Resolution 11669CITY OF ALAMEDA RESOLUTION NO. 11669
AUTHORIZATION TO DEVELOP A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL
TO RENOVATE THE 18 GREENS ON THE EARL FRY GOLF
COURSE
WHEREAS, the greens on the Earl Fry Golf Course currently
consist primarily of Poa Anna grass which is highly susceptible
to turf diseases, particularly Pythium; and
WHEREAS, the latest trend is to construct greens using
Seaside Bent grass which is a more hardy species of grass, less
susceptible to Pythium, and can tolerate higher levels of salt
amenities in irrigation water; and
WHEREAS, every summer the golf crews struggle to keep the
Pythium fungus under control but a number of greens on the Fry
Course were infested this past summer which killed areas of the
grass, making it extremely difficult to putt with any degree of
accuracy; and
WHEREAS, besides Pythium being a problem, over the years
the greens have become worn, compacted, and uneven soil
settlement has occurred on some of them; and
WHEREAS, the best solution for resolving said problems
would require removal of the existing turf and top soil to a
depth of approximately one foot and tearing out the old
irrigation lines, valves and electrical connections, and then
recontouring and rebuilding the greens using Seaside Bent grass;
and
WHEREAS, it has been determined that the best method of
undertaking said rebuilding process in relation to costs and
minimal disruption of play would be to develop a request for
proposal which would incorporate design and build provisions;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City
of Alameda that said Council authorizes the development of a
request for proposal to renovate the 18 greens on the Earl Fry
Golf Course.
