Paul Taylor, Golf Course Supervisor
SUBJECT: Laguna Lake Golf Course Irrigation Improvements, City
Plan No. N-03Y
CAO RECOMMENDATION:
By motion, approve plans and specifications for Laguna Lake Golf Course
Irrigation Improvements, City Plan No. N-03Y, and authorize soliciting
of bids and contract award by the CAO, if the lowest responsible bid is
within the Engineer's cost estimate.
DISCUSSION:
In 1983, a project was designed to install an automatic irrigation
system for the entire Laguna Lake Golf Course. Due to budget
constraints, less than half of the project was completed at that time.
The remainder of the course continues to be irrigated using quick
couplers and manually-relocated sprinkler heads. The manual irrigation
requires high water flows up to 300 gallons per minute which does not
allow effective use of the wells at the Golf Course.
This project will automate of irrigation for the southeasterly half of
the course and for the edge areas of the northeasterly half of the
course. The project will provide seven additional satellite
controllers and approximately 165 additional automated sprinklers.
A previous cost estimate, provided by two landscape contractors, was
considered excessive. The project has been modified to reduce the
cost. If the bids should happen to be greater than the Engineer's
estimate, staff will recommend that the bids be rejected and that the
work be accomplished under the direction of the Golf Course Supervisor.
To facilitate this option, the bid documents request an alternate bid
for a contract that would only install the underground wiring.
Completion of this project will:
1. Permit a greater use of well water. With automation of the entire
course the water application rates can be better controlled to
make maximum use of the water available from the existing well and
the well being developed at this time. These two wells can
provide 75% of the water needed for the course.
2. Increase staff's ability to reduce water consumption. These
improvements will provide better coverage of the golf course and
will allow modification of irrigation in response to the need of
the turf and the availability of water. ��-
