How to bid on As Needed Golf Course Services for LA County Parks and Recreation
What LA County Parks and Recreation is buying
Los Angeles County Parks and Recreation is seeking qualified vendors to provide as-needed golf course operation services. This includes the maintenance and operation of one or more golf courses. The scope may also include managing banquet rooms, pro shops, and coffee shop operations associated with the golf courses.
The County intends to establish a pool of qualified vendors through Master Agreements to ensure they have resources available for these services as needed. This is an opportunity for experienced firms to work with a large public agency.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
This is a continuous solicitation, meaning the County accepts responses on a rolling basis. There is no fixed deadline for submissions. Responses will be evaluated after initial Master Agreements are executed, and then on an ongoing basis.
The solicitation was published on February 28, 2019. While there was an initial submission deadline of April 1, 2019, the County continues to accept Statements of Qualifications (SOQs) for future consideration.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is suitable for firms with significant experience in golf course management. Vendors must have at least five years of experience within the last ten years, concurrently operating and managing three or more golf courses. This experience should include banquet room, pro shop, and coffee shop operations.
Crucially, three of those five years of experience 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 nuances of public sector golf courses.
