FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
MEETING DATE: APRIL 3, 2018
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION FOR THE PURCHASE OF AN
IRRIGATION SYSTEM UPGRADE FOR THE GRAPEVINE GOLF
COURSE
RECOMMENDATION:
City Council to consider a resolution authorizing the purchase of an irrigation system
upgrade for the Grapevine Golf Course from Professional Turf Products, L.P.
FUNDING SOURCE:
Funds for this purchase are available in account 210-48860-340-002 (Machinery and
Equipment) for a total amount not to exceed $49,975.
BACKGROUND:
This purchase is to update and upgrade our present control system for the golf course
irrigation system which is 20 years old, obsolete, and cannot be updated without changing
the entire control system. The new system will allow us to water more precisely and be
more efficient with our water.
Bids were taken by the Cooperative and a contract was awarded to Professional Turf
Products, L.P. The Golf department and Purchasing staff reviewed the contract for
departmental specification compliance and pricing and determined that the contract would
provide the best service and pricing for meeting the needs of the City.
This purchase will be made in accordance with an existing interlocal agreement with The
Local Government Purchasing Cooperative (BuyBoard) as allowed by Texas Local
Government Code, Section 271 and Texas Government Code, Chapter 791.
Staff recommends approval.
