Acceptance of Bid for This Year's County Grapefruit Crop <br />The Board reviewed the following memo dated 10/7/86: <br />FLORIDA COOPERATIVE EXTENSION SERVICE <br />UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA <br />INSTITUTE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES <br />COOPERATIVE EXTENSION SERVICE AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATIONS <br />SCHOOL OF FOREST RESOURCES AND CONSERVATION <br />COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE <br />MEMORANDUM <br />REPLY TO: 2001-9 Ave., Suite 303 <br />Vero Beach, FL 32960 _ <br />October 7, 1966 <br />TO: I.R.C. Board of County Commissioners <br />FROM: Stephen H. Futch, County Extension Agent- Citrus <br />RE : Bid -for 1986-87 Grapefruit Crop <br />After reviewing the bids received, I recommend that Oslo Citrus <br />Growers Association's high bid of $65,000.00 be accepted for this year's <br />-grapefruit crop. <br />This bid does represent the current market value for the crop based <br />on $4.00 per box for white grapefruit and $6.00 per box for red grapefruit. <br />This year's bid price of $65,000 is $8,502 less than last year's bid price, <br />but does reflect the lower total production of fruit in the grove. This <br />year's lower total crop production is less than last year's and is a <br />direct result of the dry spring and the inability to flood a portion of <br />the grove for several months. _ <br />I also recommend that the Board accept the payment schedule as <br />outlined in Oslo's bid. They have already made the 5% payment and will <br />pay the balance in two installments of $30,875 each on Jan. 1, 1987, and <br />March 1, 1987, <br />If you have any questions regarding this recommendation or questions <br />about the grove, please call. <br />18 <br />
