SUBJECT: Intergovernmental Cooperative Purchase (INTG-20-0050) Playground Equipment
for Parks and Facilities
PRESENTATION DATE: November 3, 2020
PRESENTATION BY: Brandi Naugle, CPPB Buyer, Purchasing Department and Andrew
Eshleman, Director of Public Works.
RECOMMENDATION: Move to authorize, by Resolution the Parks and Facilities to purchase
playground equipment from Playground Specialist, Inc. of Thurmont, MD and to utilize the
Houston-Galveston Area Council (HGAC) contract No. PR11-20 for the total sum amount of
$148,680.58.
REPORT-IN-BRIEF: Section 106.3 of the Public Local Laws of Washington County grants
authorization for the County to procure goods or services under contracts entered into by other
government entities. On items over $50,000, a determination to allow or participate in an
intergovernmental cooperative purchasing arrangement shall be by Resolution and shall indicate
that the participation will provide cost benefits to the county or result in administrative efficiencies
and savings or provide other justification for the arrangement.
Acquisition of the equipment by utilizing the Houston-Galveston Area Council (HGAC) contract
and eliminating our County’s bid process would result in administrative efficiencies for the Parks
and Facilities as well as overall better pricing due to economies of scale offered by the subject
contract. The Houston-Galveston Area Council (HGAC) contract is a nationwide strategic
sourcing program designed by public purchasing professionals for use by government agencies
and public-benefit non-profits throughout the country. The County would be purchasing new
playground equipment to replace the playground equipment at Marty Snook Park.
DISSCUSION: N/A
FISCAL IMPACT: Funds are budgeted in the department’s Capital Improvement Plan (CIP)
account REC037. Project funding source: 90% Project Open Space (POS) monies and 10% local
match.
CONCURRENCES: N/A
ALTERNATIVES: 1) Do not award the purchase of the playground equipment and process our
own bid for the equipment in which pricing would not be favorable, or (2) utilize the Houston-
Galveston Area Council (HGAC) contract which does offer better pricing than processing a single
bid through our bidding process because of the economies of scale.

Open Session Item
SUBJECT: Restaurant Relief Grant Program and remaining CARES Act Funding
PRESENTATION DATE: Tuesday, November 3, 2020
PRESENTATION BY: Susan Small, Director of Business Development
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to approve the acceptance of $1,352, 231 of grant funds from
the Maryland Department of Business Management through the Department of Commerce for the
provision of a restaurant relief grant program in Washington County
REPORT-IN-BRIEF: Maryland is launching a new $50 million grant program to provide direct relief
to restaurants across the State. These grants can be used for working capital, such as rent, payroll, and
job training, purchase of equipment and services to expand outdoor dining, such as tents, heaters,
warmers, and carts, infrastructure improvements, such as HVAC system upgrades, technology to support
carryout and delivery, purchase of PPE and disposable food containers or utensils, sanitation services,
and any other costs that are permitted under a COVID-19 restaurant assistance program that your
jurisdiction may already be operating.
These funds will be allocated to local jurisdictions in the form of a grant from the state and must be
disbursed to businesses by no later than December 31, 2020. The state will provide clear guidelines that
jurisdictions must follow to disburse the funds. Additionally, the $50 million in funds will be distributed
proportionally based on the number of restaurant establishments located in each jurisdiction. Based on
our current data, we expect Washington County’s share of the $50 million to be $1,352,231.
Additionally, the Department of Business Development has approximately $800,000 left in CARES Act
Rise Up Business Stabilization fund. We would like to disburse the remaining amount evenly to
previously awarded businesses. Which is approximately $1,057 per business.
DISCUSSION: Washington County Department of Business Development will be utilizing the
previous Rise Up Grant guidelines as a basis for the new Restaurant Relief Grant Program. A new
application must be filled out and submitted for review and approval by each restaurant, although the
required accompanying documentation has been simplified. If a restaurant has applied to the Rise Up
Grant and received an award, they are entitled to apply for this as well. With a maximum of $20,000 for
each grant, on a first come, first serve basis, we hope to assist the restaurant community in Washington
County as swiftly as possible. The deadline for applications will be December 18
th
, 2020.
