March 11, 2024    Approved by: Reece Bertholf, City Manager  Originating Department: Parks & Recreation  By: Aaron Thelen, Recreation Supervisor and   Susan Rader, Director  Agenda Title  Resolution authorizing the appropriation of funds in the amount of $40,318.40 for the purchase of outdoor  fitness equipment (Improvement Project No. 1109)  Requested Action  Staff requests that the City Council approve a resolution authorizing the purchase and installation of seven  units of outdoor fitness equipment from Greenfields Outdoor Fitness, Inc. for $40,318.40 (improvement  project no. 1109).  Policy/Past Practice  The city develops a ten‐year capital improvement program (CIP) for capital equipment, facility  improvements, and infrastructure projects. Each year the CIP is reviewed, updated, and extended for another  ten‐year period. The addition of outdoor fitness equipment is included in the 2024 budget.  Background  New Hope does not currently have any outdoor fitness equipment in its park system and staff believes the  addition of equipment will add another unique amenity to New Hope. Staff identified Northwood Park  along the trail loop near the playground as the ideal location for the equipment.     The seven green and tan units of equipment will be spread out along the trail loop on four concrete pads, so  three pads will have two units and one pad will have one unit. The specific locations on the trail were kept in  mind not to affect future electrical work as trail lights are currently listed in the 2025 CIP.      Since the units will be spread out along the trail this gives participants the ability to use the equipment and  then walk along the trail to use the next station creating additional activity. Walking, strength training and  exercise is a lifelong activity that can be used by anyone of all ages, abilities, accessibility, and skill level. One  of New Hope’s primary goals is to enhance the quality of life in the community, and we believe adding this  outdoor fitness equipment for participants to use for free will help add to this goal.      The fitness equipment package includes seven units of equipment: 4‐Person Pendulum Abs & Dip Station; 2‐ Person Back & Arms Combo; 2‐Person Accessible Chest Press; 2‐Person Combo Lat Pull & Vertical Press; 3‐ Person Static Combo; Rowing Machine; 4‐Person Leg Press; and a customized announcement sign. While  incorporating seven units of equipment, the outdoor fitness equipment can accommodate 18 people at a time,  covers all major muscle groups, and some equipment is also handicap accessible.    Greenfields Outdoor Fitness has an excellent reputation and is extremely well‐known in the field of outdoor  fitness equipment. Their equipment has a safe and durable design, which are built to suppress their warranty  under normal usage. It is weather resistant and can be used in hot and cold climates, as well as dry and  humid conditions. The units are designed to have little or no maintenance.    Agenda Section Development &  Planning Item Number  8.1    Request for Action, Page 2       Staff is recommending the approval of the quote from Greenfields Outdoor Fitness, Inc. for $40,318.40, which
