FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
MEETING DATE: NOVEMBER 5, 2019
SUBJECT: APPROVAL FOR THE PURCHASE OF AN IRRIGATION UPGRADE FOR
THE GRAPEVINE GOLF COURSE
RECOMMENDATION: City Council to consider approval for 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 $106,476.
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 staff to water more precisely
and more efficiently.
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 Department 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
