Fitness enthusiasts will be happy to hear the City of Mount Pearl has extended its gym equipment maintenance contract with Spartan Fitness for another year.
Councillor Jim Locke, during the February 4 public meeting, explained that for some years now the City has had a preventative maintenance contract with Spartan Fitness and the contract was due to expire April 30.
“There is a provision to extend for another year if agreeable to both parties,” said Locke. “And we talked about this at length at our committee, and these preventative maintenance contracts are working very well for the city. These pieces of equipment that we purchase are not inexpensive, they’re commercial grade, high-quality, and get a lot of use, and we find that these maintenance contracts have extended their life.”
Council voted unanimously to extend the contract for an additional year at a cost of $16,560 HST included.
