CASE# I APPROVE WATER SUPPLY FOR RIVER'S BEND IRRIGATION By: Mark Boos, Parks/Utilities Supervisor Background: Two irrigation projects were approved and installed as part of the 2001 Parks Capital Improvements Program. Solstice Park is substantially complete with Staff and the contractor collaborating on the final elements such as the meter piping, electrical supply and cabinetry. Forty-five thousand dollars ($45,000) from the Park Trust Fund was earmarked for Solstice's irrigation and landscape improvements. Rivers Bend Park's irrigation is complete except for the main line from Pumphouse #1 to the athletic fields, and the work needed to convert well number #2 for irrigation, (as well as it's existing USe for the Municipal Water Supply). Fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) in Lawful Gambling Fund monies were approved by City Council for the River's Bend Project. Observations: In July of 2001, City Council approved the full $50,000 for River's Bend but only $15,690 for Solstice Park. At that time, staff explained that some of the budgeted Park Trust Fund monies (earmarked for Solstice), would be needed at Rivers Bend to complete that large irrigation project, and Solstice's project could probably be completed for the amount approved above. Of the $95,000 budgeted in 2001 for these two projects, $45,160 was expended on the actual irrigation system's installation. An additional $2,000 will be required for Solstice Park, leaving $47,840 from the original budgeted amount (from the two funding sources) as part of the approved 2001 Capital Improvement Program. Now that the design and quotations have been received, Staff is requesting authorization to complete the River's Bend water supply portion of this project. Below is an itemization for this work: · Piping, electrically acutated valves, backflow preventer, flow meter, electrical and mechanical labor, and SCADA system configuration. · Variable Frequency Drive, filter, and transducer · 4 to 6 inch PVC water main and electrical wiring from Pumphouse to irrigation system Total $24,000 $4,800 $4,000 $32,800 Both parks irrigation systems will be complete by authorizing a not-to-exceed amount of $32,400. Attached for your information are two, not4o-exceed quotations for the work listed above.
