VIA: Stan Morris, City Manager
FROM: Gayle Vasile, Cultural & Community Services Director
DATE: October 20, 2022
RE: Ratifying an Agreement with ForeverLawn for Artificial Turf at the Dog Party

RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of this Resolution.
REASONS:
The Bone Zone, our leash -free dog park located at Senator Gwen Margolis Park, continuously require!
sod replacement to maintain it as a quality facility. This is due to the large shade trees and plenty of
dog activity. In addition to the expense, this creates a great inconvenience to our dog park users
when it must remain closed during the restoration process.
The Cultural and Community Services Department budgeted for, and City Commission approved, tc
replace the natural sod with artificial turf last fiscal year to resolve this issue with a long-term solution
and ultimate cost savings. To ensure that we proceeded with the best solution for our exact situation,
a recommended product and installation was finalized in September 2022 to utilize the budgeted
funds. We recommend a ratification of the attached agreement with Forever Lawn North Miami in an
amount of $95,108.88, plus a 10% contingency for a not to exceed contract amount $104,619.76 for
purchase and installation of the artificial turf lawn at the Bone Zone at Senator Gwen Margolis Park.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
This Agreement is entered into through a piggyback of a Sourcewell contract which includes a 10%
discount from original pricing. The product is an artificial turf designed specifically for dog parks
named K9 Classic+.
