Adams County to top up golf concessionaire bonus after construction closures reduced play
Summary
County staff asked commissioners to approve a one-year contract amendment to pay the golf concessionaire a three-year rolling average bonus (~$247,000) rather than the formula-generated ~$118,000 for 2025, because construction closures (irrigation replacement and other work) reduced available holes and revenue through no fault of the vendor.
County parks staff reported that extensive course construction (irrigation replacement and other capital work) limited available holes at the county's courses during 2025, reducing the concessionaire's formulaic bonus under the contract. Although the concessionaire still operated and the courses produced profit, the formula-based calculation produced a lower bonus this year due to construction-related lost rounds.
Staff proposed a one-time contract amendment to pay the concessionaire a three-year rolling average bonus (about $247,000) instead of the formula result (~$118,000) to make the vendor whole for impacts beyond their control; staff said the difference would be paid from the golf enterprise fund and that the amount is already budgeted. Commissioners expressed support for making the vendor whole for construction impacts and asked staff to confirm there are no other similar contract impacts pending.
