Title
Extension of Service Agreement for Groundskeeping and Maintenance of Ironwood Golf Course (B)
This is a request for the City Commission to authorize the City Manager to sign a four-year extension to the Agreement for Groundskeeping Services at Ironwood Golf Course.
Explanation
After a Centralized Bid Solicitation in 2013, the City of Gainesville contracted with OneSource Landscape & Golf Services, an ABM Company (now known as “ABM Industry Groups, LCC”) to provide full landscaping and maintenance services at Ironwood Golf Course. The Agreement term was for four years with the option of up to two additional four-year extensions.
In 2017, the Agreement was amended slightly to address duties associated with the course’s renovation that were not included in the original Request for Proposal. These duties addressed additional drainage and materials to complete the fairway renovations.
The City has been satisfied with ABM’s quality of work and Ironwood would like to extend the contract for an additional four-year term.
Fiscal Note
Ironwood Golf Course’s landscaping and grounds maintenance costs over the next four years will total $2,186,088. The funds will come out of the Ironwood budget for the remaining part of FY18 and all of FY19. Starting in FY20, when Ironwood's budget is incorporated into the General Fund, the remaining balance of the contract will come from the General Fund.
Recommendation
The City Commission: 1) approve the four-year extension of Ironwood Golf Course’s agreement with ABM Industry Groups, LLC for landscaping and grounds maintenance; and 2) authorize the City Manager to approve the First Amendment to the existing agreement, subject to approval by the City Attorney as to form and legality.
