File ID: 25-0623 TO: THROUGH: FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: Indian River County, Florida MEMORANDUM Type: Consent Staff Report Board Of County Commissioners John Titkanich, County Administrator Michael Zito, Deputy County Administrator June 3, 2025 Indian River C2 Administration Complex 1801 27th Street Vero Beach, Florida 32960 indianriver.gov Meeting Date: 6/17/2025 First Extension of Contract with International Golf Maintenance, Inc. for Maintenance Services at Sandridge Golf Club BACKGROUND International Golf Maintenance (IGM) has been providing course maintenance services at Sandridge Golf Club since 1996. The current contract was granted to IGM in response to the County's Request for Proposals and approved by the Board on July 7, 2020, for an initial term of five years. The contract expires on September 30, 2025, with the term of the current contract allowing for two, five-year renewals dependent upon vendor performance, mutual agreement on terms and a determination that renewal is in the County's best interest. ANALYSIS Sandridge Golf Club benefits immeasurably from their relationship with IGM. Much of the golf courses' success is attributed to IGM's standard of excellence in the golf course maintenance industry. The golf course is in exceptional condition as a direct result of the attention to detail IGM has provided, and conditions of the golf course are the number one driver of golf course revenue. Since the contract was signed in 2020, the golf course has experienced a 30% increase in rounds played and now hosts over 129,000 rounds of golf annually. According to the National Golf Foundation, the golf industry continues to experience an incredible boom across the country with millions of new golfers coming to the game every year. This intensity has put a new strain on the golf course with added play and additional golf cart traffic resulting in the need for additional maintenance to the courses. The driving range, which was expanded in 2012, has experienced unprecedented growth with a 120% increase in revenue since 2020 and 2.4 million range balls dispensed in fiscal year 2024. Over the course of the initial term of the Agreement, Sandridge has enjoyed explosive growth in rounds played, driving range activity, and the revenues attendant to these offerings. At the same time IGM has absorbed the increased maintenance obligations to keep pace. While the course remains in excellent condition, additional maintenance is now required as well as 2 additional services that fall within the general scope of original contract. The driving range will now require a dedicated maintenance worker and equipment to both maintain the range Indian River County, Florida Page 1 of 2 Printed on 6/12/2025 powered by Legistarn 143
