PALM DESERT AND THE DESERT WILLOW GOLF RESORT IN
AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $276,998.21 FROM CROP
PRODUCTION SERVICES, SAN JACINTO CA.
SUBMITTED BY: Catherine Walker, Senior Management Analyst
Spencer Knight, Landscape Manager
APPLICANT: Crop Production Services
801 S. Grand Avenue
San Jacinto, CA 92582
DATE: September 23, 2010
CONTENTS: Bid Proposal
Recommendation
By Minute Motion:
1. Approve purchase of fertilizer, in an amount not to exceed
$276,998.21, from Crop Production Services;
2. Reject the bid proposals submitted by High Tech Irrigation, Simplot
Partners, Turfmaker Inc., Imperial Sprinkler Supply, and Foster
Gardner as non-responsive;
3. Waive any irregularities.
Backqround
On August 26, 2010, the City Council rejected all bid proposals received for the
purchase of Custom Blend Fertilizers (RFP A) and the purchase of Custom Blend
Fertilizers (RFP B) for the Desert Willow Golf Resort.
In an effort to increase competition in the bidding process, secure a full complement of
responsive bids, and take advantage of economies of scale that may be realized
through increasing the scope of the project, staff procured new bid proposals in concert
with the annual Public Works fertilizer bid process for the 2010/2011 fiscal year.
Staff Report
Fertilizers for the City of Palm Desert and Desert Willow Golf Resort
September 23, 2010
Page 2 of 3
The bids were opened on September 14, 2010, with a total of six bids received. The
Request for Proposals (RFP) incorporated the solid, liquid, and soluble fertilizer needs
of both the City of Palm Desert and Desert Willow Golf Resort. This required
significantly larger and varied sums of fertilizers from those requested in the initial
Desert Willow RFP process. The lowest responsive bidder to the City and Desert
Willow's joint effort is approximately $3,000 less than the bids received for Desert
Willow's earlier RFP of smaller scope.
A number of bids received were non-responsive. Imperial Sprinkler Supply and High
Tech Irrigation failed to bid on all line items, and failed to acknowledge receipt of the
addenda as required in the RFP. Turfmaker, Inc. and Simplot Partners also failed to
acknowledge receipt of the addenda as required in the RFP. Finally, Foster Gardener
bid had a product irregularity and required a product substitution. Foster Gardener
failed to submit the request for substitution five days prior to the bid opening for review
and approval by staff as outlined in the RFP. The proposed product is not an acceptable
substitution.
Com an Location Bid Amount
Im erial S rinkler Su I Palm Desert, Ca $ 43,162.11 Non-res onsive
Hi h Tech Irri ation Palm Desert, Ca $ 183,783.59 Non-res onsive
Foster Gardner Coachella, Ca $ 225,860.56 Non-res onsive
Cro Production Services San Jacinto, Ca $ 276,998.21
Sim lot Partners Palm Desert, Ca $ 288,984.22 Non-res onsive
Turfmaker Inc. Chula Vista, Ca $ 299,584.06 Non-res onsive
Crop Production Services comprehensively addressed all line items in the submitted
Vendor's Proposal and met the submission requirements as outlined in the RFP. There
is one product irregularity; however, staff believes that the smatl deviation in the
compound can be dealt with during the product application process to the turf. Staff
recommends waiving the irregularity and approving the purchase of fertilizer, for both
the City of Palm Desert and the Desert Willow Golf Resort, from Crop Production
Services during fiscal year 2010/2011.
Fiscal Analvsis
The actual quantities of the fertilizer purchased for Fiscal Year 2010/2011 will be on an
as needed basis dependent on many factors directly related to the turF and soil
conditions.
