Alternate 2 (Kurth Park)**
Director Kroeger presented the following timeline:
In 2017, the City and all leagues were notified that Beilfuss Corporation would no longer provide
field prep services. The City proceeded to find a new field service provider by publicly bidding the
project. All league coordinators were notified. However no bids were received. Staff proposed
hiring seasonal employees to perform game day field prep for 2018, which was approved. The
plan for going forward in 2019 was to include the game day field prep with the bid for landscaping,
weed eradication and maintenance.
The sports organizations are upset about the increased cost for game day prep. They were
expecting the cost per prep to be between $110.00 and $130.00.
Director Kroeger stated that the City has to either accept or reject the bids. An item that was
included in the bid cannot be removed. If the bids are rejected, the process has to start all over.
His concern is that timing is an issue. Mowing must be done and the fields prepared for upcoming
games. In addition, the submitted bid amounts are now public knowledge and the contractors that
do this type of work are already committed for the season. He further noted that the cost for field
prep is passed on to the organization that requests it. Director Kroeger stated the City does not
have staff to take on the field prep work. Superintendent Beilfuss stated the City just broke even
financially in 2018. Alderperson Kubacki expressed concern about rejecting the bids at this point in
time. Mayor Chiaverotti stated that some adjustments can be made to lower the overall cost.
Alderperson Kubacki moved to recommend acceptance of the bids submitted by Happy
Mower. Alderperson Madden seconded; motion carried.
