ANALYSIS <br />The grove's lowest crop estimate this year is 11,000 boxes. The <br />grove's highest crop estimate is 14,000 boxes. <br />Based upon the lowest crop estimate, Golden Gem Growers has offered a <br />contract that equals a total price of approximately $38,500.00. <br />Hubert Graves Packing Co., Inc., the purchaser of three seasons ago, <br />has offered a contract that equals a total price of approximately <br />$40,975.00, based on the lower crop estimate. <br />Final total dollars received will depend on the final box count for the <br />red grapefruit and juice content delivered to the processing plant, <br />less pick, roadside, and haul for the white grapefruit. The white <br />grapefruit this year are not suitable for the fresh market, as they are <br />slightly smaller than usual and have freckling problems. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />The staff of the Department of Utility Services recommends the Board of <br />County Commissioners accept and sign the fruit contract from Hubert <br />Graves Packing Co., Inc. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Com- <br />missioner Bowman, the Board unanimously approved <br />contract with Hubert Graves Packing Co., as follows: <br />FRUIT PURCHASE CONTRACT <br />AGREEMENT between <br />SELLERa Indian River Coun <br />2625 19th Ave <br />Vero Beach, Flori <br />Attention: John <br />BUYER: Hubert Graves Pac <br />P.O.
