So I have a little further information, based on a cursory review of the Executive Golf course maintenance bids for the last 7-8 years.
It appears that once a bid is accepted and contracted (usually for a few courses in a package), that contractor keeps the job.
It appears the District puts the contracts for Exec Course maintenance out for bid, when they're turned over to the District from the Developer. A contract is awarded for a length of time and then comes up for "renewal". It appears they are generally renewed with the same contractor (I haven't yet found a case where a winning bidder was not renewed. That doesn't mean it hasn't happened, only that I haven't seen where it's happened in the last 8 or so years.)
I won't comment on the wisdom of that approach.
