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.
For many years I was a purchasing manager dealing with my companies suppliers. I was married to my wife not my suppliers.

If they did not do a satisfactory job found a replacement. Do not understand loyalty to a firm ruining our courses
