MEETING OF JUNE 2, 2020 TO: Mayor and City Council THRU: Susan Norton, Chief of Staff Connie Edmonston, Parks and Recreation Director FROM: Byron Humphry, Park Maintenance Superintendent DATE: May 13, 2020 SUBJECT: Froud Farms Hay Agreement

RECOMMENDATION: A resolution to approve a lease agreement with Froud Farms for about 54.5 acres of City Park land for the sole purpose of cutting hay for the amount of $150.00 per year and to cut hay on other park properties as needed for $2.00 per bale. BACKGROUND: Park properties at Hobby Use area at Lake Fayetteville Park, Madison Natural area, Bayyari Park, and Combs Park have historically been maintained as natural areas and brush hogged three to four times per year. In 2010 and again in 2014, the City entered a 5-year agreement with Froud Farms to mow these areas for hay. This agreement saved staff time and expense by not having to brush hog these areas. The latest agreement expired at the end of 2019. DISCUSSION: A request for bids was advertised on February 14, 2020. Only one complete bid was received which was from Froud Farms in the amount of $150 per year. In addition to the four properties listed above, the current bid also includes 3.5 acres at Rodney Ryan Park as well as a provision to mow other park properties as needed for $2 per bale. BUDGET/STAFF IMPACT: Staff time and expense required to brush hog undeveloped land will be reduced. In addition, $150 will be received annually. Attachments: Froud Farms Agreement Bid Tab 20-38
