SPECIFICATIONS AND ADVERTISEMENT FOR BIDS - TURF FERTILIZER
NO.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council approve the specifications
and authorize the advertisement for bids for the purchase of 20 tons of
Best "Turf Gold" slow-release fertilizer for use in various City parks.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:I Each year the Parks Department purchases
fertilizer for use on the City's 208 acres of parks. Experience has
shown that Best Turf Geld yields a lower annual cost per acre due to a
longer nitrogen release time, requiring fewer applications per year,
than a water-soluble or agricultural blend fertilizer.
This purchase, having an estimated cost of $9,000, is included in the
Parks Department's 1990/91 budget.
The bid opening date has been set for Tuesday, October 30, 1990.
