Subject: Authorization to Purchase a Decorative Fountain for Lake Bennet
Background Summary:
As part of the CRA Beautification Program along the SR 50 corridor, $45,000 has been included for a lighted
decorative fountain in this year's capital budget. Staff has researched many fountains in the area and
consulted with various fabricators. Fountain Design Group has been the City's main provider for fountain
maintenance and is the industry leader for custom fountains of the size and type needed for this installation.
As a result of our contacts with this company, the City has been offered the opportunity to purchase a custom
15 HP fountain with added jets and lights that had been ordered and then cancelled by a large south Florida
developer. As a result, the City will receive a discount of approximately $4,000.00 for a fountain that matches
our needs perfectly. Due to the need to properly locate the unit near the middle of Lake Bennet, the quote
includes the cost of upgraded copper wire to efficiently power the fountain. The cost also includes the control
panel for the fountain and electrical hook -up. However, the CRA will incur an additional cost to have our own
electrician provide a meter pedestal and disconnect to service the unit.
Issue:
Should the City Commission authorize the City Manager to approve the purchase of a decorative fountain for
Lake Bennet?
Recommendations:
Staff respectfully recommends that the Mayor and City Commissioners authorize the City Manager to approve
the single source purchase of a Libra 1500 Floating Fountain for $41,092 per the attached quote from Fountain
Design Group.
