Title
Award of Tennis Professional Services for the City of Gainesville (B)
Explanation
The City-owned tennis courts are currently managed under a professional services contract with tennis professional Mike Oransky. Mr. Oransky provides lessons, conducts tournaments, and assists with the oversight of the City's tennis facilities. The current contract for these services expires on October 1, 2005. On June 16, 2005, the City's Purchasing Department, at the request of the Recreation and Parks Department, sent out via Demandstar a solicitation for a new tennis services provider. Eleven potential proposers obtained the Request for Proposals (RFPs) from Demandstar, with one vendor submitting a proposal. The single proposal, submitted by Mike Oransky, Tennis Pro, (the current provider) met the requirements of the RFP.
Under the current tennis provider contract, Mike Oransky pays the City $6,000 per year. Under the new contract, Mr. Oransky will pay the City $15,000 per year. The term of the new contract will be for three years, with the possibility of a two year renewal.
Fiscal Note
The City will receive $15,000 per year from the contract.
Recommendation
The City Commission: 1) approve award of the Tennis Professional Services Contract to Mike Oransky; and 2) authorize the City Manager or designee to execute all contract documents with Mike Oransky for Tennis Professional Services, subject to approval by the City Attorney as to form and legality.
