A request to authorize the Director of Purchasing to enter into an agreement with Foresight Sports, 9955 Black Mountain Road, San Diego, CA, 92126 in the amount of $74,290 for the purchase and installation of two indoor golf simulators for the new addition to the Pro Shop at Phillips Park Golf Course.
PURPOSE:
To purchase two indoor golf simulators to be installed at the new addition to the Pro Shop at Phillips Park Golf Course.

The City recently awarded a contract to construct an addition to the Pro Shop at Phillips Park Golf Course. This addition will house two indoor golf simulators which will allow for year-round revenue generation at the golf course.

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.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
I request the proposed resolution be adopted.
