FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER��
MEETING DATE: MARCH 20, 2018
SUBJECT: APPROVAL FOR THE AWARD OF AN INFORMAL REQUEST
FOR QUOTE TO PURCHASE FERTILIZER
RECOMMENDATION:
City Council to consider approval for the award of an informal request for quote for
fertilizer for the Grapevine Golf Course from Harrell's, LLC.
FUNDING SOURCE:
Funds for this purchase are available in account 210-42205-340-002 (Grounds
Maintenance) in the amount not to exceed $24,045.00.
BACKGROUND:
This purchase is for 27 tons of a 30-0-10 fertilizer for the golf course except for the
greens. This is a season long, slow release type mix and will be applied one time 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.
Quotes were taken in accordance with City Purchasing Policy. Formal bids and
advertisements are not required for purchases under $50,000. Three vendors submitted
quotations. Harrell's, LLC submitted the lowest responsive and responsible quote
meeting specifications.
Harrell's, LLC $27,270.00
BWI Companies, Inc. $32;188.00
Winfield Solutions, LLC $32,365.80
Staff recommends approval.
