FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER �Qj�
MEETING DATE: DECEMBER 1, 2015
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION FOR THE PURCHASE OF
GOLF CARTS AND ACCESSORIES FOR THE GRAPEVINE
GOLF COURSE
RECOMMENDATION:
City Council to consider approval of a resolution for the purchase of golf carts and
accessories from Yamaha Golf-Car Company through an Interlocal Participation
Agreement with The Local Government Purchasing Cooperative (BuyBoard).
FUNDING SOURCE:
Funding for this purchase is currently available in account 210-48860-340-1 (Machinery
and Equipment) for an amount not to exceed $227,740.00.
BACKGROUND:
This request is for the replacement of 94 electric golf carts, two gas carts, one concierge
six-passenger cart and accessories for a total of 97 carts. The current fleet will be three
years old in February. The warranty on the batteries is 25000 amp hours. This fleet will
: be outside the warranty by the end of December for a majority of the fleet. Batteries are
the single largest expense on the golf cart. In addition, by taking delivery of the new
carts before the end of December 2015, the trade value of the current fleet increases by
$19,200 versus taking delivery after December 2015.
Bids were taken by the Cooperative and a contract was awarded to Yamaha Golf-Car
Company. The Golf Department Staff and Purchasing reviewed the contract for
specification compliance and pricing and determined that the contract would provide the
best product, service and pricing for meeting the needs of the City.
This purchase will be made in accordance with an existing Interlocal Participation
Agreement with The Local Government Purchasing Cooperative (BuyBoard) as allowed
by Texas Local Government Code, Section 271.102, Cooperative Purchasing Program.
Staff recommends approval.
