The Owasso Public Golf Authority seeks a qualified firm, group, or individual to provide
total management for a municipal, daily fee golf course. The successful applicant will have a
demonstrated record of successful management of public courses and quality experience in all
areas of course management, including, but not limited to, course maintenance, food & beverage
operations, financial management, personnel administration, purchasing operations, public
relations, and course promotions. It is the intent of the Authority to contract all management
functions of a new public course to a firm, group, or individual. The course is currently under
construction, with a completion scheduled for early Fall of 1992 and opening planned during the
late Summer of 1993. Preference will be given to applicants whose experience with similar
°start-up" operations can be documented as successful. This Announcement is not an official
Request for Proposal; however, interested firms, groups, or individuals should immediately
contact Ms. Marcia Boutwell, Authority Secretary, with correspondence indicating an interest,
and include background information on the firm, group or individual; references; list of courses
managed or under contract for management; and resumes of key individuals. The Authority
intends to request proposals from a "short-list" of interested parties. Those requests will be
made prior to April 15, 1992. Take note that the willingness of the applicant to be available for
regular consultation during construction and prior to the effective date of the contract will be
considered as a selection factor. All information and "Statements of Interest" should be sent to:
