IFIB 020-2026 Fertilizer Application Services

The City of Springfield, located in Greene County, Missouri, is seeking qualified firms or individuals to provide fertilizer application services through Invitation for Informal Bid (IFIB) 020-2026. The procurement specifically targets maintenance services for two municipal golf courses: Bill and Payne Stewart Golf Course (40 acres located at 1825 E Norton) and Horton Smith Golf Course (30 acres located at 2409 S Scenic). The primary objective is to secure a yearly contract for comprehensive fertilizer application, with potential expansion to additional City facilities as needed. Potential vendors must demonstrate expertise in golf course turf management and fertilization techniques. The bid is scheduled to be open from August 21, 2025, with proposals due by September 16, 2025. Interested contractors will need to submit detailed proposals demonstrating their capability to effectively manage fertilization services across these municipal golf course properties.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the procurement documents. The contract appears to be open to any qualified firms or individuals with appropriate expertise in golf course fertilization services. While the exact budget range was not specified, the scope covers approximately 70 acres of golf course terrain, suggesting a moderate-scale service contract. The yearly contract format indicates the City anticipates establishing a longer-term relationship with the selected vendor. Potential bidders should be prepared to provide comprehensive fertilization services that meet municipal standards for golf course maintenance. The flexible language allowing for potential additional City facilities suggests the possibility of contract expansion beyond the initial two golf courses.
