DISCUSSION
On November 5, 1996 the City Council directed staff to secure a consultant that was
knowledgeable in both municipal and private management golf operations to objectively evaluate
both the City managed and the lease managed golf courses, their financial performance and
programs The ultimate goal is for the consultant to provide a recommendation to the City
Council as to which management structure best serve the interest of the golfers of Fort Worth
and would provide the most effective and efficient management of the City's golf courses
The draft Request for Proposal (RFP) was presented to the City Council's Facilities and
Infrastructure Committee (FIC) on January 21, 1997 and the City Council on February 4, 1997
A selection committee that would review the submitted proposals and make a recommendation
to the Parks and Community Services Director was proposed by staff and endorsed by the City
Council This committee was comprised of representatives from the Parks and Community
Services Department Advisory Board, the North Texas Professional Golfers Association, the Club
Managers Association from a local area club, the City's Internal Audit Department and the Parks
and Community Services Department (P&CSD)
On March 6, 1997, staff mailed the RFP to fourteen (14) prospective golf consultants, and in
addition, an advertisement for bids was published in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram on both March
6 and 14, 1997 Six proposals were received On April 1 1, 1997, copies were sent to each
selection committee member along with a letter explaining the evaluation process and evaluation
criteria contained in the RFP

On Friday, April 25, 1997, the selection committee met to review the composite rankings (all
members of the committee were present except for Mr Robert Guth, General Manager, Colonial
Country Club, who had previously submitted his rankings) The selection committee discussed
the various merits of each proposal and recommended that American ClubServ be contracted to
complete this project
Based upon the rankings and the selection committee recommendation, staff solicited a cost
proposal from American ClubServ which was received on May 12, 1997 for a total sum of
$38,000 Staff considers this fee to be fair and reasonable for the scope of services proposed
American ClubServ is in compliance with the City's M/WBE Ordinance by committing to 10°l0
M/WBE participation The City's goal for this project is 10%
Should the City Council award this contract, the consultant would initiate its review in July
1997, present their preliminary findings in August 1997, and final report in September 1997
This review will also include a market analysis, i e ,telephone survey of 1000 patrons registered
within the Parks and Community Services;Department Tee Time Reservation System and two (2}
public input meetings
