STRATEGIC OUTCOME:

The motion supports the City Council’s strategic outcomes of Respected and Responsible and Active and Appealing. Awarding this purchase to the three lowest responsible bidders will provide winter landscaping for the City Golf courses, grass in City parks for activities, and ensure the City has utilized funds in a respected and responsible manner.

 

REPORT:

This contract provides for the purchase and delivery of grass seed for use by Parks and Recreation at various City parks, golf courses, and other sports fields.

 

This bid is based on 132,700 pounds of seed. The locations for over-seeding align with the department’s usage patterns. Specifically, seeding will be limited to the tees, greens, and fairways at Desert Hills Golf Course. At the Par 3 Golf Course, seeding will cover the tees, greens, and surrounding areas. Additionally, athletic fields and some open spaces throughout City parks will be over seeded.

 

Bids were received from eight vendors. The two lowest bid responses did not meet the specifications; it is recommended to award the next lowest bidder.
