FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
MEETING DATE: NOVEMBER 20, 2018
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION FOR THE PURCHASE OF AN
IRRIGATION UPGRADE FOR THE GRAPEVINE GOLF COURSE
RECOMMENDATION: City Council to consider a resolution authorizing the purchase of an
irrigation upgrade from Professional Turf Products, L.P. for the Grapevine
Golf Course.
FUNDING SOURCE: Funds for this purchase are available in account 210-48860-340-002
(Machinery and Equipment) for a total amount not to exceed $49,594.
BACKGROUND: This purchase is to update and upgrade our present control system for the
golf course irrigation system. This is to replace a 20 year old system that
is becoming 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 usage.
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.
Bids were taken by the Cooperative and a contract was awarded to
Professional Turf Products, L.P. The Golf and Purchasing staff reviewed
the contract for departmental specification compliance and determined
that the contract would provide the best service and pricing for meeting
the needs of the City.
