With moving parts, weaknesses in the fabrication can occur if <br />equipment is not used correctly, such as moving a piece beyond the normal range of motion <br />or using the equipment in a manner for which it is not intended. Because of the equipment’s <br />placement in an open environment that lacked any security, it was imperative to the City that <br />the equipment should be strong and durable. <br />TriActive America’s headquarters are in California; its equipment is manufactured in the USA. <br />TriActive’s equipment allows for a full range of motion without hydraulic catch points; it uses <br />no electricity; and is virtually maintenance free. TriActive chose the City as a test ground for <br />new equipment innovations, which ultimately benefits the City and park users through access <br />to cutting-edge outdoor and open exercise equipment. <br />Current Agency Policies <br />The City has sole source arrangements with Denalect Alarm Company for fire alarm and life <br />safety services; with Pivot Furniture for the assembly of the City’s Herman Miller modular <br />furniture; with AllDura for ‘Microgard’ anti-graffiti coating; and with Johnson Controls for <br />building management systems located in several City facilities. The City is permitted by State <br />law to sole source a particular material, product, thing or service under California Public <br />Contract Code section 3400, and by Section 1-6-315 of the San Leandro Municipal Code. By <br />the proposed action, the City Council will make the findings necessary to establish a sole <br />source supplier, which will be described in future invitations for bids or requests for proposals <br />for play structure procurements. <br />Fiscal Impacts <br />Finding Tri-Active America as a sole source supplier for parks exercise equipment in and of <br />itself has no fiscal impacts. Moving forward, as new playgrounds are developed or existing <br />playgrounds renovated, having a single outdoor exercise equipment manufacturer will make <br />maintenance more efficient, especially in terms of parts availability. TriActive has a proven <br />track record of equipment durability and good warranty and customer service from the vendor. <br />ATTACHMENT(S) <br />None. <br />PREPARED BY: Debbie Pollart, Director, Public Works Department <br />Page 2 City of San Leandro Printed on 7/14/2015
