This project continues the implementation of the five-year fitness floor equipment purchase plan. The District’s goal is to trade-in equipment before a significant increase in repairs occur and to remain competitive with other fitness providers by offering the latest in fitness technologies and amenities. As fitness equipment continues to age, it requires more repairs putting it out-of-service longer due to the availability of replacement parts. New equipment also provides updated mechanical technology, modern features, and improved performance, resulting in reduced future maintenance costs. In the 2024 capital budget, staff propose funding the replacement of 15 treadmill machines purchased in 2017. The optimal useful life/best resale value of this equipment is 7 years with a recommended replacement schedule of 5 to 7 years. Repair costs and equipment downtime have increased due to the treadmills current age, and they are the most popular cardio equipment at Courts Plus. Staff estimate saving $3,000 in annual maintenance costs after replacing the treadmills. This project will be funded with Recreation Fund reserves ($126,457).
