PART 1. GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1 PROCUREMENT DESCRIPTION

The City of Salem, seeks contract with an individual to provide manager services at the municipal golf course, otherwise known as Olde Salem Greens located in Salem, MA on Wilson Street. The individual filling this position will be classified as an independent contractor not an employee of the City of Salem. The individual will not be eligible for municipal health insurance and/or other municipal benefits, nor have the ability to collect unemployment from the City during the offseason months.

1.1.1 SITE DESCRIPTION

Built in 1933 as a WPA project, Olde Salem Greens is a nine-hole golf course on 75 of the 275 acres at Highland Park. Yardage is 2,847, with a par 35. Tee times may be scheduled one day in advance, except for weekends; tee times on Friday or Saturday must be scheduled by Thursday, and Sunday and Monday tee times must be scheduled by Friday. Tee times are available Monday-Friday, 7 a.m. to closing, and Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to closing.

Olde Salem Greens dress code requires all golfers to wear collared shirts. No jeans, sweatpants or gym shorts are allowed. Soft-spike shoes only. A handicapped-accessible golf cart is available.

In 1931, the city’s park commissioners encouraged the city council to build a golf course on the Cabot farm along the shore in North Salem, the "greatest and best opportunity" for a course. They believed that the costs for the land acquisition and construction of the course would be returned to the city from the course fees. In the same timeframe, they rejected the idea of building the course in Highland Park.

In February 1932, City Engineer Frank P. Morse filed a special report with the city council in regard to the Highland Park site, stating, "In my opinion, a golf course at that particular location would be difficult to maintain, owing to the large outcrop of ledge and abrupt slopes." The city councilors were not persuaded and, pressed by Councilor Dooley, pursued the construction of the course in Highland Park, "first, as a means of relieving unemployment and second to build a course which eventually will be paid for by the playing public." In April 1933, the city council unanimously passed a resolution, "favoring Salem residents for the jobs on the municipal golf course."
