equipment maintenance services at the golf courses . The golf
course mechanic has been transferred into the Parks Division
to handle the entire Parks and Recreation Department small
equipment repairs . Large equipment needs of the golf opera-
tion will be maintained under this contract agreement .
Maintenance work provided will be preseasonal preparation/
tune-ups including replacement of hoses, filters, bearings,
reels, rollers, etc. from approximately January through March,
daily service from approximately April through October for
minor, ongoing maintenance such as lubrication, checking and
adjusting fluid levels, setting adjustments, grinding blades/
reels, and other general maintenance or repairs, as needed, as
well as miscellaneous and/or emergency service throughout the
year.
Four requests for proposals were distributed to contract the
maintenance of the golf course equipment . The only company to
respond with a proposal was J. W. Turf, Inc . at a cost of
$54, 380 . 00 to be paid in ten monthly installments of $5, 438 .
The cost includes the mechanic ' s time and any grease and oil
provided.
J. W. Turf, Inc. has estimated the equipment maintenance hours
to be performed as follows :
Preseason Tune-up Work 6 weeks @ 44 hrs/week = 264 hours
rft. In Season Maintenance Work 32 weeks Q 20 hrs/week= 640 hours
