Commissioners authorize soliciting quotes and bids for artificial turf at Alanes Fields
Summary
Facing rising water costs and poor field conditions, the court authorized staff to gather quotes through buy-board vendors and to advertise for bids if estimates exceed $50,000, with commissioners to review quotes before approving any contract.
Commissioners discussed repeated spikes in water bills for county-owned athletic fields and considered artificial turf at Alanes Fields as a measure to reduce ongoing watering costs and improve field condition. Commissioner Carmona described past water bills reaching several thousand dollars and said turf could mitigate those costs.
The court authorized the judge's office to obtain quotes through the state buy-board vendors; if the estimated cost exceeds $50,000 the court directed staff to advertise and solicit formal bids in the newspaper. Commissioners asked staff to return with the quotes and any recommended procurement path; the motion to authorize obtaining quotes and advertising if necessary carried by voice vote.
