FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
MEETING DATE: APRIL 1, 2025
SUBJECT: PURCHASE OF FERTILIZER FOR THE GRAPEVINE GOLF COURSE
RECOMMENDATION: City Council to consider approval for the purchase of fertilizer for the
Grapevine Golf Course from Harrell's, LLC.
FUNDING SOURCE: Funds are available in the Lake Enterprise Fund (Golf) in the amount not
to exceed $26,080.
BACKGROUND: This purchase is for 15 tons of 42-0-0 fertilizer from Harrell's LLC for the
Grapevine Golf Course. This is a slow-release mix and will be applied
once per year instead of three times per year. This fertilizer will provide
the necessary nutrients to the course throughout the year, reducing labor
and cost for reapplication and will reduce the amount of time when
portions of the golf course are closed for fertilization.
Purchases will be made in accordance with an existing interlocal
agreement with The Local Government Purchasing Cooperative (Buy
Board) as allowed by Texas Local Government Code, Chapter 271 and
Texas Government Code, Chapter 791.
Bids were taken by the Cooperative and a contract was awarded to
Harrell's, LLC. The Golf 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.
Staff recommends approval.
