How to bid on As Needed Golf Course Services for LA County Parks and Recreation
What LA County is buying and why it matters
The Los Angeles County Department of Parks and Recreation is looking for qualified vendors to provide as-needed golf course operation services. This includes the maintenance and operation of one or more golf courses, and may also involve managing banquet rooms, pro shops, and coffee shops.
The county intends to create a pool of qualified vendors through Master Agreements. This means multiple businesses could be selected to provide services as specific needs arise over time.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
This is a continuous solicitation, meaning the County accepts responses on a rolling basis with no fixed deadline. While an initial submission deadline was April 1, 2019, responses received after that date will still be evaluated after the initial Master Agreements are in place.
Vendors can submit their Statements of Qualifications (SOQs) at any time. The County will review submissions as needed to expand or refresh its pool of qualified vendors.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is for professional service firms with significant experience in golf course management. To qualify, your firm must have at least five years of experience within the last ten years, concurrently operating and managing three or more golf courses.
Crucially, three of those ten years must be within the past five years and must include managing or operating a public facility. This indicates a preference for vendors familiar with the specific requirements and operational context of public-sector golf courses.
