AGENDA TITLE: Specifications and Advertisement for Bids for
Turf Fertilizer for the Parks Department
MEETING DATE: January 4, 1995
PREPARED BY: Parks and Recreation Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council approve the specifications
and authorize advertisement for bids for 18 tons
of Best "Turf Gold" slow-release turf fertilizer
for use by the Parks Department.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Each year the Parks Department purchases
fertilizer for use on the City's 280 acres of
parks. Experience has shown that Best "Turf
Gold" 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.
FUNDING: The estimated cost of this purchase is $10,500.
Funding has been included in the 1994/95 Parks
Department budget.
