RE: Standardization Purchase Victor Stanley Benches and Tables for William Waters
Plaza ($25,371.00)
The Great Neighborhoods Program provides residents the opportunity to originate projects that
enhance quality of life through strategic improvements to the public realm. Projects are intended
to improve the image, market, and physical conditions of Oshkosh neighborhoods. Staff provided
recognized neighborhood associations and groups pursuing healthy neighborhoods the
opportunity to apply for funding to support capital improvement projects within their
neighborhoods. In 2016, Common Council approved the funding request for the implementation
of William Waters Plaza Redesign plans in the amount of $85,550 (Res 16-364). The project is
underway in conjunction with the Washington Avenue reconstruction.
The plans indicate the use of three tables with chess boards and four benches to be used throughout
the plaza. Upon request, Victor Stanley has removed the cost of freight offering a savings of
$1,600.00. The total fiscal impact of these new benches and tables will be $25,371.00. The equipment
will be purchased utilizing Great Neighborhoods Program Capital Improvement Funds.
Section 12-11 of the Municipal Code provides that subject to approval of the City Manager,
purchases may be made without following a formal competitive bidding process when
standardization or compatibility is the overriding consideration. In accordance with Section 12-
11 of the Municipal Code and with approval by the City Manager, Parks and Community
Development recommends this purchase of benches and tables from Victor Stanley for William
Waters Plaza in the amount of $25,371.
