FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
MEETING DATE: MARCH 15, 2016
SUBJECT: APPROVAL FOR THE AWARD OF AN INFORMAL REQUEST
FOR QUOTE TO PURCHASE FERTILIZER FOR THE
GRAPEVINE GOLF COURSE
RECOMMENDATION:
City Council to consider approval for the award of an informal request for quote to
purchase fertilizer for the Grapevine Golf Course from Harrell's, LLC.
FUNDING SOURCE:
Funds for this purchase are available in account 210-42205-340-2 (Lake Enterprise
Fund/Grounds Maintenance/Golf Course Maintenance) in the amount not to exceed
$27,125.00.
BACKGROUND:
This purchase is for 25 tons of 42-0-0 fertilizer for the golf course except for the greens.
This is a season long, slow release type mix and will be applied once 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.
Harrell's, LLC. $27,125.00
Winfield Solutions, LLC $29,750.00
BWI Companies, Inc. $33,075.00
Staff recommends approval.
