e e JUNE 5, 1990 ~-- I RECEIVED ' I J:.!~ 5 1m CITY ~ANAGERS OFFICE CITY OF LA PORTE INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM TO: FROM: SUBJECT: Bob Herrera, City Manager Alex Osmond, Golf Course Manager/Pro Greens at Bay Forest Golf Course : f<O~,..r till The solution to our greens at Bay Forest Golf Course is obvious. We must replant the 328 Bermuda Grass that was lost during last December's freezing temperature. I have contacted three (3) grass companies. The first one I spoke to was Hurf's Turf. They are willing to sell the bermuda grass to us, but their grass is not certified and they will not deliver or plant the grass. The second company was Milberger's Grass. They are willing to sell and plant the grass for $0.15 per sq. ft. We would have to prepare the greens for planting. They can not give us a specific date when they could start the work. Their grass is certified. Coastal Turf was the last company I called and they also quoted $0.15 per sq. ft. and they will prepare the greens for planting. Their grass is certified 328 Bermuda Grass and will commit to a June 22nd start date. My recommendation is to make an agreement with Coastal Turf to replant sixteen of the nineteen greens. The procedure for this operation will be: June 11th June 12th Begin mowing out temporary greens in the fairways Poi son the exi st i ng rye grass. Close the course for one day Continue play on the regular greens Start play on the temporary greens Coastal Turf prepare the greens for planting Plant 328 Bermuda Grass June 13-18th - June 19th June 22nd June 24-26th - After the grass is planted we estimate 8 weeks before we can begin play on the new putting surfaces. The agreement would be for 104,000 sq. ft. for $15,600.00. We estimate another $4,400.00 for materials, fertilize, chemicals and overtime labor. AO/neb
