BACKGROUND <br /> In 2005, the City awarded an agreement to Lifetime Tennis to operate the tennis <br /> facilities at the City's Tennis and Community Park. Since 2009, under an amendment to <br /> the original agreement, Lifetime Tennis has acted as the City's agent in all matters <br /> related to tennis operations, including activity registration, payment processing and <br /> customer services. <br /> With the agreement with Lifetime Tennis scheduled to end in 2010, City staff circulated <br /> a request for Proposals (RFP) to obtain qualified vendors to manage the tennis <br /> operations and the Tennis and Community Park. A total of three (3) proposals were <br /> received in response to the RFP: <br /> • Lifetime Tennis, Inc. <br /> • Tennis Management Solutions <br /> • Tompkins Tennis, Inc. <br /> To assure a comprehensive review of the proposals, a selection team comprised of staff <br /> from the Community Services Department, one (1) member from the Parks and <br /> Recreation Commission, and two (2) public participants of Tennis and Community Park <br /> programs was formed. As part of its selection process all three (3) vendors were <br /> interviewed and all proposals were reviewed thoroughly. As a result of this process, the <br /> selection team and staff is recommending, awarding an agreement to Lifetime Tennis. <br /> In general, Lifetime Tennis proved to be the most knowledgeable about the City of <br /> Pleasanton with a thorough understanding of the tennis program and the community <br /> needs. Further, since operating the Tennis and Community Park, it has developed a <br /> reputation of providing affordable programs, qualified staff and excellent customer <br /> service. <br /> The recommended term for the Agreement is for five years beginning on January 1, <br /> 2011. Some key points of the Agreement are summarized below: <br /> • Lifetime will assume responsibility for all operations and maintenance of the <br /> tennis facility and programs. <br /> • City will assume responsibility for all park maintenance and related capital <br /> improvements. <br /> • City will assume financial responsibility for all electricity, gas and water usage. <br /> • Lifetime will repair and replace all tennis related equipment including but not <br /> limited to ball machines, court light bulbs, windscreens, nets, etc. <br /> • Lifetime will provide and maintain all office equipment including computers, <br /> printers, copiers and furnishings. <br /> Page 2 of 4 <br />
