In response to one such request, a quote was received from Foresight Sports in the amount of $74,290. The simulators proposed satisfied the requirements originally stated in the RFB and specified by the City's golf professionals.
DISCUSSION:
The purchase of these simulators was included as a Decision Package in the 2022 Capital Budget and will be funded using account 550-4442-451.74-99.
IMPACT STATEMENT:
The addition of these simulators to the Pro Shop at the Phillips Park Golf Course will generate revenue during typically dormant winter months.
