GOLF PRODUCTS - BW

Board of County Commissioners · 2026-06-02 · resolution

Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners adopted a resolution authorizing the waiver of competitive bidding procedures to increase expenditure authority for three existing contracts for golf products. The Parks, Recreation and Open Spaces Department will receive additional funds to purchase golf balls, clubs, hats, and apparel for resale in the pro shops of county golf courses. This aims to increase inventory, meet customer demand, and generate revenue. The waiver was approved by a two-thirds vote. Public comment included concerns about the profitability of selling golf products versus other park needs, but staff clarified that the sales generate revenue that offsets operational costs and reduces reliance on the general fund. The profit margin was reported as 53 percent.
