REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Grant Yates, City Manager
Prepared by: Jason Simpson, Assistant City Manager
Date: January 14, 2020
Subject: Execute Purchase Order with SiteOne Landscape Supply for the purchase of
Grounds Maintenance Materials, Turf, Fertilizer, Irrigation Parts, and Related
Supplies
Recommendation
Approve and Authorize the City Manager to Execute a Purchase Order in the Amount of
$150,000.00 plus a 10% contingency for the purchase of grounds maintenance materials, turf,
fertilizer, irrigation parts, and related supplies.
Background
Landscape supplies and materials are needed citywide for repairs and maintenance to parks,
irrigation systems, and overall maintenance of the City’s outdoor facilities and assets. In addition,
materials are needed for city projects and for managing the landscape maintenance districts and
zones. In November 2015, the City joined the BuyBoard National Purchasing Cooperative, which is
a cooperative formed between the National School Boards Association (NSBA) and several state
school boards associations to streamline the buying process for schools, municipalities, and other
public entities, by adopting City Resolution No. 2015-084. Developed to comply with state laws that
require governmental entities to make purchases from an approved list of vendors who have gone
through a competitive procurement process, BuyBoard gives members the advantage of leveraging
the Cooperative’s ability to obtain bulk discounts, combined with the ease of online, web-based
shopping. Pricing is 3% to 5% lower than wholesale pricing currently available with SiteOne
Landscape Supply.
Discussion
SiteOne Landscape Supply is the largest and only national wholesale distributor of landscape
supplies in the United States and have a growing presence in Canada. Their customers are primarily
residential and commercial landscape professionals who specialize in the design, installation and
maintenance of open space slopes, facilities, lawns, gardens, and other outdoor spaces. They have
network of 477 store locations in 44 states and five provinces offering a comprehensive selection of
more than 100,000 stock keeping units, or SKUs, including irrigation supplies, fertilizer and control

pavers, natural stones and blocks), outdoor lighting and ice melt products. They also pro vide
