DRUM WV <br />ENVIRONMENTAL SPECIALIST <br />DEPARTMENT OF UTILITY SERVICES <br />SUBJECT: BID NO. 3031 - SALE OF THE 1992-93 GRAPEFRUIT CROP <br />BACKGROUND: <br />On September 22, 1992, a bid package was prepared for the sale of <br />the grapefruit crop for 1992-93 (see attached bid package). The bid <br />opening date was October 14, 1992. No bids were received. <br />ANALYSIS: <br />As in previous years, an attempt to solicit bidders for the harvest <br />of the grapefruit crop has resulted in no bids. Last year's <br />negotiated sale resulted in a total amount of $56,826.00 for the <br />1991-92 grapefruit crop. <br />The staff of the Department of Utility Services recommends that the <br />Board of County Commissioners authorize the Department of Utility <br />Services to -negotiate the sale of the 1992-93 grapefruit crop. <br />Chairman Eggert led discussion regarding the lack of bids for <br />our grapefruit crop. <br />County Administrator Chandler replied that staff had contacted <br />potential bidders who indicated that the quality of the fruit was <br />not up to their standards, and they did not want to get involved in <br />purchasing the crop from a government agency because of the amount <br />of paperwork required. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Bowman, the Board unanimously (4-0, <br />Commissioner Bird being absent) authorized staff to <br />negotiate for the sale of the 1992-93 grapefruit <br />crop. <br />W, <br />L_ OCT 2 i 9a <br />8g�����r <br />
