a labor allowance for work not performed but including additional charges incurred due to the stoppage. No credit will be allowed for materials sold and supplied, which will remain the property of the Purchaser. www.usa-shade.com 800-966-5005
