After heavy rains, board approves alternate sod supplier for turf repairs
Summary
Following heavy rain that left the preferred sod supplier unable to deliver, the board authorized accepting Grassmasters' bid to ensure sod deliveries and field restorations can proceed.
Staff told the board heavy rains left the originally preferred sod farm unable to supply the needed rolls, and the department recommended accepting the alternate bidder that could fulfill the order. The board approved accepting Grassmasters Sod Farm's bid and the motion carried by voice vote.
Staff noted the board will consider modifying future bid language to allow an immediate secondary award if the primary vendor cannot deliver due to weather. "So we'll do that next year," staff said when describing a plan to include a contingency for a second bidder. The motion to accept the alternate supplier carried without opposition.
