FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
MEETING DATE: OCTOBER 18, 2022
SUBJECT: RENEW ANNUAL CONTRACTS FOR HORTICULTURE CHEMICALS
AND FERTILIZERS
RECOMMENDATION: City Council to consider approval to renew annual contracts for
horticulture chemicals and fertilizers with BWI Companies, Inc., Helena
Chemical Company, Simplot, Winfield Solutions, and Innovative Turf
Supply for the Grapevine Golf Course and Parks and Recreation.
FUNDING SOURCE: Funds are available in the Lake Enterprise Fund (Golf) for an annual
estimated amount of $150,000.
BACKGROUND: The purpose of this contract is to establish fixed annual pricing for various
types of horticultural chemicals and fertilizers to be purchased on an as -
needed basis for the Parks and Recreation Department and the
Grapevine Golf Course.
Bids were taken in accordance with Local Government Code Chapter 252,
Subchapter B, Section 252.021 (a) and Section 252.041 (a). The contract
was for an initial one-year period, with four, two-year renewal options
available. If approved, this will be for the third renewal available.
Based on the evaluation of the bid by the Grapevine Golf staff and
Purchasing, it was determined that a multiple award contract would be
made to the lowest responsible and responsive bids meeting
specifications. These vendors provided the lowest pricing for the items
and will provide the best service and pricing for meeting the needs of the
City.
Staff recommends approval.
