RESOLUTION NO. 4499
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF RENTON, WASHINGTON, FINDING A SPECIAL
FACILITY AND MARKET CONDITION AND GRANTING AUTHORITY FOR
MAPLEWOOD GOLF COURSE TO PURCHASE USED ARTIFICIAL TURF FOR THE
DRIVING RANGE.
WHEREAS, RCW 39.04.280(1)(b) authorizes an exception to the public works competitive
bidding requirements for purchases involving special facilities or special market conditions; and
WHEREAS, the Golf Course is in need of new turf for the driving range. The Golf Course
driving range turf replacement has been in the golf course long range plan for eight years. The
existing artificial turf installed in 1999 has significantly deteriorated causing damage to
equipment and expenditure of additional replacement and repair funds; and
WHEREAS, the City has the opportunity to immediately purchase at considerable cost
savings — the used artificial turf currently being harvested by Coast to Coast Turf company, from
a practice field at Washington State University as a special facility and special market condition.
WHEREAS, the available used turf is in excellent to good shape. It is anticipated to last for
over ten years. This field turf is all the same green color with no permanent lines. It has a
protective underlayment that helps preserve the integrity of the field turf. Currently there are no
other sources for excellent condition used turf this cost; and
WHEREAS, the City driving range requires approximately 155,000 square feet of turf. The
available used turf is currently priced at $1.30 per square foot which includes the infill, in
comparison to new turf plus infill which is priced at approximately $5.00 per square foot. This
results in a significant cost savings for the product alone. The cost of 155,000 square feet of this

used turf with tax and shipping would be $274,699.50, compare that to the price of new turf,
plus tax and shipping at approximately $897,315.00, this would be a savings of approximately
$622,615.50. This is a great opportunity to recycle and reuse this used product at a significant
cost savings to the City. However, this purchase opportunity is only available for a limited time
and will be sold and unavailable before a competitive bidding process can be completed; and
WHEREAS, the above information is consistent with a finding of Special Facility and
Special Market Condition authorized by RCW 39.04.280(1)(b) and City Policy 2SO-02 section S.3.1
as an exception to the public works competitive bid laws.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RENTON, WASHINGTON, DO
