II. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Sole Source Purchase: Golf Course Irrigation Pump Station Control Panel Replacement
Staff is seeking Council approval of a resolution that waives the bidding requirement and authorizes a
sole source purchase from Horizon Irrigation for a Rain Baird Pump Station Control Panel for Foster
Golf Links in the amount of $63,283.34.
The pump station control panel referred to above is the only system that will operate with Foster Golf
Links' current irrigation control system. Additionally, the only vendor currently distributing the control
panel is Horizon Irrigation.
Robert Eaton presented an overview of the system that is being requested for purchase. There are two
main components of the Golf Irrigation System, a Rain Bird Nimbus II computerized irrigation central
control system and a pump station control panel with associated equipment. These two systems
communicate to provide irrigation for the golf course. The 20 -year old pump station control panel and
equipment have reached their life expectancy and are beginning to fail. As the panel and equipment
begin to fail, watering capabilities are lost. The new equipment will save energy, prolong the life of the
equipment, and reduce sudden water pressure changes in the pipes causing breaks in the irrigation lines
which can interfere with golf play.
Since staff is moving forward with securing Council approval for this item now, Horizon Irrigation will
honor 2010 pricing as compared to a 3 -5% cost increase that will take place in January 2011. This
purchase will be funded through the Golf Course Enterprise Fund 411. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL.
FORWARD TO JANUARY 10 COW FOR DISCUSSION.
