GOLF PRODUCTS - BW

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

Miami-Dade County Commission adopted a resolution authorizing a 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 golf course pro shops. Contract BW-10425 with Wilson Sports Goods has its total modified contract amount increased to $420,000. Contract BW-10440 with Cleveland Golf Products has its total modified contract amount increased to $320,000. Contract BW-10443 with Acushnet Golf Products has its total modified contract amount increased to $700,000. 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 these sales generate revenue to offset golf division costs and reduce reliance on the general fund, with a reported 53 percent profit margin.
