SUMMARY
Sebastian Golf Course was designed and constructed in 1981. Since that time, no major (or even minor) renovation has
been conducted. It is quite common that golf course greens should be renovated every eight (8) to twelve (12) years.
So without question, the greens at Sebastian Golf Course are in dire need of renovating. The greenside bunkers are also
in need of renovating. The Golf Course Renovation project, which is scheduled from May 21'to September 30a', 2001,
will produce a first-class playing facility for the Sebastian residents and our guests. A contractor will be used to rebuild
all nineteen (19) greens and all greenside bunkers. In order to procure a contractor, the City of Sebastian offered the
project through a Request For Proposal (RIP) bid. An RFP provides for selection of a contractor/firm based upon
overall qualifications, and not solely based upon the lowest bid. A selection committee was established to determine
which contractor had the best overall qualifications for the Golf Course Renovation Project. The Committee's
Chairman is Mr. Paul Wagner, General Services Administrator, and the other members include Mr. James Hill, City
Councilman, Mr. Mark Mason, Director of Finance, and Mr. Greg Gardner, Head Golf Professional/Director. After an
extensive verification of references provided by the six (6) contractors who submitted bids, the Committee selected a
contractor based upon the following criteria: cost submitted by the contractor, capabilities, references, past records,
experience, anticipated rapport with contractor, and overall presentation and impression of contractor. Based upon the
previously mentioned criteria, the Selection Committee determined the best overall contractor to be Links Construction,
whose President is Steve VanMeter.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Move to approve the Selection Committee Ranking, and authorize staff to enter into an agreement with Links
Construction for Golf Course Renovation in the amount of $587,000.

GENERAL SCOPE OF WORK
USGA Root Zone Mix
After intermediate layer is established, 12 inches of USGA-approved root zone
mix shall be applied. Root zone shall be a 90%/10% mix and must be tested by
independent laboratory to insure conformity to USGA mix standards. Compact root zone
mix and keep moist.
Sterilization/Fumigation
The putting surfaces and approximately 4 feet beyond all putting surfaces,
including the practice green, shall be sterilized with Methyl Bromide applied under
plastic covers in accordance with the manufacturers recommendations at the rate of not
less than one pound Methyl Bromide per every one hundred square feet area. Covers
shall be in place a minimum of 24 hours. The greens must ventilate for at least 24 hours
after the covers are removed. Depending on cleanliness of USGA root zone mix,
sterilization/fumigation may not be necessary.
Irrigation
Install new irrigation heads to ensure adequate coverage around putting surfaces
and surrounding areas. Install one quick coupler around each putting surface in a low -
traffic area decided upon by Head Golf Professional and Head Superintendent.
Fertilizing/Liming
All putting surfaces and surrounding areas to be grassed shall be fertilized
immediately ahead of the grassing (sprigging) operation with approximately 50 pounds of
Dolomite and 25 pounds of 10-10-10 fertilizer per 1,000 square feet of surface. This will
be applied with a walk -behind broadcast spreader. All dolomite and fertilizer must
conform to applicable laws and regulations. It must be manufactured from quality
materials, be free from impurities, meet standards for effectiveness and be free flowing
and suitable for applications. Soil pH must be in 6.0 to 6.5 range.
Final Grade
See grading plans. After final grade, putting surfaces shall be constructed so that
the surface will be visible from the point where shot is to be played. All grades shall be
drawn out with long, sweeping slopes in order to reduce maintenance costs, playability,
and creation of a natural condition. All final grades must meet approval from Head Golf
Professional and Head Golf Course Superintendent.
Sprigging
Tifdwarf Bermuda grass shall be used on the greens and Tifway (419) Bermuda
grass shall be used on green banks, slopes, etc. All grass, sprigs or sod, shall be certified
and shall be free of weeds and other varieties of Bermuda grass. Tifdwarf Bermuda
grass shall be planted on the putting surfaces at a rate of 30 bushels per one thousand
(1,000) square feet. All sprigs shall be delivered to the site as soon as practical after
harvest at the nursery, kept watered, sheltered from the sun and planted as soon as
practical. A bushel is defined as one (1) yard of dense mature turf at the time of harvest
and without significant loss of sprigs during harvest. Sprigs should be an average of four
(4) inches in length and carry at least two (2) nodes. Sprigs may be harvested with a
mechanical sod cutter and shredded with a mechanical grinder, or it may be harvested by
machinery which in one continuous operation separates the sprigs from the soil, shreds
sprigs and loads them onto a truck or trailer. Sprigs must not be exposed to wind and sun
for any length of time after removal from the soil. Harvesting and planting operations
must be synchronized with not more than twenty-four (24) hours elapsing between the
start of harvesting and planting. The same circumstances shall apply for sprigging green
banks and slopes with 419 Bermuda.
Planting
Planting on the green shall be accomplished by manually broadcasting grass
sprigs and promptly embedding them with self-propelled disc planters of an approved
type which leaves no wheel tracks. If necessary, to produce a moist seedbed, Golf
Course Superintendent will irrigate before planting. After planting, Golf Course
Superintendent will apply a heavy irrigation adequate to "seal" the surface of the soil and
to thoroughly moisten the soil to a depth of at least six (6) inches. Thereafter, the Golf
Course Superintendent will irrigate frequently, keeping the surface moist for at least 10
days following planting.
Survival Warranty
The contractor shall be responsible for producing an average survival rate of at
least 8 sprigs per square foot on putting green surfaces. Survival shall be evidenced by
new leaf growth, and a survival count shall be made within fifteen (15) days of planting.
Contractor shall re -prepare and replant, at Contractor's expense, isolated areas having
less than six (6) -surviving sprigs per square foot. As soon as sprigged areas have met the
previously mentioned survival warranty, the Head Golf Professional and Head Golf
Course Superintendent will grant acceptance to the Contractor, which will relieve the
Contractor of any further responsibility regarding the sprigs.
Green -side Bunkers
See greenside bunker plans regarding scope of work for each specific bunker.
According to greenside bunker plans, Contractor will eliminate certain bunkers, decrease
certain bunkers in size, and will renovate all other greenside bunkers. Regarding bunker
renovation, all greenside bunkers shall have new drainage installed which entails creation
of six- (6) inch wide trench the length of bunker. Trench will then extend out of bunker
and will be directed to a body of water or to an area not to be considered in the normal
course of play. Four- (4) inch drainage pipe shall then be placed in trench. Pea gravel
shall then be placed in trench, covering drainage pipe. Contractor will then re -grade
subgrade of bunker, with Head Golf Professional and Head Golf Course superintendent
approving subgrade. All subgrade must have a slight uphill slope, with the highest part
of slope being on putting green side of bunker. Bunker faces shall be re -shaped as
needed, to make bunker more golfer and maintenance friendly. Contractor shall sod (419
Bermuda) areas where bunker faces were altered. Contractor will add at least four
(inches) of bunker sand and smooth. As previously mentioned, bunker plans will show a
more detailed description of what to do with each individual bunker.
Clean -Up / Site Restoration
At the completion of all work shown on the scope of work, the Contractor shall
remove all stakes, tools equipment, debris, plastic covers, paper bags, etc. from the site.
The contractor shall repair areas that may have been disturbed by his operations, and
leave the affected areas of site in equal to or better than pre -construction condition. Site
restoration shall be approved by the Head Golf Professional.
