Title
Centennial Park West Irrigation Additions
History
Centennial Park West includes irrigation of the main lawn seating area. This was installed as a part of the construction of the venue to support the growth of the sod.
In a cost saving measure, the north lawn area was hydroseeded. While the seed has taken and is developing, to fully support the growth of the turf in this area long-term for event seating, the addition of lawn sprinklers is necessary. As such, staff sought quotes to add irrigation to this area, as well as two additional areas of turf used during events that would benefit from consistent irrigation (see attached layout).
Attached, please find quotes from William Quinn & Sons ($39,547.53), Central Lawn Sprinklers, Inc ($72,557) and Carefree Systems ($27,500). Carefree installed the existing irrigation during construction of the venue.
Staff seeks Board approval to waive the bid process to expedite the installation of sprinklers before the onset of winter conditions.
