This purchase is for 23 tons of a 42-0-0 fertilizer for the entire golf course except for the
greens. This is a season long, slow release type mix and will be applied once, which
replaces the normal practice of applying fertilizer three times per season. The benefits
of using this fertilizer includes providing a steady supply of nutrients to the grass
throughout the season and from an operational standpoint, reduces the labor required to
apply fertilizer from three times to one time per year. This will result in the reduction of
time where portions of the golf course are closed.

agencies will continue to receive deliveries. All vendors have agreed to renew with no
change in pricing schedule.
