Salt Lake County Bulk, Liquid Fertilizer, and Soil Remediation Products

Salt Lake County is seeking bids for Bulk, Liquid Fertilizer, and Soil Remediation Products specifically for the County's Golf Courses within the Parks and Recreation Division. The Request for Bids (RFB) was released on March 6, 2018, with a bid closing date of March 20, 2018, at 2:00 PM MST. The contract will have a five-year term, with the county retaining the right to periodically review and negotiate pricing. Vendors are required to submit their current catalog pricing and offer a percentage discount off their published price lists. The solicitation requires suppliers to provide a comprehensive warranty covering parts and labor for at least one year and agree to make records available for periodic audits and price checks. Evaluation criteria appear to focus on pricing structure, product availability, and vendor responsiveness, with an estimated annual purchase amount of approximately $50,000.

The contract is non-exclusive, meaning Salt Lake County can purchase similar products from other sources during the contract term. Three vendors were ultimately awarded the contract: Rentokil North America, G2 Green Distributing LLC, and Murdock Turf Products LLC. No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the provided documentation. Pricing is structured to remain firm for the initial two-year term, with potential price escalation of up to 3.0% thereafter, subject to county approval. While no minimum or maximum purchase quantities are guaranteed, the contract provides a framework for Salt Lake County to procure fertilizer and soil remediation products from these approved vendors. The procurement approach allows flexibility for the county while establishing a pre-approved vendor pool for these specialized landscaping and golf course maintenance products.
