GOLF PRODUCTS - BW

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

Miami-Dade County Commission adopted a resolution authorizing the waiver of competitive bidding procedures for additional expenditure authority for golf products. This allows for increased contract amounts for Wilson Sports Goods, Cleveland Golf Products, and Acushnet Golf Products, all for the Parks, Recreation and Open Spaces Department. The waiver is to increase inventory of golf balls, clubs, hats, and apparel sold in the county's golf course pro shops. The decision required a two-thirds vote. Public comment included concerns about the profitability of selling golf products versus other park needs, but staff clarified that these sales generate revenue to offset golf division costs and reduce reliance on the general fund, with a reported 53 percent profit margin.
